Pocket Revolutionary

I tested out the new bing.com “decision engine” with a good ol’ fashioned vanity search for “Jeremy Greenawalt”. You cannot imagine my horror to see that the #8 result is this site with the words “Animated Logo designed and created by: Jeremy Greenawalt”. I will go on the record right now to any future clients and say “It’s not me”. I’m sure he’s a nice person. I feel bad knowing that my site is at the top of the list of “Jeremy Greenawalt” responses in Google and he would probably find this post in his own vanity search, but I must disavow this logo right now. I’m not sure I can legally send a cease and desist order over his name as a “designer of spinning logos”, but my lawyers are working on it right now and I will keep you apprised.

What do you do when you’re brain has been turned to steak tartare by debugging and you’re feeling punchy? You abuse Illustrator into creating a special “3 am” logo for an internal app. In this case, the app is our internal backend for FishCart built using CakePHP which I have, of course, named FishCake. I show this only to publicly state my profound appreciation of graphic designers– e.g. the folks who would never make a logo this ugly no matter how sleep-deprived they may be.
