Type is still not finalized, but this is pretty close to finished.
The mark is inspired by two-way communication, global reach, waves, coming together, etc. It’s an evolution of the mark I originally designed for flashlightdesign.com, way back in 2003.
The font is Gloriola from fontfont. It’s deliciously modern, with a nice heft.
I’ll be tweaking theblogstudio.com in the next couple of days when we officially launch the logo.
Fuck.
Couldn’t say that on the work site. Really wanted to.
Damn glad the site is back up after a 24 hour outage. Now I can not post again!

How do you feel about your elephant foot umbrella stand now?
Take 18 minutes out of your life to watch this. You’ll be glad you did.
This was the highlight of SxSW for me. After this session, I cornered Merlin and chatted for about 5 minutes. I told him that I don’t generally get excited about meeting “famous” people. But that I was very stoked to meet him. There aren’t many people who can make me laugh quite as consistently as Merlin. His tweets are hilarious and frequent.
Wow. Google sky.
The Blog Studio is adding a Lead Developer to our core team. In the three years or so that we’ve been in business, we’ve worked with a broad range of clients, including Turner Broadcasting, Fox News, Unicef, and 100s more all over the world. In addition to our client work, we’re about to launch a fully funded network of socially driven content sites, designed to compete with the very best on the web.
In order to help us grow, we’re looking to add a full-time lead developer to our core team. This person will work with the project manager and myself on project planning, strategic direction, and implementation.
Our ideal candidate is a master of PHP, with mad skillz in javascript, xhtml and css. Ideally you have experience with CodeIgnitor or other PHP frameworks. We do a lot of work with Expression Engine and WordPress, so experience with those content management systems is a big plus. You should also have some degree of experience setting up and configuring Linux servers.
Although we’re located in Toronto, we’re not super picky about your location. We’d prefer to meet in the same location a couple of times a week, but are willing to be flexible for the right candidate.
On the money front, we offer a competitive salary, extended health if you’re Canadian, and shares in our new media wing.
