I have been fortunate enough to work with friend and designer extraordinaire, Garrett Dimon, on a number of projects now. This time I worked on a logo for Sifter, Next Update’s flagship web application, a bug and issue tracker.
As usual, Garrett gave me complete creative latitude to come up with the Sifter logo, with the single constraint of making sure that the style could be applied to and maintained in the identities of web apps created down the road. I decided to tackle an OS X icon style for the logo, an ambitious goal considering I had never done such a thing. I’m pleased with how this logo turned out, and all the painful, tedious and valuable lessons it taught me!
I’ve written more detailed writeup of the logo creation process on my blog.
