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.

Logo Designer’s Unused Logos

As promised here are the unused logo design submissions made to JeremyBolton.com. Thanks to all the designers who sent in their designs. It is a great mix of logos that, for various reasons, haven’t been used for any particular project.

It was exciting to see all the submitted logos because I am always inspired by other designers work. I hope you too can find inspiration in every one of the logos too.

These, of course, are logos that were never used, but feel free to click on each designers link to see their full portfolio of work. You will also see I threw in a few of my favorite unused logos from past projects. Again, thanks to all the designers who submitted!

Now That’s Clever – Alfa Vale Hotel Logo

One of the recurring design challenges that logo designers face is coming up with a design for something that may be viewed as cliché or obvious. However, when done right, even the mundane can become interesting. Take the above logo for example. Although the first idea that may come to a designer making a logo for a hotel may be a bed, this design takes that idea to the next level. The inviting typography and colors add to the overall idea of comfort. Find other great logos by Denis Wong on his Behance profile.
