Logo. A logo (abbr. of logotype,[1] from Greek: λόγος logos - word, idea + Greek: τύπος typos - imprint, picture) is a graphic mark or emblem commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition. Logos are either purely graphic (symbols/icons) or are composed of the name of the organization (a logotype or wordmark). History[edit] Numerous inventions and techniques have contributed to the contemporary logo, including cylinder seals (c.2300 BCE), coins (c.600 BCE),[3][4] trans-cultural diffusion of logographic languages, coats of arms,[5] watermarks, silver hallmarks and the development of printing technology. As the industrial revolution converted western societies from agrarian to industrial in the 18th and 19th centuries, photography and lithography contributed to the boom of an advertising industry that integrated typography and imagery together on the page.
The First logo to be trademarked was the Bass red triangle in 1876. Best of Design 2010. As 2010 is wrapping up, it is about time do a sum up of the best sites that I've featured on Best Web Gallery. Again I've selected 50 sites from different categories: personal blog, commercial, agency, portfolio, and software. In 2010, CSS design is getting more interactive. People are using jQuery and CSS animation to add interaction in their design. More designers are using custom font faces. Some have incorporated responsive web design using media query. Responsive design is definitely the next big thing that we should look forward to. 20 Things I Learned Jax Sven Prim Future of Web Design Stephen Caver Version Teixido Pictory Riot Industries Brizk The Many Faces of Tobias Ahlin Haus Nike Snowboarding Living Principles Forever Heavy Christoph Zillgens Foundation Six Cargo Collective Mobile Roadie Donq 37 Signals Courier Rainy Pixels Simo Analog Veerle Kaleidoscope Joyent Hicksdesign Marie Catribs dConstruct Buffalo Galp Lost World's Fairs Fiell Image Mechanics Infinvision Grand People Crush Lovely Rokkan Cutler Yaron Schoen.

" The motto was proposed by Pierre de Coubertin on the creation of the International Olympic Committee in 1894. Coubertin borrowed it from his friend Henri Didon, a Dominican priest who was an athletics enthusiast.[1] Coubertin said "These three words represent a programme of moral beauty. The aesthetics of sport are intangible The Rings[edit] The five-ringed symbol of the Olympic Games.

Abstract Purpose: Our interest in reading with peripheral vision centers on its relevance to people with central-field loss, which becomes more prevalent with old age.
It has been proposed that the size of the visual span - the number of letters recognized reliably without moving the eyes - is a visual factor limiting reading speed. In this study, we asked whether the size of the visual span and reading speed show similar dependence on age in peripheral vision. Methods: Seventeen normally sighted young adults (aged 19 to 30 yrs, averaged 23.8) and old adults (aged 55 to 76 yrs, averaged 66) participated.
Performance was assessed 10° from fixation in the upper and lower visual fields. Rapid-Serial-Visual-Presentation (RSVP) reading speed was measured. Visual span profiles, measured with trigrams (strings of 3 random letters), are plots of letter-recognition accuracy as a function of letter position.

Based in the city of York, indigo sky design is a bit different from other graphic designers. You see we've not always been graphic designers. Having extensive experience in IT project management and business analysis in a variety of industry sectors, we know what its like to be on the other side of the fence too. We will work with you to ensure that you get exactly what you want, be it a marketing brochure, a website or a whole new corporate identity.
We want our clients to be delighted with our work. If you're not, then neither are we. When we're not designing, we like travelling to new places, going running, and spending time with family and friends (well not really the running, but we do it anyway). "We have used Indigo Sky Design several times to create logos and graphic designs for various projects. Rana Harvey, Owner, Dazzling Dummies "We have used Indigo Sky Design to help with the layout and creation of leaflets, promotional postcards, a book of French songs and a music CD. Some examples of information design. Designing information can help us see data in ways that help us achieve specific goals. Well designed data ends up having little text yet the information is delivered through a variety of visual means.
That’s how we learned in kindergarten, using pictures and picture books. We process images way faster than we process words. The Vignet Labs blog posted a great article that show some great examples of information design. For more information on the subject here are some of my fav books: Anything by Edward Tufte (The top four results) The Best Information Diagrams 2 (steep price, still trying to get my hands on #3) The above image comes from: Tim hunkin home page.
