it looks like nickelodeon wants to end up using just the “nick” part. the “olodeon” looks tacked on to it (and gives the appearance of floating below the baseline, to me).

Good story about the Woolies logo, maybe Apple just don’t find it that apeeling!

I was surprised when I first saw it too, Andrew, Ian. The effects are cheap and unnecessary. Stephen, the 9/11 piece was written by Andrew Sabatier—a talented identity designer and contributor to my book. He has quite a lot of interesting opinions throughout his website.

@Andrew seconded. That looks like a stock Photoshop bevel if I ever saw one and aesthetically it’s just obnoxious.

I agree with you on the Doctor Who logo David. It’s a nice use of the initials, but the shape really doesn’t work with the oblong type arrangement like that. … Love the sci-fi lens flare too ;)

A good mixture of articles here, particularly the evolution of the Lego logo, of which I didn’t realise had so many previous variations or how long the current logo has been in use for. I also found the article on the 9/11 memorial logo quite in depth, raising some valid points. I’d have to agree with the author that this is a very successful logo, working on a number of levels.

The story of Apples copyright case over the Woolworth logo seems all too familiar, and is as usual quite controversial. Personally I can see the similarities, and also an issue that’s not been raised about it being similar to apples green environment logo they now put on all packaging. It will be interesting to watch how this unfolds in the courts, especially considering viewpoint about Wooloworths going into the computing area.

That Hilton logo looks like it wouldn’t be good enough for one of those crowdsourcing design contests…sigh…
