The old logo’s time was up! It’s about fresh and new around here… and you can expect a lot of that coming up on this site. It’s going through a slow-but-steady makeover. First up: The DLOCC logo.
It’s Spring Cleaning around here, and that mean’s new a new logo to freshen things up around this site. We’ve been getting more traffic so it’s time to throw on our game face and make this place look ‘balleresque’ (that is a word). Let’s take a look a comparing the two logos.
Old DLOCC Logo
Please note that the logo above is meant to be on a gradient background so it looks kind of funky with a plain white background. In this logo there is a “brushed steel” effect on an orange gradient layer with rounded corners. The font used for this logo is Century Gothic and Tahoma (I fell in love with this font for a little while as you can see on this website). I created this logo in PhotoShop CS4 about 8-months ago.
New DLOCC Logo
Here’s a view of our new logo and I can say I’m quite pleased with it. I drew my inspiration from this logo after viewing some of the stuff on css-tricks.com. On there, Chris Coyier has some neat CSS-type of element in the site’s design (like brackets and asterisks). I decided it would be cool to have some curly-brackets around the CC on the logo to make it look more web dev’ish. Yaladamean?
Let me know what you think!
Fonts used for this logo: LubalGraph Md BT (logo text) and Jellyka Estrya’s Handwriting
I plan on improving one little thing on the site each day I can. As you can see each post now has a related post section at the bottom of the page! Pretty neat… FYI, to accomplish this I am using the Yet Another Related Posts Plugin
Update:
Ok I published this article like 2-minutes ago and already made a revision to the logo. All I did was stretch it out and put in a little slash. Check it out:
