My interview on The Logo Mix design blog.

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of being interviewed for one of the up and coming logo design inspiration sites and blogs, The Logo Mix. It’s nice to be recognized in the logo design industry as a guy that spills his guts about the process and somehow makes it interesting, eh? Anyway, I’m always happy to give back. Please give it a read.

Chinablue print campaign

Here’s a print campaign we did for client Chinablue, a creator of Shanghai-influenced, gourmet stir-frys, dressings and sauces. It went primarily to the trade publications, but didn’t necessarily need to look like it. This campaign included custom photography of each specific dish, beautifully shot and styled by food photographer, Laurie Vogt. Copywriting by Ellen Shakespeare.

Logo work appearing in the digital-only Trademarks USA

Leighton Hubbell — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 23:50:52 +0000

Just received word today that a total of 13 of my recent logo designs will be appearing in the upcoming 2011 publication of Trademarks USA, by David E. Carter. This is especially exciting because the new volume will be published exclusively online through Amazon, Google Editions and Apple’s iBookstore.This means that instead of a standard hard or softcover edition, they will only be viewable digitally. I am very interested in how this works out. The iPad, Kindle, Nook and the many other soon to be released eBook readers have really changed the publishing world and how we view our content. Apparently, Amazon states that for every 100 softcover books sold, 115 Kindle versions are sold as well. We shall see.

In any case, I am honored to have my work included in this latest edition from David E. Carter. For the last 15 years, his books have dominated the best-seller lists for the category of graphic design and advertising. His compilations of outstanding creative work are among the industry standard.

Very excited to announce my logo work’s inclusion in the debut volume of iheartlogos. This inaugural logo design competition is unique in the fact that the competitors are judges and vice versa.

It’s a very different approach to a design competition and the only one of its kind. These five winners were selected among the many other entries by some very talented logo designers and firms from around the world. I am honored to be among the first to get published in this debut volume.

My selections appear on pages 170, 187, 209, 211 and 227, respectively. You can order yours here.
