- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Sorry to all who don't like this article. It wasn't my intention for it to be on Digg. Feel free to skip it.
- ezkiel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"indirect spam for a christian web site"
or not. if it was IBM or apple would it still be indirect spam?
pretty much all logos represent something.
there are too many idiots on digg. they should do an age check and let you block anyone younger than 16. or 18. or whatever. - CaughtThinking, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No Digg, in the world of amateurs this guy is a member. I would go Digg-- if I could. The way to not get readership is to try to impose a browser on them.
- mockstar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Has anyone ever had a go at Digg for the "Digg effect" ? - it's amazingly harsh sometimes
- Svenson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0terrible article. NO DIGG
- aspirinetu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0drawing a good logo
just get a few pixel-based fonts rotated and overlapped and that's it
the end - Henwood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Nice link to digg.com, no story.
- Gatesophile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh man, that sucked. Just the redirecting part, but I agree, if I was in his position, and all y'all (not southern. lol) decided to kill my site, I would sure as fisuck (yes, fisuck) redirect anybody and everybody from digg... unless it was like a tech article on my site you guys were going to, then I MIGHT let you guys through.
- motorbikematt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This article is terrible, how on earth it is getting this many diggs is beyond me.
Everyone SHOULD read this one:
http://digg.com/design/How_to_Improve_Your_Logo - alexander000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0ummmm, he didn't draw anything.
he essentially copied an idea from someone else's logo he liked.
designers need to realize a pencil is the ultimate design tool,
not that beeping box next to your desk. - weirdone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0nice article, just shows how he came to the logo, not other people's approaches. Agreed that it looks a bit too much like enron/GC though.
- splitsixty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0a graphic artists' dream, a blog that substitues for college!
digg - inotocracy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Definetely a good example of ways to come up with a unique logo. +digg
- DietrichM, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Server seems to be down for me.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0gotroot11 - Come visit me in Boise, Idaho. Send me an email, and I'll meet you somewhere.
- mockstar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yeah... that was a bit disappointing :-(
- gotroot11, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0refusing digg trafic, someone needs to be punched in the face.
- RMuffin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0They redirected it back to Digg... what the heck?
- Eaglefire, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Well at least it beats that coffee-stain logo fad a few years back
- thecoolestcow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://sonspring.com.nyud.net:8090/journal/drawing-a-good-logo
- raptorGT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I just tried http://sonspring.com/journal/drawing-a-good-logo/index.php in an alternate browser with no sessions running or connections established from it and the page loaded just fine...
- sabre307, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How the hell did this many people digg this story when the link just bounces you to the digg home page???
- FuzzyOnion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0When I try to go to it, it send me back to digg.
- cyberfelon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The article isn't bad, but the title "Drawing a Good Logo" is a very poor choice. It made me expect a proper guide on making an effective logo, but all I got was an isolated example for a particular style of site.
- riot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0they are refussing digg.com traffic ... change your refere to something else ...
or copy and paste the link into a new tab - kderby2000, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@nathansmith
Why is digg traffic being rerouted? - glin007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Bad digg. Page doesn't even work. Another Crap on digg.
- jpesicka2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0no digg, different article, but yours has know is redirected to digg
http://digg.com/design/How_to_Improve_Your_Logo - NejiKun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't believe that this article really gave any specific information on "Drawing a Good Logo". It may have detailed the process on how to draw that Godbit logo, but it's definetly not a guide for everyone to use and follow.
- DietrichM, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Working again :p
- mike_p, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Dugg into the grave...
- felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Oh my god, finally an article about logos that actually gets something right...
- en3r0, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1This is a good read. +digg

http://virtenu.com - Haplo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Yes, that's their way to say fck off dig users. Pathetic.
Just copy the link location: http://sonspring.com/journal/drawing-a-good-logo
and paste it in a new window. They just do a lame referer check. If they don't want the extra traffic, why not just return a forbidden.

http://johnbokma.com/ - stuntant, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0um this is very simular to the band Engine Down's logo enginedown.com
I was hoping for a lot more from this. - smhill, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0"Note to self, check link before digging... that sucked."
Agreed.
Branding is far more than that. Though it is an interesting study, it isn't great and certainly mistitled. - nickzee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0... can someone remake intel's logo
- sausagecat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Amateur article, based on nothing at all!
- hiway7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0His example looks too much like the Nintendo Gamecube logo or Enron.
- cdharrison, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Wouldn't you block referrer traffic if your server got overwhelmed a couple of times by users that don't fit your site's audience?
Digg is great and all, but it negatively effects a lot of sites because of the traffic this site generates. I applaud Nathan, and I fully expect to see more sites doing this in the future. - DJSdotcom, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Go 9rules members!!!!!
- ezkiel, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1"who does this perv hang out with that so many seem to think of 69 when they see a "gb" ?"
Mabye you are just slow but 'gb' are opposites as far as typeface goes. Which is compared to YinYang which looks like a 69. Who even mentioned the sexual aspect of 69 its just a number that people younger than 16 laugh at.
69 omg hahaha penis hahahahaha this is t00 funneh. AOL ROX! - spyres, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Article was poor in every way.
- Xopl, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Note to self, check link before digging... that sucked.
- Wogna, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0^ hahaha nice
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Please justify that ridiculous logo!
- illegal_op, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0It's a good example and a good read.

- MartyMcFly, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0LOGO IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR HIS CONTENT!!!
- Inkling, on 10/12/2007, -4/+0It's just christian propoganda, skip it.
