Month: January 2011

A sprinkling of Logos

  • Post author By Carl
  • Post date January 10, 2011

Logopolis was taken. So was Logopalooza. Besides, I think you need more than three to use those terms. Onwards!

Over the Single Positive Integer Increment of Gregorian Calendar Occasion (New Year’s) the University of Bradford Students’ Union ran a contest to redesign their “Friday Night Disco” logo. Since for the last couple of years they’ve been using this…

Old FND Logo, used until end of 2010
Old & Busted.

…I thought it couldn’t hurt to enter. Equal parts crafting and waiting later, I won! This is what they’ll use now:

New FND Logo for 2011
New Hotness.

I was generally thinking of glow-sticks and star wands.

They were so eager to get going that the image was put to use a few hours after the contest deadline! My reward is free entry into any of their events (including the FND of course) for the rest of the academic year – something to bear in mind when passing through the city. The slight profile rise and achievement feel grand.

Part two of two: My associate Filmstock is part of a brand new collaborative that blog about video gaming (they met working at GAME). Final Boss Fight is being knocked into shape, and as some retro identity imagery was requested, I once again sallied in!

Mmm, pixels.

Oh yes, there’s an accompanying podcast too. I like the name. The podcast logo needs a little re-jigging to meet Apple standards, but the current one can be used on Filmstock’s site just fine.

I’ve that many logos to show off now, they may need to break off into their own portfolio page (or some lessers need culling).

Part three of …two. A little tinkering means I can give blog images captions now. A nice feature to have. I might go retcon some into older posts. Tata.
