Whenever it comes to developing an online logo design portfolio, showing off one’s design work can be a cumbersome, time-consuming affair. Selecting the appropriate designs, and then assembling them in a way that’s easy to navigate isn’t as easy as it seems (and something we’ve been battling for years). Chicago-based designer Mike Rohde outlines a nifty way of arranging his logos in various themed Flickr accounts and then embedding the resultanat Flickr slideshows in his design blog (apparently it requires upgrading to a ‘pro’ Flickr account at $25.95 a year). Certainly worth a looksee. His work’s pretty decent too.
For those who don’t know, Flickr is a Yahoo owned, online community-based photo management site that allows you to upload various images for sharing…

Hey Steve, thanks for the mention and kind words! I’m actually Milwaukee based, though I did grow up in Chicago.
I find Flickr wonderful for managing logos and other design samples. I use the Flickr Uploader tool for batch and single uploads. Makes life much easier.
BTW, you don’t need a Pro account to make sets — but with free accounts your sets will be limited (I think to 5) until you move to Pro.
Flickr also offers something called “Collections” which would, for example, allow you to make sets for a individual identity projects and then group them in a “collection” of identity design work.
