As for the Webby for Insurance, well, I like the GEICO site, cavemancrib.com. I also like nowwhat.com which happens to be from State Farm.

One logo that had the aha factor for me was the Saturn logo. My mom had one of the first ones and I don’t know how long she own that car before I realized that the logo was Saturn. Duh!</p> That’s great Michele! One logo that had the aha factor for me was the Saturn logo.

My friend in DC had the same moment with the Saturn logo. I almost talked about that one as well. I love those moments. A logo that holds a moment like that <span class="caps">AND</span> includes what the client is looking for is a winner, imo. :]</p> <p>Thanks you guys, for the kind feedback. And, yes, Gina, i do so hate the Verizon logo. In fact, now that they chopped down the tree in the backyard, I can see it from my bed at night on a building in Manhattan. How’s that for irony?</p> You’re not alone, Mel! My friend in DC had the same moment with the Saturn logo. I almost talked about that one as well. I love those moments.

I work in advertising and a lot of designers find the logo process daunting. It’s great that you embrace it. Congratulations!</p> Great logo…I love your description of the process too.
