You suck at Photoshop

May 2nd, 2008


Speaking about Photoshop (you know we were), found this on the toobz last night. A great series of how-to-Photoshop lessons by Donnie Hoyle, wrapped up in a hilarious back story that follows the host’s descent into madness and ultimately, a Swat raid. You gotta watch the whole series to appreciate the cleverness of the set-up. Looks like I’m a little late to this party - the video has had well over a million hits on YouTube, but as this is Bitter Free Friday - I’m not going to be, well, bitter. If you want to watch the series in higher resolution (with stereo soundtrack) you can do so here, at My Damn Channel. Speaking of videos (you know we were), and shameless plugs (we are now), checked out our new logo design video yet?

DVNO - 70’s & 80’s Classic logo video by Justice

March 31st, 2008


Found on YouTube this morning - kick ass music video for French electro-pop duo Justice and their single DVNO. Contains the type styling of just about every cheesy 70’s and 80’s logo you can imagine, with killer motion graphics timed perfectly to the sound track. Must admit, this is the kind of logo animation that I’d love to produce when I grow up. If you got a few minutes to spare, take a gander and see how many logos and/or typography styles you can recognize - there’s a boat load. According to Computer Love’s blog post on the vid, the motion design is by Machine Molle with artwork design by So Me. A little humble pie’s good once in a while I suppose - kinda makes our own logo design video look a little pedestrian…

New logo design video

March 10th, 2008


Here’s a nifty project that we’ve finally completed - our first video logo design demo reel - over 300 logos in the span of 3 minutes. In order to save some time, I utilized images that were already available on our web site, either on our daily logo archives, in our logo design gallery, or featured in our Classic Logos portfolio. At some point I’ll probably lose all the frames and watermarks as well as demonstrate some logo animation samples and techniques. Overall, not bad for a couple of days worth of work. The raw Quicktime source file for this animation is the better part of 100 MB, with a compressed Quciktime Pro version of about 19 MB (if you’re so inclined you can see the higher resolution 19 MB version here) but I figured I’d compress it and shoot it up to our You Tube account so that people can have a looksee. If you dig the music, you can download the MP3 here.
