For my designer readers.
Here’s a little love for all my designer readers. Specky Boy Design Magazine has a nice retrospective of logos from 40 famous companies.

Why can’t anyone design a logo anymore?
Yes, we all know the new Gap logo is getting HAMMERED in the press. And rightfully so. It’s horrible. But what’s being overlooked in this Gaptastrpohy is the sad fact that’s it’s not just the Gap – nobody can seem to create a logo these days.
