Going Simpler

by kapowaz, Monday, February 25, 2013, 06:59 (4072 days ago) @ Mid7night

I like simple, but it kinda reminds me of the Discovey Channel...

…or the Open University logo. Trouble is that when you're going for simple letterforms there are only a finite number of possibilities for this sort of thing, so inevitably there are overlaps. Hell, I created the K logo for kapowaz back in 2003, and I've seen similar logos used by other companies two or three times since then. Not much I can do about that, though.
