Since hanging out with graphic designers, I’ve discovered the world of “wordmarks” (which is a company logo that is text-only). One well known example of a wordmark is Google. Doodle 4 Google, is a competition that invited school students to play around with the logo under the theme “what I wish for the world”. The finalist designs are online and the winner is being revealed on the home page tomorrow (21 May 2009). It turns out that there is a “doodle team” at Google who develops the themed illustrative logos that we often see celebrating different days and events – man, I want that job!
