Your Favorite Logos… Redesigned
I’m going to post a few logos you’re all familiar with along side their redesign. Some have been recently redesigned (Kodak, Intel, AT&T, Sprint, etc.) and others are from a few years ago. I’m curious what everyone thinks of the new looks. Did you even notice? Are they better? Worse? Why?
I will weigh in later but I’d like to see what everyone else says first. Read the rest of this entry
Graphic Design vs. Grafix Dezign

The Artist
I really enjoyed Steve’s post with the NY Times article about Ruth Gershon. The article and all of your comments got me thinking about about what makes one an artist, and the eternal "struggle" between following your dream and having a career.
