Corey,

Glad to provide a little extra insight into the design process / thoughts behind particular shapes.

exigent, firebubble, mobius, Budhi,

Good of you to drop by, and to take time to comment.

Jordan,

Thanks for considering the client as you have. Obviously they play a large part in deciding the final outcome. I also witness a lot of corporate sites that pay little, if any, attention to the favicon.

Personally, I’m not a huge fan of this logo design, but it is exactly what the client asked for. One area of my design that could use a little work is being able to hit the clients request on the head - especially when the request isn’t necessarily something that I would consider ‘good design’. This being said - I think you did a great job with the logo design since its exactly what your client wanted.

I will give your client props for putting thought into the favicon (.ico) file though. Too often I see a well designed website with a missing favicon and always wonder how something that appears above every page of the site got left out.

I really like that you show the initial sketch designs on paper. It is very interesting to see the thought process illustrated in this way. I also really love the logo in the turquoise colour. Good work David.

David, wonderful work as usual. Though I am not particularly thrilled about the bold, heavy typography, the mark alone is spot-on. As a fellow designer, I completely understand the almost infuriation at rejection of a truly remarkable logo and acceptance of one that really should have been left off of the table. Many times, the client has a “simple” mind when it comes to design and cannot fully grasp ones that are too beyond there “safe” style.

Great thumbnails and insightful approach at design.

I’m not a fan of the added “.net” part. I think it makes the “knowfree” text look kind of heavy. I loved reading about the aesthetics and ideas behind the mini graphic. I never really understand the ideas behind the shapes graphic designers use (ironic..) and so it gave some great insight!

This logo shows, even a simple design can look very elegant. I’ve just started to do logo and banner design using photoshop and I hope one day I will be able to design something as elegant as yours!

What a great design, and it was interesting to see the design process. I only wish I could afford to hire you to design my logo!

Excellent story, Karl, about picking up tools you’re unfamiliar with. I liked that.

Niyaz, Daniel,

I hope all’s well with you both. Cheers.
