Recently I ordered an ‘easy to use’* phone from an online retailer…
I didn’t really pay much attention to what I’d ordered beyond the features and the reviews. When the phone arrived I switched it on to be greeted by a logo that looked familiar.
It seems I designed the logo for the company behind the phone that I’d just bought sometime around 2006/07. While the company has rebranded slightly, from TT Sims to TT fone, they kept kept the sim card design created as a part of their original website from way back then.
(I should add whoever converted is has squished it down and lost the slight bevel to card had, 3D was big in design back then you know! Call me biased but I’d say it looked a little better unsquished and beveled 🙂 )
Not the most exciting post perhaps but when you do work for the web you find there isn’t much that stays around all that long, let alone ten years or more. Even though this isn’t perhaps my finest design moment, it was great to see… Though I now also feel old.
*Not for myself I am now fully smartphone equipped, though admittedly it did take me quite a while to come around to them.
ogo design is clearly sometimes an art in itself. I’ve seen the kind of work you get on those “$5’s for a logo with unlimited revisions” websites* and while its not always true you get what you pay for, sometimes it really is.
