TAE Needs a Logo!

[Raúl Ilargi Meijer]

The other day, we received a mail from a reader who offered to create a smartphone app for The Automatic Earth. Great! Wonderful! One thing he mention
[See the full post at: TAE Needs a Logo!]

“A logo that looks as good on a smartphone app as it will inevitably and eventually on a T-shirt, and all other places we can see fit to fit it on.”

Don’t forget the boxer shorts.

It occurs to me that TAE should avoid branding, if you get my drift.

I’m afraid the sample logo attached to the article (perhaps deliberately) looks more like a logo for cheap sneakers than for the wise and compassionate school of inquiry we’ve come to value. Major upgrade required.

I sent this via email as requested, but I thought others might like to comment on my creation:

TAE. Earth. Energy. Finance.

Nice Logos Jerry, my only problem with them is the use of a US coin tends to make TAE appear country specific.

Thanks for your comment. I did consider using a Canadian maple leaf, in honor of I&S homebase, but it just didn’t have the same flair, and in the image I found the lighting was way too flat.

Perhaps you didn’t notice the version of the logo with the image of Europe front and center on the image of the globe, both of which evoke, um, “global”. Besides, wouldn’t it be rather difficult to find a coin that is not “country specific”?

Anyway, I’m glad you liked it. Thanks!
