Bad to the Bone Branding

The House of Dereon branding is a reflection of daring approach and bold ideas. This Spring 2010 advertisement selection is fierce, stylish, edgy, and sexy.   The fashions are playful as evident in this advertisement as well.

31 Flavors and Design is ONE!

Now I love Baskin Robbins logo!  The logo incorporates playful use of colors in addition to the 31 highlighted in pink. This design appeals to you people as well as older ones! Great use of Gestalt! 

A Lesson In History for LOGOS

I love the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History and Culture's logo design.  The design cptured the essence of Maryland as well as African American History by using colors and images! I love it!

For the RECORD Logos Matter!

The logo design for Epic Records could have done a better job at using image to convey that it is a Records company. The design does not say "Records".  I think by adding an image would have better impact the design.

What Does Beauty have to do with Logo Design? EVERYTHING!

As I browse through one of my favorite fashion magazines, I stumble upon this logo for Ultra Beauty.  While there products are worthwhile this design is lacking in the area of  beauty! There is nothing that stands out to me that says, "Beauty".  Not a Good Logo Design!

There's Hope for Correct Color Use!

Browsing http://hyperakt.com/ I came accross this poster.  I believe that the use of the colors help to distinguish Obama's facial characteristics. This is a great use of color.

Color: Is There Room On The Court?

Considering that color has been described as the way an object absorbs or reflects light, I don't feel that the advertisement does a good job at making the yellow M&M stand out.  The yellow M&M blends in with the surroundings.  There is not enough contrast for the yellow M&M.  The green M&M stands out more.  Maybe a red M&M, could have been used to bring more attention to the two M&M's.
