Every new year I like to try new things with the Abduzeedo logo. In 2009 I changed the typography a little bit, but now that it's 2010 I decided that the blog needed a symbol. That necessity came up when we are finishing the Abduzeedo iPhone app and we needed to have an icon.
So in this tutorial/case study I will show you how I created the symbol and what the inspiration behind it was. We will use Adobe Illustrator for the tutorial
The wallpaper of this week is an image created by Christopher Raymond, a 24 year old Boise based artist about to graduate in the fields of Design and illustration. Christopher is currently working in a studio called Yellow Box Studio as designer, illustrator and creative juicer during the day and diving into the deep end at night experimenting with different hand drawn and digital mediums.

The book suggestion of the week is about Jeff Bezos and the history of Amazon.com. One Click: Jeff Bezos and the Rise of Amazon.com is a really good book, very inspiring and motivating especially about believing on what you are doing and focus on the long term when doing things.
