When you are needing a good shot of logo and identity inspiration in your veins, don't get caught up with the seemingly endless variety of logo and design inspiration galleries. So much focus is placed on these sites, that we seem to assume these are the only places to get current inspiration. This is far from the truth. Reading Case Studies is the way to go. Don't believe me? Read on.

'The 12 LogoType Designs - Have you Seen These Series' showcases logos that are type orientated, in that they only use type or sets of characters to convey the message. They are free of icons and imagery. This style of logo design is one that I love, the logos are message focused, they are bold and strong, yet they can also be smooth and subtle. The emotion of the message changes with the typeface used.

Here are some honest thoughts on the Bing logo design. Frankly, when I first caught glimpse of this logo, I had to make sure it wasn't April Fools, somehow I had been caught up in some time distortion field. But no. This seems to be the real deal. Microsoft has really excelled at making themselves look hideously silly... again. And this is all before the product even launches. Nice.

A very simple and minimal post this. A handy collection of Behance users in one place. Although I signed up with Behance some time ago, I was initially put off by the level of information required to set each project up. But more and more I have seen people using and relying on Behance to display there work. So now is time for me to get my act together.

What are your rates, what do you charge for logo design? Seemingly harmless in itself and frankly on the surface a fair enough question. But lets open this up a little more. I have stopped giving out hourly or fixed rates for logo projects, except for a budget logo package which ultimately is only suitable for website header graphics etc.

A relatively simple brief for this logo project. Right from the beginning I was able to get a handle on what the client wanted pretty instinctively. The logo is for a website, specializing in minimal Jooomla templates, so the 'minimal' bit was a pretty good clue. It was one of those jobs where the client could of not given me any brief at all, but just pointed me to some previous site designs and said go for it.

There is, in every industry, the unavoidable anally sore fact that what you do to earn a living, will be cheapened by anyone given half the chance. There will be the I only have £75, can you do a great logo for that? and the many variations on that theme. Work swaps, freebies, favours, friends and family, guilt trips, you name it, some potential clients will try it on. It's how we are wired when we don't fully understand someone elses area of expertise.

For me, fonts/typefaces are the most important part of what I do, the most crucial ingredient. The fonts from structure, they are the framework, they set the mood and they go along way to speak the message. Without the right font, logos in particular, designs can crash, limp along or just vanish without a trace.

In my previous Logo Design Tips post, in the introduction, I touched on the likley issues with comparing your designs to those displayed in the many logo design galleries on the net. I think this point is worthy of some further reflection as I feel it can be quite disheartning for newer logo designers to get motivated when faced with these other ideas and designs. These sites, as well as inspiring, can also uninspire and create a lack of self confidence, myself included. To the degree that I actually don't often visit these sites too often.
