The Graphic Zen logo.
As we get ready to roll into 2011, we unveiled the new Graphic Zen logo for the company. We’re proud of the look and love the various comments we’ve had from clients and friends including: “Like the colors!” “Hate this – go back to the old one.” “I like it – looks like a smiley face.” “I like the way the Z bends.” As you can see, not all were positive comments, and that’s okay. When designing a logo, you aren’t able to please everyone in terms of colors and design. We had the goal of coming up with something...

Can vehicles be considered art? Watched an episode of “Top Gear” the other night and the hosts entertained the topic, going so far as to set up their own exhibition of what they considered art at a local museum. Of course, it was Top Gear so it was all a bit cheeky, and they caused me to think about it. Are cars art? Do auto manufacturers consider the “looks” of a model in the design phase? The Bugatti Veyron, yes…the Pontiac Vibe, no. Is it subjective? Perhaps. What do you...

New look is already being utilized in various fund raising projects for this non-profit. If you feel obliged, you can still donate via the current website by clicking...

My apologies (I’m sorry!) to all Tweeters out there, especially my followers, for my repetitive Nigerian bank scam tweet. I’m sure it was funny the first few hundred times you saw it. :-0 See, I was trying out a tweeting software to schedule tweets and added that one. Instead of selecting “Publish Once”, I somehow selected “Publish Every 15 Minutes”. Yikes! Wasn’t even aware of it until my brother sent me a “Dude, you are SO annoying!” email. Feel like a newb, I suck – I know – but hey, no excuses. I screwed up and I’m...
Read MoreAss-what?
Okay, I must admit that I rarely pay attention to the drugs being marketed on television. The supposed cure for an ailment usually comes with a litany of side effects, many that seem worse than the original “problem”. I would love to design a logo and help craft a name for some of these drugs, as the manufacturers seem to shell out boatloads of money on such projects. I would have loved to have been in the meeting for this product: See, I was half-watching TV when the ad for this product came on and I heard “..blah, blah, blah, ass effects.” Excuse me? Ass-what? For...
