Reworking The Logo Factory design (cont’d)
June 30th, 2009
A few weeks ago, I told you about plans to rework The Logo Factory logo and walked readers through the stupidly exhaustive process of redesigning a logo. After overhauling The Logo Factory house (long overdue) I set about incorporating the icon into a servicable word mark. I thought we were on the right path, but numerous nay-nays in the comments section gave me reason to pause. My daughter’s “Looks like Crazy Earl’s Logo Emporium” comment didn’t help either. We had managed to develop what I though was a funky ‘different’ approach, but many thought the design didn’t work. Like most designers working on their own logo, I just didn’t know and when it comes to criticism of our own stupid logo, my confidence goes right out the window. While I sorta liked it, I wasn’t sold completely. So in this never-ending saga, we’re going to take another stab. Decided to have a another go at the font work, this time using versions of ITC’s Lubalin. Let’s start with a similar setup to the original rework, arcing the word ‘Factory’.
