I recently entered this logo into a competition for Agora's new identity. Agora is an Icelandic startup
business in the making. Four designs were selected to take part in their crowd-sourcing experiment.
My logo did not win, but I got second place!

Here you can see Agora's winner.

After buying her yarn, book and dvd I decided to get in touch with her to se if she needed some knitting illustrations for her future books  – and what do you know?! – I ended up designing her logo and hopefully some more will come.

It's been nominated for the 2010 Oscar. Everything in Logorama, the characters, the buildings, even the universe is made up of well known logos, mascots and advertising images. 16 minutes of kick ass brand action if you tell me!

]]>Knitting and knitting illustrationshttp://www.solla.net/blog/2010/1/19/knitting-and-knitting-illustrations.html[Your Name Here]2010-01-19T13:10:46Z2010-01-19T13:10:46Z

My fingers are itching to knit so I ordered some scrumptious yarn online called Nammi (nammi means candy), hand dyed Icelandic laceweight wool, the first Icelandic knitting lessons DVD and a knittng book, also Icelandic, called Prjóniprjón (Knitti-knit).

I am also hoping the knitting will inspire me to draw more knitting instructions. I really would like to draw some step by step illustrations for a knitting howto book.
