Guess the Logo
Guess the Logo
Found this cool site today. Pretty fun, the TV logos were the easiest for me. Car logos and the web logos 2 were pretty hard.

Toy Store Sites
So while creating my website for The Toy Store, I thought I should take a look at other toy store websites.
FAO Schwarz
This one is well designed and easily navigable, adults or kids could easily click through the site. You can't do a whole lot on the site except learn about the store, but the way they have that all set up is nice.
Toys R Us
Set up well for a big company that sells a lot online. The Toy Store couldn't really benefit from this kind of design because it is such a smaller company, however, I'm sure there are ways this site could inspire mine.
Wooden Horse Toys
This site is set up pretty much exactly like The Toy Store. It's a little better designed, but is still pretty confusing and not easily navigable. I do like their "Best sellers" and "What's new" categories though.

Logo trends and interesting observation.
I stumbled across this article today on LogoLounge about current trends in logos. Kind of interesting. I really like the concealed logo trend... definitely show that special wink.
Also while working on my project for Type I came across another website that desperately needs redesigned: NHTSA Thought it was kind of funny that we're redesigning websites in graphics and the organization for my type project could benefit.
