My Opinion

It is my opinion that in order to get a good design a designer should have a good variety of thumbnails and brainstorming ideas. I notice that once you start brainstorming and thinking of design elements the thumbnails just start adding up and that will give you the opportunity to chose a few of them then start refining them till you get the perfect logo. I have some links posted in my links to help you see the process from start to finish.

More quotes

Visual design is often the polar opposite of engineering: trading hard edges for subjective decisions based on gut feelings and personal experiences. It’s messy, unpredictable, and notoriously hard to measure. The apparently erratic behavior of artists drives engineers bananas. Their decisions seem arbitrary and risk everything with no guaranteed benefit.

Design is the search for a magical balance between business and art; art and craft; intuition and reason; concept and detail; playfulness and formality; client and designer; designer and printer; and printer and public.

People think that design is styling. Design is not style. It’s not about giving shape to the shell and not giving a damn about the guts. Good design is a renaissance attitude that combines technology, cognitive science, human need, and beauty to produce something that the world didn’t know it was missing.
