Hire a professional who will do it the right way and make sure that your business is shown in a professional manner. A …
You just started a new business, awesome! Now you need a few things to get yourself up and running. Business cards, letterhead and stationery, a website, company polos and jackets, some promotional items like keychains and magnets, vehicle wraps for your company trucks, a logo for all of those items and a list of other things. You start thinking to …
Every few years the controversy of depicting Native Americans as a sports mascot is reignited. Just this past year the Washington Redskins have been the subject of public criticism for this reason. Although I can see both sides of the argument, I thought it would be unlikely for any sports logo depicting a Native American to endure much longer. Much …
Ok. I am about a month and a half late, but I thought it would still be useful to comment on the sportslogos.net lists of best and worst logos of the past year.

Take a look at our own Chiefs here in Kansas City as a prime example. The design remains almost indistinguishable from uniforms our 1967 Superbowl team donned. KC sports talk radio almost went …
A couple weeks ago I went on a rant concerning what I believed to be improper criteria for defining art and artists. Today I am going to give a few thoughts on another elusive word in the art world today: creative. As I was doing a little research on the definition of “creative”, I did what most would do, I …
Illustration and design is something that I oddly feel compelled to do. I use the word “compelled” not because I am trying to portray myself as “the artist” that is moved romantically toward his craft. Nothing that deep.
