To further your journey into the wonderful world of creating identities, I present to you Brand New, a blog that in its own words discusses “opinions, and focusing solely, on corporate and brand identity work.” Groovy. I can’t say I always agree with their breakdown, but they almost always have good background information on the process and reasonings behind the (re)designs. You should by now be able to read their opinions but form your own opinion of the work.
On a related note, I’d also like you to add LogoPond to your design quiver. Basically a design gallery for logos, the site also offers up resources for you to check out. So check it out.
