Wait a second...



I've thought about this a few times and thought I'd finally post something about it. What is wrong with the Animal planet logo- why is the "M" sideways? It makes no sense whatsoever and I've been able to find no explanation online, but a chap from this forum sums it up pretty well:

"...how this type of crap get spicked by and for multi-million dollar companies just amazes me. I mean, I see so many truly talented designers busting there asses every day and not getting paid squat, and some craptacular shitbomb like this ends up representing a channel..."

Really though- how does this happen? If I were to present something poorly thought out like this to one of my clients- they'd laugh.  However, the firm that designed this logo was paid thousands I'm sure...

Five or six logos designed from scratch, plus I designed this Pride/temp tattoo for Old Navy!

Facebook Stock

At the beginning of the year I had plans to dabble in the stock market- specifically to start by buying Facebook stock. I bought books, etc, to get myself familiar with the process and had planned to open en Etrade account. Well, I procrastinated. Everyday design work took over and the stock market became less exciting. I still don't have an Etrade account, but it looks like I dodged a bullet and a hit to the pocketbook by avoiding the Facebook IPO debacle.

This article explains it well:
