A guide and inspiration. Welcome to the beginning.
Are we producers or preservationists?
Your logo doesn't need to "say everything" about your brand. It needs to be memorable and work at any size. Apple is an apple. Nike is a swoosh. Simple, recognizable, timeless. Stop trying to cram your entire story into a logo.
How do you handle feedback that hits different?
