Adding Eric, and the Making of His Logo.

Posted on March 7, 2013 by John Dalton

Shortly, my old friend Eric Wybenga is (hopefully) going to join onto my site as a subscriber.  He’s a writer, and a good one–always has been.

He’s (also hopefully) going to be one of a bunch of friends and professionals talking about what they’re doing here: asking questions, talking shit, engaging with other friends and professionals about whatever happens to come up.

Which leads me to –

Eric's Logo 01

The one we’re running with, at roughly the size it’ll be seen.

This will be what Eric’s tag/logo will be for his posts here (for the moment).  I had imagined that, as people show up, I’d give them one of these to use here–if they don’t have one of their own they’d like to use instead.  This decision has already led to some interesting graphic design questions.

See, Eric’s colorblind.  So, when I presented him with my first set of colors and choices for his logo …

The one in the upper right reeeally doesn’t work, and I sorta knew it wouldn’t, but due diligence demanded I show it.

… this was his reply.

Nice.I choose yellow (? still colorblind…) “E.” And I’m gonna check out Chris’s posts now. Psyched.

So, this: what started as CMYK Yellow in Illustrator, and a dark, mudded-up blue/green.

It’s hard to miss at this size, isn’t it?

Thoughts, everyone?  Eric?
