logo eye candy
Just some quick eye candy for the logo aficionados out there as the Logos From Dreams Awards web site put together a series 85 logo types that I thought was kind of cool to study.

Who are you going to be today?
You? Even if you don’t want to, you are going to be you. Stacey Stahl, my manager and friend, emailed today with a link to Drew McLellan’s blog A nickname does not make you more cool.
