Book Review: Cartooning
Being into cartoon logos, I have quite a collection of cartoon books. Most of them are as informative as your average gas bill.
But this one is an exception. It is called “Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Cartooning But Were Afraid To Draw” by Chris Hart.

Free Logos?
We’ve all seen unscrupulous designers reselling the same logo, but free logos that anyone can download?! Is it just me? I don’t see the point in having the same logo as every other low-budget, mickey mouse operator. Apart from the trademark issues, it’s a sure way to scare off customers.

Pre-Designed Logos - Design Process
Pre-designed logos are great. Sometimes. The important thing is that you should know what you’re getting for your money. Is it just a template logo that will be resold a gazillion times?
