I originally had a spray bottle of cleaning solution and did a pastiche type affair, but it didn’t quite work as well as I hoped so the idea of a light bulb came up and here is one of a few – they all have different quotes. The site is so new still, but eventually there will be lots of different themes flashing up randomly on the home page.

Here is number one though!

Since moving to Kintbury, I have designed 3 new logos for bh design, completed 2 redesigns and lost the will. I have also completely redesigned my dating site and taken on 2 redesigns for 2 of my best customers. Is it madness, or is it something in the water? Soph does say the water smells funny…

Anyway, bh design now has a glorious new logo, which I have affectionately called the splodge. It came about by accident really whilst redesigning the one 4 me, I was playing with splodges (there are lots in the design) and I just had an idea to put my current logo type in one and bobs your uncle and all that. We have the new logo as seen below. It was a big decision to redesign it, I was more than happy still with the one designed by a friend of mine a few years ago but I felt like a change, I wanted to push my company into a new direction and felt I needed to do something with it.

Here it is anyway, I would invite you to comment, but you can’t as I have comments turnd off, damn those spam bastards.

I should also mention that there is spangly new website to go with the new logo – please go there now and tell a friend!! www.bh-design.co.uk
