My passion for artsy stuff and logo design in particular!
The other day I checked the website http://www.libyaninvestment.com/ and found two adds in the announcements section for logo design competitions. Ever since the Libyan revolution a lot of the governmental institutions both old and newly established ones started getting what I'd like to call the new look treatments which included in most cases a new logo! I participated in the one they had for the ministry of education but that was a while ago and until now no news of the new logo or the winner of the competition. Lets hope the Civil Aviation Authority Libya and the National Council of Civil Liberties and Human Rights Libya will do a better job!
I have to say that I hate the fact that most logos here are overly worked and have nothing memorable about them as a result. I have to admit I love simple, clean and memorable logos. They should be memorable and having a whole lot of stuff going on in whats supposed to be a logo doesn't help with that. I also love the incorporation of arabic calligraphy or text into a modern day logo. Of course with my beginner level Adobe Illustrator skills I still haven't dared try my hand at that. I already have two places in mind though that can make use of my humble logo making skills. See what I can come up with for them.
Anyways, this whole logo design competition business got me online searching for the best and the worst of logos. I especially like the human rights logo below:
Maybe next time I'll try posting some the logos I've designed myself. Some of which had some really good potential.

The other logo I found in the best logos of 2010 (a blog site that had a whole bunch of the best of logos). I don't know for some reason the round shape full of letters and alphabets has an Islamic design feel to it and since this is a logo for some kind of research I love the connotation made.
