    Logo time and that means another round of images to help inspire. UnHampered should make laundry easier and fun. So when designing the logo – let’s think about that. The images below each communicate visually. Try not to be concerned about what the object is, but rather what it is communicating abstractly.

    The first is classified as negative space. How can the removal of material (or in the sense of logos, space between lettering or type itself) become functional, cost effective, and at best poetic?

    The 2nd is about color. In this image there are two colors but the design is still energizing and very interesting. In your design, think about the dominant color choice and what is supporting it and how it can sit as a whole?

    And the 3rd represents structure. How can scale, proportion, and organization express content?

    Evaluation for product 0054 just launched. You may have noticed some sweet changes to the page format…

    And it doesn’t stop there. Ben went into more detail on the new submission/evaluation format a few weeks ago, but I wanted to lay out how exactly these changes will affect our/your weekly schedule.

    MONDAY 11am(ish) EST   idea submission ends, community evaluation launches

    TUESDAY all day   community evaluation

    WEDNESDAY 12noon EST   community evaluation ends, staff evaluation launches

    THURSDAY all day   staff evaluation, deep dive on top ideas

    FRIDAY 3pm(ish) EST   model shop meeting to determine the week’s winner, announcement of Quirky’s next product

    THE WEEKEND tweak ideas for resubmission, treat symptoms of Quirky withdrawal, etc.

    Put simply, you guys will get two days to vote, rate, and comment on the ideas up for eval. Then, our staff will spend time doing a deep dive on the top-voted ideas to identify design potential, market potential, and viability. Each submission will get a score, and those scores will go public once the round ends.

    We good? Good. Now back to voting!
