Just found this one:
http://www.logomaid.com/detail.php?uid=6244&maincat=3

which looks somewhat like the Ubiquity logo:

Might be a stretch, but the Logomaid one definitely reminded me of Ubiquity.

Hi Androo,

Thanks for your comment. Regrettably, my own logo gets confused with another blogger, who is very popular, but I’ve been using it for some time now, and people know me by it, which is important.

great post topic… i try to tell people who start a blog or are thinking of starting a website / blog to be original.. granted there are creative sites / logos out there but would you really want to be confused with someone else…?

Ashley,

Our subconsciousness plays a bigger role than most imagine, you’re right. Cheers for the visit.

It’s definitely a very interesting post. However, I was wondering, how do the designer’s visualize their unique creations? Maybe they come across some nice visuals and then forget them, though it’s impression remains deep down their sub-conscious mind. And at a later stage when they do start off with their creation, unknowingly, it is influenced by the previous visuals. However, the example I saw in the post i.e. the logomaid one, didn’t make me feel it was a sub-conscious inspiration…

Hmm. Funny, I knew that was a v in the context of your name but when I looked at just the letterform, i saw the u. probably my backwards brain! Yup, that link is exactly what happens. Looking at the whole name it reads correctly, but the individual letters are a bit looser.

You can tell it’s a ‘v’, but now that he mentions it I can see what he means.

Coincidence..? http://www.clazh.com/read-this/

That’s been around the web enough, I just thought it was apparent. As I know your name is David, I’m reading ‘David’, and not ‘Dauid’, so I don’t think it matters too much.
