Steps of designing logo

Normally, I need to know what i create a logo about. Then, its concept will be focused in order to create a suitable logo for each purpose. Looking at the name of company about 15 minutes is my habit before designing. I wanna feel it and get inspiration to design. Next, i try to write the name of company in many different ways and focus on each letter then. Sometimes i write it on a paper, and sometimes i work on the computer. Depending on the concept of company, i gotta decide which one is the best and then make it completely by editing on the computer. I often use photoshop, illustrator and fireworks to do this job.

Typography in the Art Nouveau Period

True Reactionaries or Embarrassing Kitsch?

By the end of the 1950s, the work of the Art Nouveau movement was generally considered kitsch and seen as a rather embarrassing chapter in art history. However, art dealers were soon able to successfully introduce a profitable Art Nouveau renaissance.

The American ’youth movement’ of the 1960s borrowed Art Nouveau forms and combined them with psychedelic elements to create a form of protest often combined with vehement rally cries. These well-meaning attempts were even more quickly marketed and integrated than their predecessor of the turn of the century.
