Logo trends 2010
Check out 2010 logo design trends at Logolounge.com.
The new Telecom looks like a 'spore'.

"Microbial hitchhikers with all the tact of a sticker or cockle burr, these logos are a scaled-back version of a radiant star, and they typically start to take on three-dimensional qualities. They tend to be suspended in space or give the appearance of an underwater mine placidly floating in wait. (In fact, any of these logos could be a perfect candidate for animation.) Despite such dire comparisons, these logos still maintain an attractive, mathematical and mysterious quality that allows them to work well."

True confessions from print designers
The Graphics.com Newsletter always contains heaps of good info & tips.
Here's a good one from the latest newsletter: "Top Mistakes Designers Make When Sending to Printers — True confessions from print designers".
Worth a read if you send stuff to printers (and who doesn't)?
I think feedback from printers if something's not right with a file is a GOOD thing. We all have blonde moments!

Sad news and hard news
Hard News reports: "Paul Reynolds, internet developer, commentator and catalyst, died suddenly yesterday morning. He would have understood and approved of the way the sad news spread – via Twitter, Facebook and old-fashioned email".
I heard the news via Twitter last night. A terrible shock. My thoughts are with Helen.
