I really love the fact that you’ve put the design process for all of these logos onto your site, excellent idea!

Hi David,

I am student of graphic design and painting. I really like logo design and creating stationery. All your works look very useful and professional. I’m so confused that I am in the class for making new logos. I’ve learned a lot from other graphic design sites but yours is best of all. I want to say thank you.

God bless you.

Rana, separating how I feel from my work is near impossible. If I’m in a poor frame of mind, I won’t give my best. All work and no play makes David a dull boy. Thanks very much for the words.

David,

I really appreciate your unique mentality and your massive ability to extract the the best of everything in the design criteria, and apply it in your work.

I really LOVE your outstanding work, and wish you could give us some hints on how to achieve the best results in the shortest possible time?!
cause I’m going through hard times that I think will take lots of time to be healed!, which leads to me losing concentration and I’m afraid my work is being affected by my inner feelings …
you know, design is all about creativity, and creativity need FRESH MINDS, which’s the thing that I need for the current time! …
how am I supposed to seperate how I feel from my work?
have you gone through such times in which you thought you’re no more able to give the best you have?
do you have any advises for me ?

Thank you very much for the inspiration you offer through your work …

and sorry for my bad english ;-)

Hi Kristarella, the mind-mapping is something I make a point of doing, so I’m not sure why I didn’t show a sample sooner.

At first glance, it reminded me of stacked Jenga blocks, so, I guess that’s a good thing :D

I don’t particulary love the logo, but it is clearly an excellent work.

Love your blog. I have learned a lot of things that can’t be learned on a classroom. Thanks!

(Apologies to all those comments before me, I don’t have time to read 60 comments right now.)

Just wanted to say I like how you showed your mind map, haven’t seen that in your process before. Nice work on the negative space in 1a, b. I like the idea in #2, but it reminds me more of Hilton and hotels than building companies. I like the final product, I think it will work well on stationery and cars… good work with the mock-ups too (as always!).

Cheers.

J, I didn’t like the spacing on the upper case example, and found the title case approach to be much tighter / more professional. The weight of each character, regardless of case, can portray solidity.
