I can’t help you there, Wadad. If it’s possible, I’d highly recommend a local course as opposed to long distance. The peer feedback received in person can mean a lot. Good luck.

Hi David,
I’m interested in studying graphic design …do you recommend any (good) online long distance college?
thanks

Shawn,

More often than not, colour should be added after the logo is designed. Do you have a portfolio showing your sport logos? I’d like to see.

I do logos for sporting events. Eventually I will have a client that want
me to create a tacky marsi gras themed logo using purple green and gold. I usually prefer to do more modern minimal design, but occasionally a client prefers the oposite, which usually isn’t a big deal, but I have a hard time working with thw mardi GRAS colors. Have you ever succedully used or seen these colors used in a clean modern style that I could use as reference or research, or do you have any suggestions or theory that might help me out. I usually don’t have trouble with other color requests, I just get stumped whenever I come to these colors.

That’s great, David, I look forward to the next Q&A post!

You can ask as many questions as you like, Rob. No worries. I’ll add that second one to the ‘bank’ for future Q&A posts.

Ciao for now.

I’d seen a few minutes after I posted the comment that you’d answered it already. And it did not surprise me that you maybe spent 7 hours a week on the blog. In fact maybe a surprise it wasn’t more!

I can ask another one? That’s great! Again this may be one that you’ve touched on in several posts before but here goes: Both davidairey.com and logodesignlove.com have quite high PageRank and Subcription rates, did you employ any paid for link-building service to market these blogs or did you get these good results by hard work, ie good content, submitting to directories, contributing to other similar sites, etc.?

I’m doing fine, thanks, enjoying a great summer (to those outside the UK, that was a joke!) Hope you’re well.

Rob, I agree. My second name does help set me apart, though I do sometime become tired of spelling it over the phone. Especially when it takes two or three mentions. :) Thanks for your question. I actually answered it in the first round of Q&A. Feel free to ask any others that come to mind, and I hope you're keeping well.

I was interested to read all of your answers, David, in particular the answer to Giroin’s question about the naming issue. You are fairly lucky to have a name that’s not all that common and fairly short, making the logo creation easier!
I have a question. I hope you haven’t already answered it somewhere here. It is this: How much time every week do you spend on your blog? And, while I’m asking, how much time a week do you spend on LogoDesignLove?
I ask because your sites seem so professional and as though a lot of thought has gone into every aspect. It’s always struck me as though it could be very time consuming. I hope you don’t mind the question. :)

Hi Betsy,

You’re more than welcome, and thanks for adding your question for me to answer. It’s a good one.
