This is a topic that we could all discuss for time indefinite and still not agree on one logo that would be classified as the best logo of all time. But as with everyone else here, I have an opinion as well :) To me what classifies a good logo is what impact it has on the environment it is in...

A visual presentation to communicate a message, whether it be commercial or non-commercial... ?? Who knows.... There is no definitive answer... only opinions and there are as many opinions as there are people... Sorry for not being more specific :) D

I had a placement at a web design company in London and whilst I did a lot of designing they tought me some basic code... So can say that it was a pro course in a way... :)

For Kay and myself at Calibre Designs it has been ok. We have a steady flow of work coming in and it keeps us going. |Maybe its good for us designers that there is a slow down in the economy because that way other companies look for ways to get more business and one way is to improve their...

I like what you have done on this logo. Very creative use of typography. It works well.

Although the Wacom cost more then other graphic tablets, they are worth it. I have tried both expensive and cheap tablets and the difference is very big. The resolution plays an important part and also how pressure sensitive the tablet is. With this said I would recommend the Wacom Intuos 3 A5...

Well... they may cost more but they last a lot longer and are more stable then any pc. I think thats why they say it is more value for money. I am using the macbook 13" and I am really happy with it. Got tired of my pc crashing so I bought this and have had no problems with it what so ever. The...

I think design blogs are great. They are a great way of communicating with other designers and also it is a way of sharing work and get inspired by what other brilliant talents have done. It is also a great way of sharing business, if this is needed. Regards Dan

Yes I totally agree. I have ups and downs as well. One day I wonder why I am doing this at all and another I think it is the best thing in the world and wouldn't do anything else. The hardest thing is if I don't have anyone to discuss design with. My better half is wonderful, but she does not...

Hi Greg, I think that a way of doing the online portfolio is to divide them in to categories. That way it seems that a company looking through your portfolio doesn't have to look through a lot. But I think it is important to be selective and show only the artwork that you know that people or...

This is a vast improvement to the other logo. I looks great, modern and clean feel to it. The design does not look too expensive. Well done D

I like these ones... he he... Spot on :) Regards, Dan

I can relate to these two: 'You can spot bad typography from 100 yds away' 'You are completely immune to subliminal advertising' But there is one that I didn't see and this has caused many arguments between me and my other half, and that is that I constantly comment on every piece of design...

I am self taught in the software that I use. A friend got me started in photoshop but for the last 6 years I have just been exploring new techniques to improve my skills in this software. With regards to vector based software, I got started when I was very young in Corel Draw, then I moved on...
