When I created the very first version of Abduzeedo I did a simple logo because I didn't have much time back in 2006, I wanted the blog up and running as faster as possible. However after a few months I decided that it would be cool to have a nice and unique logo, but without using any symbol. That's why I chose to create a font instead of using an existing one and with Adobe Illustrator new anchor point features this task is much easier.
The wallpaper of this week is an amazing design created by Rik Oostenbroek specially for the Abduzeedo 4th Anniversary. If you don't know Rik, he is a 20 year old self taught Dutch digital artist with more than 5 years of experience. Rik has done work for clients such as Mazda, Panasonic, Volkswagen, Palm and others, and we are super happy that he presented us with this beautiful wallpaper, and also a poster, but that is a little secret for another post.

The book of this week is Poke the Box. Written by Seth Godin, Poke the Box is very inspiring and motivating about initiating and shipping. It makes you think about so many things and makes you want to make things happen.
If you're stuck at the starting line, you don't need more time or permission. You don’t need to wait for a boss’s okay or to be told to push the button; you just need to poke.
