Designer/ Illustrator Melinda Beck has done a huge favor and created a new logo for Planet Yang. As designers know, you can never have great design without great type. I'm like Salieri when it comes to type. I'm good enough to know great type when I see it, but not good enough to create great type. Here's the conversation that changed my life.
Melinda: Do you see it? Doesn't it drive you nuts?
Me: What are you talking about?
Melinda: The spacing in "Planet Yang". There is too much space between the "Y" and the "a". It's like a huge gaping hole.
Me: Oh yeah.
Melinda: Doesn't it drive you nuts? Doesn't it drive you insane every time you look at it. It's like an ugly sore. You keep going back to it. Do you see it? Do you see it? Do you see it?
Me: OH GOD!!!!!! I SEE IT!!!! IT'S SICKENING!!!! CHANGE IT NOW!!!!!
Melinda: I'm busy. You can have it in a couple of weeks.
Me: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
So now Planet Yang has a new logo and the site looks complete.
Type heads everywhere can now sleep in peace.
