The trick is to find an original idea, which is extremely difficult, as combining initials is often the first route designers take for logos. Molly,

Would you stay away from letter logo's? Or creatively using letters in a logo? I have been sketching w/ the letters M M for so long that I am unsure if it's hokey or if I am over thinking things. (unfortunately my initials are M.O.M which is extremely hokey in the sporting goods industry!) David,

I have a question. Would you stay away from letter logo’s? Or creatively using letters in a logo? I have been sketching w/ the letters M M for so long that I am unsure if it’s hokey or if I am over thinking things.

I used to draw a house or mountains and the sun rising over them in drawing class always since those were the only things I could come up with all the time. David give some pointers to the non-artists among us, like some software that will automate the process. This might be true, but what about those who cannot draw or sketch.

I wasn't aware that this article would be on dodgey grounds, not at all. I don't agree that sketching has nothing to do with the title, considering a great logo design requires sketching!

This article here has a fine example of keyword stuffing! 'Sketch' appears 10 times in the first 30 words and has nothing to do with the title. Dodgy ground IMHO ...

I've got enough box drawings to fill an entire site, and have been anxious to share a few on my site. I'm just waiting to pick out a new scanner! Thanks for re-sparking my motivation to scratch it off my to-do. It'll be a nice addition to <a href="http://creativebriefing.com/project-home-office" rel="nofollow">my home office to-be</a>!
