askmrrobot is pretty bad with their suggestions unless you run a sim program like simcraft/mew/rawr to get your stat values and then plug it in to robot...
|Ex Tank|
askmrrobot is worse than bad. It will actively mislead you. Simcraft is only valuable for certain classes (I think, for example, it's good for mages, but it's terrible for shaman). It's best to do your research and find out which sim is best for your class and spec (for example, EnhSim is probably the most accurate for enhancement shaman). Every time someone mentions askmrrobot as a valuable tool a kitten dies. Seriously...there's a whole pile of them in the alley because of askmrrobot. It's an atrocity against kitten-kind.
The flaw with mr. robot is that each piece of gear is calculated by arbitrary weights INDIVIDUALLY rather than as a part of your whole gear ensemble. The fallacy is that while the "BiS" looks nice, the patchwork manner many people are able to gear with leads to miscalculations.
For example, with access to Heroic Rag, askmrrobot still recommends the 359 justice point trinket for hunters. Hit is nice, but not at the cost of that much agility and secondary stats.
rawr is pretty good as well for optimizing your gear but it takes a bit more know-how.
robot is a good starting grounds for people who are just completely lost in the sauce in wow in general. i myself don't use all the suggestions they give me all the time, but that comes with experience.
anyway this thread wasn't titled askmrrobot.com, there's other stuff in it as well.
Rawr's boss handler is broken and has been for some time. I recommend against any Bear using it.
AMR is decent for Bears, but tends to over value Stamina and has messed up trinket selections.
I don't trust EJ for Bears since all of it was terribly, terribly wrong for Bears at launch.
http://www.theincbear.com is better for Bears imo.
The person who wrote/admins AMR rruns a bear, so I'd assume it may be decent for them. Unfortunately, most other classes are a bit weird using it. I know it seems a long list, but I always advocate class specific tools and data such as:
Healing resource:
Shadow priests:
Warriors often prefer Landsoul's spreadshet, but I'm not 100% on where to find it.
Aside from the hunter references, the list is mostly based on recommendations of people who seem to know what's what for the class in question.
awesome, i'll add that up top
Mage guides walk a fine line between too indepth and to little information. Icy Vien's guide is passable at best, in my opinion it should go a bit more in-depth and teach mages how to spec there character based on fight mechanics. But that isn't a ton. I just don't like the guide over all it kinda skims the surface to much and seems to not be fully updated, but its me being picky most likely. Honestly its a hell of a lot better then other guides.
I would like every mage to take the time to read the 16 pages of snore-fest that is the EJ guide, but realistically.. Its not happening.
Landsoul's spread sheet can be found at the link below. I'm assuming its up to date as it's his website, but thegreatme is a way better source for dps warrior info.
[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
were you checking the full-length icy veins guide? they have summarized and full versions. their arcane guide helped me to understand proper timings and whatnot way more than what's currently on EJ. i do like ej's fire and frost guides but the arcane compendium was just a bunch of stats and nothing really about proper timings and all.
Prot warriors prefer Airowird's spreadsheet
Its labelled as a compendium for a reason. It's not a do this, do that, and this.... annnnd WINNER! You read the entire discussion, and you get a solid idea about how to play and arcane mage, and know all the in's and out'sI would like every mage to take the time to read the 16 pages of snore-fest that is the EJ guide, but realistically.. Its not happening
[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
I think a thread like this is a great idea. I think it has a little more work to do before it's ready to get a sticky though.
I would suggest you re-structure the post a little so that you don't start by sending people to reforging sites. Class guides are going to be a better start point. Pyrea's paladin guide should be on that list: http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...ection-Paladin and I'm sure there are other guides on this site that might be worth a link.
You might consider a link to the Tier 12 strategy section: http://www.tankspot.com/forumdisplay...-Tier-12-Raids - as very often threads here are just asking questions already answered in threads located there.
I like how none of the guides on Tankspot are linked in here.
Just saying. We have a ton of information on this website that doesn't require everyone to do an exodus to other webpages for information. If you want to make a compilation of stuff, you might want to reconsider, as swelt said, some Tankspot information.
I have no problems linking to outside, reputable websites when the information is lacking. But some of the things given here, the info is really not lacking in that department. Please also be advised that we cannot guarantee any safeties or reliability outside the Tankspot community when it comes to information.

"Damnit!" - Jack Bauer, 24
I have to agree with Kren. Tankspot offers real-time help from the forums and the stickied guides are more than awesome. You can't go to EJ and ask questions without getting snotty remarks (which was said in your post) so why would any WoW player want to go there for constructive critiscism and for help? It's like going to the official forums and asking for feedback on your rotation - Good luck with that.
Not saying that none of the links above are helpful, but it seems like this post makes Tankspot a not worthy place for information when it is more than worthy.

Thanks for the link...I love making bags. If I have extra fabric when I make my daugher a sundress I make her a double drawstring bag.

2013 Bentley Continental GT V8
by John Neff (RSS feed) on Dec 14th, 2012 at 11:57AM
The Entry Entry-Level Bentley I have a friend who once told me that he would never buy the cheapest version of anything. I pressed him about cars and figured he was backed into a corner when I mentioned Bentley. With only the Continental series of cars – GT coupe, GTC convertible, Flying Spur four-door – and Mulsanne sedan on offer, surely this friend of mine would go for something like the Continental GT coupe over the larger, much more expensive Mulsanne. While their base prices are separated by over $100,000, the Continental GT's starting price of $212,600 should still... Read More

The illusion of infinite choices
I read a story from Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar many years ago that I recently looked up (do not recommend the book - a real downer). But the story she tells is about a fig tree heavy with fruit - each fruit represents a different life choice for her. She hesitates in choosing a fruit, for she knows if she selects one, she by default rejects the rest. But because of hestitation, eventually all the fruit overripens and falls off and she is left with nothing.
The moral of the story: making a choice results in the elimination of other choices. Are there people out there who fear commitment for this reason? And has this fear caused you to miss some opportunities for love? I often think about this paradox - that in order to really grow, one must limit oneself by choosing a specific path, entering deeply into this choice in order to learn how to love. I know this is a really heavy topic, but is important to address in a culture that wants us to buy into the illusion of infinite choice. And sometimes we might decide to choose, only to be disappointed with our choice later on - how do we renew our ability to learn how to love in these situations of disappointment? Looking forward to some deep discussion!

Measurements & Ordering The Right Size
Shoe sizes vary by style—they run long, short, wide or narrow. We test fit size 8.5 shoes, and sometimes recommend ordering a larger or smaller size. Look for this information on any product page. (e.g. Fit: Runs long, buy a half size down.)
If one foot is larger than the other, always fit the larger foot.
The letters "4A", "3A", "2A", "B", or "C" below the sizes refer to the width of the shoe. The following chart explains the various widths Arthur Beren carries:
|4A or SS
|= Extra Narrow
|2A or N
|= Narrow
|B or M
|= Medium (Standard)
|C or W
|= Wide
Founded in 1909 in Vigevano, Italy, the family-owned Gravati factory creates classic footwear that's the choice of shoe cognoscenti around the world. They prize the handsome, timeless stylings and superb construction, but most of all they love the way these beautiful shoes and boots fit from the very first wearing. The secret's in the impeccable craftsmanship: Every pair of Gravati shoes is made completely by hand, from pattern-cutting to final inspection; uppers are hand-mounted on the last and left there for at least ten days, the only way to ensure a proper fit. Arthur Beren is proud to be one of a handful of retailers in the United States that carries this esteemed and sought-after brand.

WASHINGTON - A D.C. councilmember is calling for the establishment of a relief fund for victims of flooding in the Bloomingdale neighborhood over the weekend.
Kenyan R. McDuffie of Ward 5 says rainwater inundated residents during a storm Sunday night and the city government must intervene. McDuffie says the storm caused water to rush under doors and sewage to back up.
City workers distributed sandbags and cleared catch basins on Monday.
The Bloomingdale and LeDroit Park neighborhoods have long been plagued by flooding.

Design Batting Average.
No one wants to strike out. We all make a purposeful effort to succeed, but in the end it just doesn't work out the way you had hoped and you go back to the dugout and sit down knowing you'll get another attempt at it again soon.
Baseball is all about stats. The key statistic regarding at bats is of course the "Batting Average." The higher the average, the better the player, the better the player the more hits they'll get and more hits mean less strikeouts. That said someone only has to succeed 3 out of 10 at bats and they're considered an all-star. Yet in design that type of creative batting average would be looked upon as marginal at best.
Let me tell you about a recent at bat I had. And like an umpire you can make the call in regards to my performance.
Polar bear concept 1.
I started this project off like any other logo identity project. I am pretty methodical in terms of my creative process and the first stage of my process is research and collecting of information so I can create from an informed approach and develop appropriate solutions. Since we're talking baseball analogies I like to develop a good game plan.
Polar bear concept 2. (Modified Motif)
The client filled out my creative brief and I started to create my concepts. The topic of refrigeration brings up classic metaphors yet I wanted to capitalize on these in my own stylized approach.
Polar bear concept 3.
My thought on this option was to create a badge or sticker approach. They install in a broad range of locations and this would work well as a leave behind branding on all the installed units.
Polar bear concept 4. (Modified Motif)
On this project I felt a character based logo would be a good solution, so most of what I presented in my first group of logos were character driven. I arrived at this decision after auditing about 50 competitors logos. I also ran this by the client before I started building my concepts out too.
Penguin concept 1.
I've never done a Penguin logo before. That said I've never done a Polar Bear logo either. Unlike the Polar Bear I wanted this logo option to be extremely iconic and the forms of a penguin lend themselves to that approach.
A secondary nod to refrigeration in this option is the horizontal version which I intended to resemble the stereotypical shape of a thermostat. I wanted it to be a subtle attribute and not overt.
Penguin concept 2.
Still playing off the iconic penguin I work it into the letter form of an "A" since the company name is "Advanced."
Corporate approach 1.
I wanted to show a few options that weren't character driven. This was one of them.
Corporate approach 2.
On this one I decided to play up the concept of "Air." I also decided to use a badge approach with customized letterforms.
I was happy with these options and presented them to the client with my rationale for each explained. The client said they'd show the concepts to the their board and get back to me.
As soon as I heard the word "Board" I had a bad feeling. No mention of a board approval was ever brought up until now. I knew at this point that more than likely I'd be doing more explorations.
Whether it's a Board, Committee, Team or any other name given to a group of individuals who'll critique art it almost always results in a graphic train wreck. Marketing people love this type of approach because it allows them to play art director. You get a hundred ignorant opinions flying around that rarely result in a good direction.
What you do tend to get more times than not is a request to see more ideas and additional information not provided before you started designing because they've decided to either change the rules of engagement or their mind.
Such was the case with this project. The client said "The board loved your ideas. They thought they were very professional. But..."
The only word worse then "Board" is "But." What comes after "But" is never anything you want to hear and this was no exception.
The board had now decided they wanted a more corporate approach. A mark that was not integrated with the type. They explained their desire to see some form of "Crystals" but didn't want "Ice Crystals." They also explained their new found penchant for hexagons as well and asked if I could do something with that shape?
Corporate, Crystals and Hexagons oh my! I had struck out in my first design at bat.
None of this new criteria was explained in my creative brief and was outside the scope of the original agreement so I informed them I'd have to charge an additional fee above and beyond my quote since this new criteria was not provided up front. They agreed.
So even though I was a bit bummed that my Polar Bears and Penguins would now go into deep freeze I still held hope knowing I had another at bat coming on this project.
I choked up on the lumber and continued.
Crystal Concept 1.
To be completely honest I had no idea why they wanted crystals? The client spent about ten minutes explaining to me how ice crystals were actually a bad thing in refrigeration. So I had questioned the wisdom of pursuing crystals as a graphic language on this project but they insisted.
This is the type of direction you get from a committee.
Crystal Concept 2.
At this point I wasn't feeling too confident in my work but kept working out as many crystal inspired directions as I could. "After all they were paying for it." I told myself several times.
Crystal Concept 3.
Maybe they realize a new growth demographic in the "New Age" movement in regards to refrigeration? Bad designer, get back to work and stop questioning authority.
Hexagon Concept 1.
Hexagons-O-Plenty! See how clever I am, I made them stack to form the letter "A."
Hexagon Concept 2.
The client asked if I could make the hexagon shapes interconnect in some way to relay how they can network systems.
Repeat to self: I am not an extension of my clients arm, I am a creative person.
A Simple Approach.
At this point I was a bit frustrated with this project. I decided to put a donut ring on my conceptual bat and take some practice swings to loosen up. I had to hit this next one good. A frozen rope if you will. The pitch looked like a beach ball as the idea popped into my head so I worked out this last concept and included it with the new batch of logo designs to send off.
Fast forward three weeks and I finally get a truncated email from the client explaining the board loved the new directions, but (Our friendly word making it's second appearance in this project) has decided to shelf the logo project because they have other things they need to focus on right now instead. They asked me to bill for the work done.
I doubt they'll return so I billed them my full rate since I did everything short of the final art.
I had high hopes for my second at bat on this project but once it again it looks like I struck out? It's times like these I feel like I am in a creative slump or should be sent back down to the minors. But since I am a player manager in this written analogy I at lease don't need to fear being released.
Original Logo.
The above is the companies actual logo at the time of the original post. Whether or not it went through board approval I have no idea?
The Final Board Approved Logo Solution.
It's been about seven months since the original post and someone notified me of the final logo this company settled on. Can't say it surprises me at all based on their comments while working with them myself. They got exactly what they wanted I guess.
I thought I had some good ideas going, felt like I was hitting the ball well in batting pratice and would get a hit with one of the options but in the end I struck out twice and thus my design batting average has suffered.
Not sure what I could have done differently? Is there such a thing as design steroids? Perhaps a Barry Bonds filter for my drawing application? (OK, so I fouled out with those jokes.)
I do know I'll have other at bats soon so I am not too worried. How ever part of me thinks this board threw me some spitballs.
At the very least I have a cool Polar Bear and Penguin logo in my design line up now and if the opportunity arises I'll definitely do some creative pinch hitting with them.
Much like the boys of summer, my main motivation is the love of the game.

jeezus h, this is the stuff of nightmares. truly a perfect example of why I hate design as a career. it's the only industry where the work and project outcomes of a highly skilled, sophisticated expert are directed and decided upon by people who have absolutely no knowledge whatsoever about the features, technical requirements or skillset for the success of the project.
my deepest condolences. thanks for sharing this idealest of examples of this phenomenon in action. it will serve as a talking point for me for years to come, I'm sure.

Great post, Von. It's good to know that even those who have terrific talent still hit the corporate buzz-saw.
I suspect that if the normal routines follow, the polar bears and penguins will be adorning many H&AC company vans in the future. ;-) Slap 'em with suits, baby!
I ran into something similar recently. It was for an engineering company. That have this weak, poorly spaced, garish Galliard Italic logo now that they apparently LOVE. Our company came up with no less than 10 good solutions, including 3 or 4 of my own. These were the first ones I thought had a real shot at being used as a company logo (I have a couple of product logos out there - but even those have been bastardized. But each was really different, I thought really well executed, well thought out and even bore in mind potential ad campaigns that could be drawn from it. Similarly, despite being strong solutions, I struck out, too.
Good thing was that the owners of my company really liked what I did and said they would definitely have put them in the portfolio if the company had used them, but they don't want to put something that hasn't actually been used in there. :-(
So anyway, thanks for sharing that strikeouts happen, even in the majors.

Holy shit, Von, the variations. Like you say, at least they're solutions in the bank now.
Hearing the word "Board" makes me want to pick up a board and... well, I've said too much.
- Friday, July 25, 2008
- Chris Harrison said...
Your concepts looked amazing... It sucks when things shift to "Design by Committee"... Honestly, the original logo was most likely designed by someone either on or related to someone on the "board".
There's no accounting for good taste. At least they paid you for your efforts.

Oh Von... I hurt for you.
DBC as I like to call it (Design by Committee) (or is it Chimps?) is the arch enemy of creativity. It never ceases to amaze me how willing people are to hire a proven expert in a given field, then persist in trying to control their expertise.
If a man had a tumor in his abdomen, he would find the best surgeon around and have him operate on it. He would look at his track record. He would talk to past patients. He would research his background, etc. Then he would let the doctor do his d-word job.
It is unfathomable to think of this man having localized anesthetic for the procedure, so he could be awake the entire time and talk the surgeon through it... tell him what he wants done... how he thinks it would be better to suture using this or that method. INSANE.
The analogy might be a little extreme, and I might be a little sensitive to your plight... but the idea of a company--who obviously has NO success in the creativity department--giving an award-winning, highly sought-after, creative professional advice about their work has always been crazy to me.
I'm all for working "together" to come up with solutions that both can enjoy and feel like they can get behind and push. But there comes a time when a SMART company run by smart business people will let a professional do the job that none of them are qualified to do.
Would they hover over their IT consultant as he wired up their network? Actually, some of these guys probably would.
It's hard to hit a home run when the pitcher decides to throw a ping pong ball, a rubber hose, then a frozen turkey at you... instead of a baseball. They never really wanted to see how good of a hitter you were. They only wanted to pay for the opportunity to watch you swing.
IMO... this is your best one... http://www.floatingbanana.com/artbackwash/AD3.gif

Not sure what I could have done differently?
Based on the approved logo design, the only thing you could have done differently was be the teenaged nephew of the CEO.
Or, possibly, his teenaged paramour.

I wish this were the extreme and not the norm. I feel for you buddy. This crap happens to all of us.
Here's what you do now; take that art and change the name to their competitor and sell it to them at a "discounted" rate. haha.
At least you billed and they paid. I've seen the same story a million times EXCEPT the client rolled out without paying.

von, I so appreciate this post! it's nice to know that super experienced and successful people strike out too! in my (so far) short design career of two years I have already experienced the 'design by committee'and it felt really terrible. question: what do you have in your contract that prevents them from going ahead and using any part of the designs that you presented? - lisa

- Jean Kelleher said...
I love how you managed to get the penguin to turn into a letter form, great manipulation. It's too bad that the board didn't appreciate the friendly animals and went for something colder... pun intended. The actual logo is a disappointment after seeing your concepts.
- Saturday, July 26, 2008
- Janet said...
Wow. If none of the designs you presented here appealed to them, I don't think anything will. I feel your pain as I've dealt with this many times. I love these ideas and I love the character ideas. I hope they're able to live somewhere besides your harddrive someday.

You're a nice guy for not making fun of their actual logo, man.

Great post Von. Thanks for sharing your design process and the realities of getting blindsided by a "DBC". This is just one more instance that further proves a camel is a horse designed by committee.
- Sunday, July 27, 2008
Wonderfully horrible story. It's sad how many of us this happens to. I have a question. I work for a new design company that didn't have a good "creative brief" when I came on. Do you know of some good resources I can get a hold of to come up with one?

That the Vonster gets hit with this crap is like watching Superman bleed. It's wroooooong!!!!!
Mate, respect and thanks for being vulnerable. Do NOT take their criticism personally. I hope you billed them for every minute!!

- Vonster said...
Superman? (Rolls eyes) Is that kind of like Germany's fascination with the Hoff? I look horrible in tights BTW.
I am just a designer like everyone else. This kryptonitic type of client unfortunately is a universal scourge for all of us to lament over I am sorry to say.
In regards to creative briefs I prefer "Fruit of the Loom." Seriously though, I derived mine from others I found available from larger firms online or ones I worked with before. I took what I thought was the best info from each and bred my own.
- Sunday, July 27, 2008
Great posting. I recently finished a project with a "board" and had some similar challenges, though it wasn't nearly as extreme. It really goes to show that it takes a client with taste and vision to create our best work. Personally, I loved your polar bear logo.

Hi Von,
I too totally feel for you in this. It has happened to me especially in dealing with startup businesses, and not for profits.
One question, do you fear any reprisal from the company for your writeup? While they may not check your blog themselves, I have avoided identifying customers in my blogging for fear that someone would find my post while searching for the company and let the officers of the company know about it. I guess I just hate taking chances.... Your thoughts?
- Tuesday, July 29, 2008
- Vonster said...
All though it might be painful to read, nothing I said was slanderous or attacking. Maybe a touch sarcastic I suppose.
In my opinion they just have too many people involved and will never find a well crafted solution if that doesn't change.
So if my blog post in some way helps them realize that great. If they just get offended than they probably have bigger issues to deal with.
They were nice enough to deal with and unlike some clients I've had paid for everything in a very timely manner, but in the end nothing I did was good enough for them?
Live and learn.

From my experience this is a Base On Ball. You didn't get hit by the pitch. You did everything right. You may not have ever got a good pitch to hit. I know you fouled a few off and it felt like you were getting close to connecting. From the stand we all can see that you've got the stuff that has kept you in the big leagues this long. The fans still ooh and ah, even when you swing and miss. But you didn't strike out. You played it smart. You went up to the plate batting .350 and you finished the day just the same.
Perhaps they just weren't ready for a new logo. Perhaps they realized that they didn't have the budget to implement. In the corporate world it could have been that there was never buy-in from the board to begin with.
My only concern would be your future logo clients. I wouldn't want to be the subject of your blog in anything less than a successful case study.

I love all of your concepts but especially the polar bear.
How you kept your cool with these people and kept your creative motivation is a mystery to me but it's a feather in your cap Von.
I'm so glad you posted this to your blog but the jewel in the crown is that you showed their current logo at the end.
That was priceless:)

Oh Dear God! *sighs* The final logo was an inside job I bet. Son, daughter, nephew.... I think what happened was that they didn't really know what they wanted.
But hey, they paid for the work you had done thus far, so that's really all that matters. ^_^.
Happy Designing!
- Wednesday, July 30, 2008
Really? Are you serious? They prefer their 12 year old photoshop piece of crap over those? That is just common stupidity among business, if it isn't broke don't fix it. I personally like the second one with the polar bear looking down A LOT. That is just a good solid design.
- Thursday, July 31, 2008
i think you presented them with just too many choices. looking at their website, which looks web 0.1 i must say that your logo design would not have fit into that kind of outdated look as well. maybe they are too backwards to could accept a fresher look. take it cool, it is just a logo ;-)
- Sunday, August 03, 2008
- Vonster said...
Dr. Bronzp,
Their site was also changing too. It's not what is or was currently up when I first posted this to my blog.
But that may indeed be part of the reason in that a site should follow a logo and branding not vice versa.
- Sunday, August 03, 2008
- Josh (musarter) said...
First off I agree with your design related comments. I also feel your pain. That kind of situation is so frustrating.
Your round one designs were exceptional. I would say, it is not you it is them; They must have terrible taste and/or not know what they want. I cannot work with people who have no idea what they want; it is a recipe for disaster or a strike out.
They desperatelly need to change their logo. There current one is obviously supper low-budget and many clients will recognize it as being hideous. No one wins with the current outcome.
- Monday, August 04, 2008
- Christy said...
The logo that is on their website (current I just looked) is well, horrible. Honestly I can not even relate the odd rectangles to well, not even a blower fan blade. Very sad. I hit this very 'wall' once as an on-staff web designer asked to step in and 'assist' marketing with a new brand identity. The ultimate choice was one the marketing intern design via an online logo generation piece of software. It looked a lot like this logo. But they were also the same board who wanted the logo "bigger" on every website they owned so I was not surprised. This one is a no brainer and you shouldn't feel bad at all. Oh, and they paid you, which I am actually very surprised by. The approved logo says differently to me.
- Wednesday, August 06, 2008
- Terry said...
Are you serious? THAT'S what they ended up with? But that's exactly what happens with design-by-committee projects---what starts out as a thoughtful, great looking design is dumbed down down to something so uninspired, unrecognizable, and possibly not even something you want to claim! And that's the part that just stabs you in the heart...
But hey, at least you got paid, and still came out with some cool work for your portfolio. Screw the fact that it wasn't used---that's the client's problem!
BTW Von, I really enjoy your commentary on the Freelance Radio podcast!
- Tuesday, August 12, 2008
- Vonster said...
The final logo in the post is what they have at the moment of this post. They decided to keep that instead of moving forward with a re-branding?
They were nice enough about everything it's just dissapointing for obvious reasons.
Thanks for the Freelanceswitch comment. It's a fun podcast to be part off. I listen to them but I always get irritated with my own voice. Ugh.
- Tuesday, August 12, 2008
When this happens to me (design by committee) my first reaction is a stream of expletives (muttered to myself, of course) followed by intense apathy and disinterest in the project at hand.
Hard to be cordial and smile in situations like this but what are you gonna do?
Thanks for posting that Von...
- Thursday, August 14, 2008
I would love to be able to show this entry to prospective clients and point out the good and bad, the what-not-to-dos and why etc.
But I know – and you all know – that there are loads of clients and committees where it just wouldn't register. Or they wouldn't believe they would be that kind of client.
*sigh* we feel your pain.

Mahalo for sharing your this logo design experience - how wonderful that you've turned something "disappointing" into something beautiful and helpful to others! You've reminded me that it is often not the final output that is the "work of art" but the entire project as a whole :)
Aloha to you!

Hi Von, I came across your Blog thru google images search. I am making a logo for my brother, incorporating a penguin and wanted to see what was already out there, as to avoid making something really cliche/ corny? (Not saying your logos fell into that category by any means).
Your logos, I thought, were all very "Fresh", it's really a shame they did not go with any of them.
I was very curious to see what they are currently using, so I googled the company name.
Have you seen their updated logo? It is out-of-this-world. Very...... detailed. It is the shape of that crystal /snowflake that they wanted, but the center looks like a small "planet Earth" and connecting the crystals are little networking arrows....???
At least, that is what it looks like to me--- I was kind of at a loss for words when I saw it.
Check it out :0o

I hate when people go with the ugliest possible option. I thought most of your designs were very clean, classy, & would scale well. I'm a fan of everything prior to the hexagon concepts & I think those are fine but they just don't fit with what the company does to me.
Do people have no taste or do I have warped sense of what looks nice? It seems like the more curly cues (and glitter) the better for the average joe - puke.
Ever consider offering your penguin for use promoting Linux open source software under a attribution license of some sort? Your logo is way better looking than the bloated penguin that is used half the time.

- Mitch said...
I feel for you Von. It reminds me of a talk that Debbie Millman did. Her firm, Sterling Brands, was working with a corporate client that wanted a "drastic rebrand".
Sterling provided many options of just that, entirely different and new directions of their look. Each revision seemed to incorporate something from the old look.
After many revisions and conversations, they discovered that "drastic rebrand" meant something entirely different to the client. All they -really- wanted was a new shade of blue.
The new question; how much change are you really looking for?

- star-momma said...
This frightens me, I won't lie... but it's always fascinating to see how someone else deals with going through that. Some days you want to tear your hair out and swear and... well, some days you *do* that. But this is a great entry on how to just move on - even when the client makes some really bad calls.

Just be warned that they grey is *much* lighter and with a baby blue undertone in real life
everything was great about this rug - except the color. i took a chance because no one had commented on the color of the cream rug. the lighter ivory trellis color was fine, but the darker color looked gold or yellowish. It reminded me of urine. Returned immediately! was looking for a more beige/greige color.
I gave this four stars only because it does have a tendency to shed. And by that I mean that about once a week, it pills up a bit and needs a vacuum run over it. Otherwise, this rug is perfect!
I ordered this rug for a bedroom that has taupe and cream walls, and cream colored bedding. I wanted an area rug that was modern yet still classic. Perfect. Love the color and design!
This rug is a great color! I got purple b/c I love modern design patterns and colorful decor. It looks great under my dining table. I love the design, color, the size, everything about it. Perfect!
Excellent product and meets all our needs and expectation!
I love this rug and really don't want to return it, but it doesn't go with my color scheme. I ordered the "Rust" color, hoping the orange was a reddish orange. In reality, it's like a lighter version of the Texas Longhorns color. (Google "hex color cc7700".) Sort of an orange ochre. It's a pity because everything else about this rug is great.
I ordered the grey and it is absolutely beautiful. It looks a bit grayish, silvery, light blue. It was perfect for our entry because I wanted hints of silvery blue. The rug is thick and soft and adds a bit of class. I absolutely love it! My only issue with Overstock is the shipping. I have had two out of three products lost or delayed. This rug was a bit delayed but worth the wait.
Nice thickness and design! It sheds! ...still...it's been almost 6 months...we purchased in "rust" and are pleased with the color, however, it sheds so much, as though we had red haired cats (yes multiple cats) :)...we don't vacuum too often as its only me and my husband in the house...I hope this stops soon :/
This rug is amazing quality. The blue is very vibrant and does not shed. Gorgeous!

text: Visited Manchurian Legends on a rainy afternoon in January and it certainly offered food to warm the cockles! An authentic atmosphere persuaded us to choose items not normally seen on a standard Chinese restaurant menu, including spicy barbecued meat skewers and shredded pork (rather than shredded duck). The dumplings we had to start were delicious, as were the lamb skewers (as recommended by Time Out) and the shredded pork is certainly a good option, even if the pancakes look unconventional (still not sure what these were made of). Overall, it was a reasonable price for a Chinatown experience with a difference and I will certainly return.

I've posted a new blog post over at my site, detailing how to get a human readable error message out of WCF services in Silverlight. So, instead of being told 'NotFound' for every issue that occurs, you will actually see that you've got permission issues, or missing file issues.
I've just posted a new article about how to get the DigiBlue camera to work for stop motion animation in Ubuntu Linux.
As the DigiBlue cameras are very Windows oriented, I decided to try and get one to work in a similar fashion in Ubuntu. Sadly, the process isn't quite as fluid but it is a lot more flexible as there are a plethora of software packages available for stop motion editing and video editing, some being ultra-simple (Luciole), others being more complex (Cinelerra).
Version 1.2 is now available. It now includes SSH, SFTP, Telnet, 'Run' and customisable choice of VNC Viewer.
Available for download from here.

Lore...nice video...super articulate and easy to follow.
By the way: As a general note you can permanently keep the max distance associated with that macro command by typing the following
/script SetCVar("cameraDistanceMax", 25)
/script SetCVar("cameraDistanceMaxFactor", 2)
That way you don't have to keep hitting your macro. Just type that once and you're good.

Title: Good Costume
Date: Apr 18, 2013
My little girl loved this costume. She wore it for her Abby Cadabby themed party. The only issue was the velcro on the back of the costume. It needed to be spaced out farther so that the wings did not bend while being worn.

Title: Perfect for budding Abby fan
Date: Aug 23, 2012
My (very tall!) 20 month old is 36" tall so I ordered the Toddler 3/4 size and it's a perfect fit. She loves Abby so this was the perfect Halloween costume for her. As soon as it was removed from the packaging, she grabbed it and repeatedly screamed "Abby!!" in excitement. So much so, she wouldn't allow me to actually put it on her since she was holding and admiring it. The wings stayed on just fine for our 45 minute trial run and the pom poms are adorable. Also purchased the wand which is sturdy and looks better than I expected (pics made me uncertain of quality). Overall, this will be a hit for mini Abby fans. Enjoy!

Overall this is a decent product for the price. I ordered the 24m for my 3yo basing the decision on the measurements provided which I would say are accurate with regards to height. The ruffle around the neck is VERY scratchy and bothers her. I might end up having to remove it if she doesn't wear a turtleneck under it.
Reviews i read before purchase complained about the wings being flimsy and falling down, but ours are fine and don't sag down.

Hulu sucks. I'm about an hour from the US here. WNEB is a Buffalo/Toronto station. I can watch US Television just with a regular aerial and without cable... but somehow watching the mainstream prime-time shows on the Internet is something they want to stop? Dumb.
Anyway... :)
For folks outside the US, let's imagine the video is *this one*:
In which case, YES there should be more RPGs like that. ;)

The Round Rock Public Library presents the Cash for College program from 4:30 to 8:00 p.m. every Thursday and 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. every Sunday during tax season. This free program from Foundation Communities offers help with Financial Aid for college.
If you're a senior in high school, college is surely on your mind: what college should I go to? How many should I apply to? And of course…how will I pay for it?
The first place seniors in high school and current college students should start is with the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In addition to helping you fill out the FAFSA, the Cash for College program can help answer questions about college and financial aid and can provide scholarship resources and tips. Come on by for free help!
Not a senior in high school yet? That's okay. The Cash for College program can help you start planning even if you're in middle school or a freshman, sophomore or junior in high school. Get started and get an idea of what to expect and how to prepare. You can even do a "Forecaster," a sample FAFSA that will estimate how much federal aid you would be eligible for today if you were about to enter college.
Over 18? We can help! We love seeing adults going back to school! Whether you have questions about getting into college or how to get your GED, we can help you with financial aid and even offer additional resources for adult students returning to school.
Parents are welcome, too!

This week is a week to remember in Illinois gay history. On Tuesday, the Illinois House passed the civil union legislation and on Wednesday the Senate with a narrow victory voted to legalize it.
When Gov. Pat Quinn signs the legislation, it will become a new law but the opposition to the new law is still there.
Governor Pat Quinn said Wednesday he will sign Senate Bill 1716, which creates civil unions and passed the state Senate on a 32-24 vote. "I think this is a proud day for the people of our state," Quinn told reporters in his office after the vote. "It's everybody in and nobody left out."
But Don Blasing, the current president of the Evangelical Ministerial Association of Greater Peoria has a different opinion "We feel it violates the Biblical standards God established for human relationships and marriage"
Personally I believe we are on the right path to equality and it is a step in the right direction. The law will give gay couples some of the same rights as heterosexual couples have, including health insurance to the partner of a gay employee in a civil union. Unfortunately, we would not be able to file joint federal tax returns because the federal government does not recognize civil unions as a real marriage.
I hope this will change in time, This is a new era for the state of IL, an era of prosperity, growth and acceptance . We are moving forward toward freedom and equality. There is nothing more beautiful then seeing two people in love regardless of their color, race or sexuality.

There were top ten times in British GP qualy for Daniil Kvyat and Jean-Eric Vergne while Marussia secured their best Saturday result to date...
Toro Rosso:
Daniil Kvyat: "We were fighting for really high positions today, but then towards the end we made the decision not to go out anymore. At that time it seemed to be the right decision because it was hard to imagine that anyone would have improved times because it had rained quite a lot and track conditions were tricky out there. But anyway, this is the way it is and in the end, P9 and P10 are good positions to start the race from. We will definitely fight hard tomorrow!"
Jean-Eric Vergne: "It was a good qualifying session today, at least until towards the end when we made a mistake in deciding not to go out again for one last run and improve our position. I don't really know why but it's a fact that all the others went out again and improved as expected. It's a shame as we had a good car to fight for a higher position in the ranking, and it's disappointing also considering that along the weekend we have consistently been quicker than some of the cars that will be in front of us on the grid tomorrow. Let's stay positive and think that P9 and P10 are anyway good enough to hope for a good race tomorrow."
Lotus F1:
Romain Grosjean: "It was a good session for me despite the tricky weather conditions here today - certainly the rain was good for my garden! Q1 was tricky, but fortunately we used slick tyres at the right time. Unfortunately in Q2 I had a yellow flag in turn six otherwise I think that I would have been through to Q3. The car felt good in qualifying compared to the rest of the weekend and that is quite important for us. Everyone did a good job, worked very hard and now the car is where I like it to be. I hope that tomorrow it will be the case again and we can go from there and push as hard as we can to score points."
Pastor Maldonado: "We had a lack of fuel during the second qualifying session which meant I had to stop the car out on track. The team are investigating to find out what happened as otherwise the car felt good and we had a strong opportunity to be in the top ten. The pace was certainly there this morning and the car was doing what I wanted it to do. We had a good strategy through the difficult weather conditions today so naturally I'm a bit disappointed with where we ended up on the grid. Now the focus is to get the best result possible in tomorrow's race."
Jules Bianchi: "A fantastic day for the Team and I'm so happy for everyone. After our first points in Monaco, it's great that we have now achieved the Team's best ever qualifying result. Today's situation was not easy and so this result is down to a combination of great strategy, judging the changing conditions to perfection and then just making the most of the windows we had out on the track when the conditions were right for the tyres. It was a real gamble, but we had everything to gain from taking some risks, so for the last run we put the slicks on even though the track was right at the limit. I had a really good lap and then the Yellow flags came out for Gutierrez's spin. Had we not encountered these I could have improved for sure and who knows what might have happened then. I'm just really happy to achieve this result at the Team's home race and anything is possible from where we will start on the grid tomorrow. I will try my best to make the most of every opportunity."
Max Chilton: "The Team has done an incredible job today, making some fantastic calls and putting us right where we needed to be at exactly the right time. I'm really thrilled with P13 but the reality is, had it not been for the Yellow for Gutierrez, we could have ended up even higher as in those damp conditions you put a banker in and then do your quick lap at the end. Obviously I've got the five place penalty for this morning's gearbox change, which will drop me back, but a good qualifying session was what I needed because of that penalty, and that is what we've achieved, so I can't be disheartened. It's a fantastic feeling to have had such a good qualifying in front of the British fans and I can't wait for the race now. I'm ahead of the Caterhams and maybe similar conditions will be what we need to progress because we're very strong under pressure, as we've shown."
Esteban Gutierrez: "We had a very good strategy. I think the conditions were pretty difficult as the weather was very inconsistent all the time. On my last lap I got caught up by a faster car behind. I was trying to push as much as I could. Unfortunately, I lost the car and hit the wall. We were both on our fast lap and I was trying to finish mine as well as possible."
Adrian Sutil: "Unfortunately, I made a mistake today. As I went off the track, I did not notice that the preceded corner was very wet. I lost the rear of the car and got stuck in the gravel trap. It is a shame as I was in ninth and therefore had made it into the second qualifying session, but could not participate. The conditions were tricky for all of us. As the car was difficult to drive and as we were on the limit, those mistakes can easily happen."

When your baby is ready for the new world of walking, this sturdy stroller is ready to lend support. The wide base and easy-grasp handle help steady her first steps, while adorable stroller styling encourages early role play and nurturing.
See the wiggly bear riding on the stroller handle? Your baby can press its tummy for musical rewards, or enjoy fun activities with this toy stroller's spinners, roller bar and flipbook.
Bought as a Christmas present for my granddaughter - easily assembled, looks great, activity playthings on it are lovely - and have bought the first Fisher Price Doll to sit in it ! Great walker and stroller !
This is a good sturdy walker. It offers confidence for those first wobbly steps.
This product is age appropriate. It is rare to find items like this that are suitable for children under 36 months.
This product was bought for my 1 year old niece. A very nice product for the age group but I do think for the price the doll should be included. We had to buy that on top.
Very sweet and girlie. My little Granddaughter loves it. Livvy is 16months old and it is perfect for her age group. It is very sturdy and does not tip up easily. The little interactive teddy is a lovely touch. The only down side I can see is she will grow out of it in about 12 months but she will have loads of fun with it until then.
