Rant
What is it with sigwriters? Are they all born without any idea about design or typography (or colour, for that matter?) Do they train at all, or do they just buy a machine & decide to be a signwriter in the manner of those who think they are designers because they can use InDesign, or (God help me), Microsoft Publisher?
Viewing signwriting sites is causing me to lose will to live. Only one so far with any design merit. Will choose them for price to produce signs.

Create Your Own QR Codes
"A QR Code is a matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by QR scanners, mobiles phones with camera, and smartphones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.
Common in Japan, where it was created by Japanese corporation Denso-Wave in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. QR is the initialism of Quick Response, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed. "(from Wikipedia)

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."
