Look up. See the guy with the parachute and briefcase flying into this blog? That’s me. Or, at least, my blog’s new logo!
So shankman.com got a new logo last week. (Before Chris Brogan launched his, I might add.) Mega-props to Idesignyourlogo for it, by the way.
The reasons? I felt it was time. The old logo came before HARO, before my speaking career took off, even before the original book came out. So I felt that it didn’t address who I was anymore. The new one is much slicker and sleeker, and i think it really “gets” who and what I represent.
By the way, I like Chris’s logo too! It’s definitely him. That’s the point of any logo, right? To represent correctly what it’s showing?
I want your feedback. Go.
PS: I wrote this post in Whole Foods, on my iPad. OK, OK. I really do like it.

I think the biggest issue is I had no idea that was a briefcase (I would have guessed iPad) until you told us in your post. :) |

Love it! |

Your logo is much more directly relevant to you. Seeing it, I see a bit about you. I love it, love the colors, and think the execution is well done. Rock it hard. |

The concept is amusing. The execution is not well done. Sorry, but I’ve worked with award winning graphic designers for 30 years and this just doesn’t stand up. |

Hi Peter, |
|
|
Love the red typeface and font. Bold. Not so sure about the red parachute though. Looks a bit like a cloud with veins. The important thing is you like it! |

Execution is too childish for someone of your stature. Looks like clip art from Word. The guys at the logo site have some nice work there, but this is sub par. |
