DaLand Solutions Logo

With their extensive experience in the credit union industry, DaLand Solutions assists credit unions in in locating and evaluating the optimal service provider for their institution.

They wanted to be seen as innovative, creative, collaborative, while remaining conservative.

The Logo
The trick was getting the 'D' to read before the 'L' (which is very subtle).
Imagine the 'L' overlapping the 'D' in the bottom, left corner. Or seen another way, the bottom, left corner creates somewhat of an 'L'. Either way, I was looking for the 'D' to be most prominent and the 'L' to be secondary. And I think we accomplished that.

Circle. Circle. Dot. Dot. Logos. Logos. Spot. Spot.

So cool! What a great study! See how many "logos" you can recognize! (As is the mark of good work) These are so obvious once you see the answers! I found it helps to squint a bit. Enjoy!

[Semi-Spoiler Alert] Logos I recognized (I tried to avoid the clues, but were occasionally too curious to see what the clue was on maybe 5 of them) were: American Airlines, Apple, TMobile, Subway, Flickr, Bing, BP, Baskin Robins, LG, Twitter, Dunkin Doughnuts, Burger King, Ikea, I thought #30 was H&R Block (it's not)

I think I got these ones right: Cisco, Yahoo (w/ clue), Kelloggs (w/ Clue), KFC, Starbucks, Google, Sprint, Nextel, Master Card, Lego, Onstar, Time Warner Cable, Taco Bell, Cingular, Best Buy, Black Berry, American Express, New York Library, MSN, Fire Fox, Groove Shark, Harley Davidson, Pepsi

Angel's of Grace T-Shirt

For my cousin Diana and little Gracie Lou. Every year Diana and her husband put together a team to participate in the annual Cincinnati Walk for Kids. They and all of their southern Ohioans nearly gave the shirts off thier backs. So Diana and I wanted to make sure that if they did, they'd have a back-up.

Unofficial Logo: Gap

They just got a new logo, but c'mon. It wasn't broke.



A few people have been creating their own. And I, of course had to through my hat in.



I saw this one -- a similar concept to mine I think -- and I really like it! Props Chris! Anyway ... I'd like to see what you think.

Cool Logo: Grupo 8


My father in law recently went to cruise the Mediterranean and sent back a pic of this sign. Pretty slick.

Library of Congress logo: Cool

Sometimes its difficult to not design the obvious solution. That can be tricky to avoid when dealing with pages from a book. Looks like a good animation.
