15+ Amazingly clever logos

December 10, 2008 from Youssef Sarhan's blog

Logo design is a huge part of graphic design. A logo is a name, symbol, or trademark designed for easy and definite recognition. I'd like to share with you a selection of logos that I feel are some of the best around. Hope you enjoy.

These are all taken from the book, 'Logo', a book from a design journalist, Michael Evamy, published by Laurence King. Laurence King have a great range of Art & Design related books.

Super Easy Neon Style in Photoshop
 Super Easy Neon Style in Photoshop
This past Friday was the Abduzeedo meetup here in my hometown of Porto Alegre. It was really cool, we had a lot of fun and a lot of beers! When I was leaving I noticed the neon sign outside the pub and it really inspired me to create a tutorial on how to acheive that type of effect in Photoshop. In this tutorial I will show you how to create a nice light effect in Photoshop. We will use Layer Styles and Blend Modes to simulate a neon text effect.

The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Elena Savitskaya a Graphic and Web Designer, based in London.

 Book Suggestion: Visual Complexity - Mapping Patterns of Information
The book of this week is a book I just got from a friend. It was in my wish list for a long time. The book is called Visual Complexity: Mapping Patterns of Information and as the reviews says, it's about our ability to generate information now far exceeds our capacity to understand it.
