I was recently approached by Jeff Fisher of Jeff Fisher Logomotives to contribute to an article he was writing for his Logo Notions column at Creative Latitude. It was a great honor, and I am very thankful for the opportunity to participate.
The title of the article is 'Using, fusing and abusing “the rules” of logo design.'
The questions posed to me were as follows:
1.) What are the top three "logo design rules" you were taught in your design education and who did you learn them from?
2.) What logo design of yours best represents the implementation of the rules you have listed above and why?
3.) What additional "rule" of your own would you add to that list as advice to a designer interested in getting involved in identity design?
4.) What "rule(s)" do you see being broken most often by other designers?
5.) What "rule" have you broken (if any) in creating a logo with successful results?
You can view the article here.
