Hello world, so my next assignment is to create my own logo for my new website. It is so hard to think of what to do that follows the quidelines of a good and memorable logo. You want to make it pop, make people notice it, but not necessarily with color. The logo should be awesome enough that it looks cool even in black and white. The bigger issue though is just figuring out what type of logo image would represent me, what says, Blair. Of course I thought about a big red bow, but that's just a bit much. In order to figure out what my logo should be I did a little research for logos of other things that I like, here are my top five, (keep in mind I only looked for about 10 minutes and I'm sure with more time I could find even better ones.

World wildlife foundation (panda)- cute, works in color and in black and white
NBC (1/2 wheel of color)- bright colors, simple
Hooters(owl)- creative, eyes are in the letters of the name
Pampers(heart)- simple
Iams(paw print)- easy design, recognizable that its for animals, works in all colors

Anyway, I have a new found respect for people who design fantastic logos that everyone can identify. Random revelation of 2/9/2010.
