      except 29 is a tad too close to the factory records logo - I suppose homage is okay.

      one of the logo making rules - if it works in just one colour, it’s good and will work in multi-coloured version as well. if it does not work in one colour - make a new one!

      @Roy: Yea, logomotive has a ton of amazing logos, but I guess I couldn’t find any in black/white presentation.

      @juiceman wow, that mira foundation logo really is amazing. Maybe I’ll feature that logo in a later post.

      @Jason Black: Yes, love your logo. Thx for letting me use it in this post!

      @Maggie MacNab: Awesome execution on your logo. Love it.

      @David Airey: I totally agree with you.

      “Egg in Spoon” icon is really impressive!!! The designer could use the “e” of egg and draw the egg and the spoon. It is a beautiful concept. It is just a shame we don’t notice it at first.
