Meryl's Notes Blog

I hadn’t planned on mentioning the new logo, but Andy Mason convinced me. He said he reads the blog through another client rather than on the site. When he left a comment for another entry, he discovered the new logo. So he suggested mentioning the new logo so those reading blog entries in a reader or other application know about it especially since I showed you three candidates.

I’m happy with the logo because it translates well to different media (favicon, business cards, printed note cards and so on). The previous one was lovely, but didn’t translate well for print and I was tired of the favicon I created (well, it wasn’t too creative).

This time, I used HTML-Kit’s FavIcon from Pics tool to create the favicon (Thank you, HTML-Kit!). The M could be stronger, but what can you do with a teeny 16×16 pixels?

If the site changes colors for whatever reason, it’ll be easier to change the seal color. It won’t be strange since seals come in different colors.

Logo Design Works impressed me. Two people worked on the design and they were one of the fastest and most effective designers I’ve worked with. The company has an excellent process in place and listens to customers. I wasn’t an easy case since I didn’t know what I wanted and they did the whole thing within a few days (not counting the time I had to make up my mind).
