Many of you will know I considered selling Logo Design Love. But following your valued feedback I changed my mind, and unless an offer I can’t refuse comes along, I’ll either open the blog to a number of guest authors and continue in some editorial capacity, or keep it as an online archive. If the latter, it probably won’t happen just yet, but that’s the plan.
If you’re interested in becoming a guest author, leave a comment or send a message. As much as I want to, I can’t offer anything in the way of cash, but you’ll be very welcome to show a byline that promotes your website/services. Your post will be read by the 25,000+ subscribers via RSS and email, as well as the 10,000+ daily visitors.

Having guest authors seems like a great idea.
I humbly submit my candidacy.

Guest authors are the way to go. It would be such a shame to lose the connection to your book.

Hi David,
We have already talked about this (but I still haven’t written what we talked about before!!), but yep, I’ll throw my hat into the ring. I think it’s a good idea to open this up.

HI, David.
Thanks for all your work on this great site–it’s an excellent resource. I would love to be considered for a guest author spot. My firm, Hexanine, focuses on identity design, and I also write on design and branding topics at Zeroside (http://www.hexanine.com/zeroside). I would love the occasion to specifically contribute about logos and identity here at Logo Design Love.
Thanks!

I hope you can continue as an editor.

Wow David, that sounds like a great idea.
I’m not very confident with my English writing, but if you ever want a section in Spanish I would be more than happy to contribute.

Hi David,
I am willing to contribute when I can as well.
I think it is a very wise decision not selling the site:)
Cheers, Duane.

Wow, I would love to contribute an article! What a great opportunity! Been a follower of the blog for quite some time now. I always go here when I’m a rut I need to break out of!

Everyone who kindly showed an interest should now have an email from me. If you don’t, something went wrong.

What a big disappointment I felt when I knew you want to sell Logo Design Love. And what a wonderful thing I feel now when you decide to keep it still be your own. However honestly if you sell it everybody still feel the spirit of your in this website. So it will not be fair to “Logo Design Love” when it can not be with its “father” anymore :-) .
To be honest my English is not very well but I’d still love to be a Guest Author of yours.
Cheers for your great decision!!

Good call over sticking to your guns and also for looking to welcome guest contributors. More eyes and ears will hopefully benefit everyone in the long run. That’ll be a win win situation.
I’d like to offer my services for aiding the logo love in.
Cheers for all your time and skills to date.

Hi David,
I’ve got some ideas kicking around in the poky recesses of what passes for my mind. I was going to write them up on my own blog, but if you think my writing’s anywhere near good enough to post here I’d be honoured.
