It’s that time of year again when Brand New reveal their Best and Worst Logo Identity Design of 2010.
Brand New is one of my favourite design sites, there’s always a great debate on emerging identity design good and bad.

Earlier this year I was contacted by Alison at The Proof Fairy to work on a new identity design for her business.
The Proof Fairy provide several services from blogging and writing, through to editing and a very handy ‘Pay As You Go Proofreading Service’ .
They have a great reputation and come highly recommended with many happy customers. Should you need any proof reading, writing or editing be sure to get in touch with them.
When contacted by Alison we had a chat through what she had in mind, what the company offered and I also provided a Logo Questionnaire.

Requirements were also that it communicated an unstuffy, slightly playful and relaxed feel that didn’t take its self too seriously. (more…)
