Logo Design Part of New $5 Million Spokane Airport Hangar

While I have seen my logo designs on billboards,  in newsletters and on websites, it’s not everyday that I see one of my designs as part of a $5 million building project. Associated Painter’s, based out of Everett Washington, specifically sought out a local designer to create a new logo as part of their new Spokane hangar opening. I was honored when they chose me as that designer. They were great to work with and I can’t help but be proud to see my logo used throughout their new facilities.

Logo Trends: Minimalism

No doubt you have seen a blog post, tweet, or Facbeook status update with the news that Starbucks is prepping for a new, cleaner, logo for 2011. Personally I think the simpler design is a welcome change, though it may prove a confusing one.  I have already quizzed a few (non-coffee drinking) friends about the new logo only to find they had no idea who this mermaid was representing. It will be interesting to see how Starbucks ties the name to the mythical sea creature. Read more →

Roundup: 2010 Best & Worst Logo Lists

As 2010 comes to a close websites, blogs, and designers are starting to put together their lists of the best (and worst) brand redesigns of the year. Of course these lists are subjective. One list may place a logo on a “best list” while another argues it clearly belongs on the “worst list”.  Either way it is interesting to see how brands have evolved over the last year. And who could forget the craziness that was the Gap logo refresh.

Designer’s Work Area Inspiration

First and foremost forgive me for such a long absence from posting on my blog. It has been a pretty busy few months both professionally and personally, but I am ready to come back full force. To start off I would like to thank Duane Kinsey for contacting me and other designers from around the world to include us in showcasing logo and brand designer’s work areas. You can find his full post along with all the work area photos at LogoBird.com. I think it is fascinating to look at the spaces in which people design. I know I like to be comfortable, relaxed, and inspired while I design. And just in case you are wondering, no my work area is not always that clean. When I am designing it looks more like an explosion of design books, sketches, and coffee cups. This photo just happened to be me showing off my new desk between design projects.

JeremyBolton.com: The 1 Year Anniversary

Well I can’t believe it has already been a year since going live with JeremyBolton.com. I want to thank all my friends and family who supported me in this endeavor. I would also like to thank the great clients I have met and had the privilege to work with over the last year.

And last, but not least, I want to thank all of the designers who have visited my website and helped keep a design dialogue going through posts, comments, logo submissions, and emails. (I am still amazed my website has been viewed in more than 120 countries!)

It has been a great year and I couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks everyone.
