This is a really interesting article about where the logo comes from. Branding is nothing new!

Be a Pirate
This article came to me via this week's LinkedIn "5 Things You Need to Know in the News this Week" email. It original article appeared in CoDesign. It's a pretty cool idea, especially for someone like me, who is looking to be a pirate rather than hire one. The only downside to the article is that the typesetting is terrible (I know it's online, but still, that's no excuse) and I found a typo almost right away. I guess my being critical of articles like this one is a good thing, though. I means I'm becoming a better designer and learning to see these errors more and more. I love learning!

What Being a Graphic Designer Means (from Imprint Online Magazine)
Happy New Year!
I realize it's been quite a while since my last post, and I tell myself almost every day that I should really take the time share some of the things I come across via this blog. So, in the spirit of New Year Resolutions, I promise to at least try and post more often. Posting is mostly helpful because it allows me to have an archive of articles I'm interested in, cool sites, and my own process.
The post today is a simple link to an article I found. Well, it found me. I get a weekly email from LinkedIn called "The 5 things you need to know in the news this week," and my email is graphic designer-specific. The articles are usually really fun and almost always useful. Another recent favorite was the "Best and Worst Logos of 2011," which was both entertaining and horrifying.

The link below is to an article by Hunter Wimmer and it's called What Being a Graphic Designer Means and was originally published in Imprint Online Magazine. I hope you enjoy it.
