Jared Lunde is slowly becoming a popular name in the Online Graphic Design & Web Development industries while keeping the general mystique to it all, and for the past few years, Jared Lunde has built a name for himself in the Logo Design industry in Madison, Wisconsin and generally online too.

Having worked with clients such as Taylor Meade, Zalula, and The Wisconsin Student Lobby, Jared has excelled to the top of the food chain and is slowly securing a reputation as one of the more successful Logo/Graphic Designers in his industry. What makes him a bit special is the fact that he’s multitalented and takes on projects as lead designer/developer whenever he’s hired. And while he is quick to downplay this uniqueness, he has not been afraid to capitalize on it, remaining quite the humble individual. The Wisconsin Logo Designer is on a role!

White Limos have just launched their site and what a site it is. to  get a feel of what the site is all about, here’s a snippet from their home page:

Some of the Best Logos online are without a doubt, mine. I know how that sounds, but a little arrogance goes a long way in the design industry, trust me. So to many logo designers this post will be taken wrong, only a few may ever get it’s real purpose but this is why, I think my logos are among the best logos online today.

These ones are also among my best logo designs that received the most appreciation from the clients. I guess I did so well a job in their opinion (the only opinion that really matters is your clients) that they both have decided to keep in touch with me since.

They’re unique, one of a kind and for the most part, logo designs no one could have thought of but me, then again most logo designs done by talented designers these days are very much the same way, except their stuff is no where near as funky or unique as my work, because I obviously make the best logos online, which in a way makes me one of the best logo designers out there. Hate me yet?

These 2 are the best logos in the industry, or at least I think so, they’re also 2 of my favorites.

Ego or not, I guess showcasing some of my work in this blog post might help prove that my logos really are some of the best logos ever made, they absolutely rock and I’m not tooting my own horn, well I am, but I mean come on, look at my work! Aren’t they the best logos you’ve ever seen or what?

These 2 logos are among my best logos to have gained acceptance in the design industry and logo designs in general seem to like these concepts.

 What a fake contest. I was named the winner of the below fake contest and then not awarded anything, I send the contest starter a PM with my paypal ID and nothing. Some forum that is, they don’t have anyway of protecting us designers, I think it’s appalling. If they’re to hold a contest forum they should add the necessary software, take payment from end user, when winner is selected forward it to winner, take a slice of the pie, that’s how professionals do it. Not like this fake contest forum at V7N.

Recently I joined the V7N Forums. I got to know old friends and met a few new ones in a very short period of time, the community there is by far one of the friendliest I have ever been on. Although it lacks a professional presence and those with knowledge on there could probably be counted on one hand, it’s looking bright as mods and admins are gearing towards a change, a big change I have been told.

I have been reading up on some topics, although few in number some are rather informative, and then I ran into a new contest. It was a T-Shirt Design Contest and after reading the topic starters post, I decided to join and test peoples art abilities on these forums. My entry did not take time to finish and the concept pretty much hit me in the face, it was not at all hard or thought provoking, rather simple, it’s message too was direct and to the point.

The contest is still open and I’m not sure if i’ll win, so far there has been 4 or 5 design entries including mine with a few people working on it still, so who knows. I do hope I win as the prize is $300, and even though to some that’s not a lot, for me it’s a good month worth of living.

Wish me luck.

Dache of dache.com has gone and screwed an entire company over, Bolidea. This is what I hate about some designers, how they think just because of a few successful projects they’re somehow immune to rules and common curtsy and free to roam the net and plagiarize any design they come across. Well Dache, shit like that does not fly by some of us and those of us that can holla at you about it will do more than that.

Below is the original Logo by Mike Erickson of LogoMotive:

We believe the below logo was plagiarized by David Pache of Dache:

As a BlackHat SEO and former security enthusiast I can promise you Dache, that unless that plagiarized logo over at ArtFox is removed, your life, and Bolidea’s will be hell, if you think it’s only a group of 10 people, think again because once this news makes it to the 5Fifths BlackHat Network, over 18thousand members will know about it, and those guys are not the friendliest group of people online, trust me.

So Dache, Bolidea, people of ArtFox, please show some fucking respect and stop stealing hard working logo designers ideas, remove the ArtFox Logo off your site and get Dache to cook up some different colored pile of crap for you, please make sure it’s original and not another plagiarized logo. This is your final public warning Dache, if the ArtFox.com logo is not removed by Tuesday, end of business day, then we’ll be forced to slip this as priority news into the networks, to Quadzilla and filter it through all the design communities online using the many contacts we have.

David Pache, we know you might think this is publicity, but trust us, we know how to spin any form of publicity, good or bad into the bloody plague, and you don’t want us doing that. So comply and remove that plagiarized logo by Tuesday or we’ll be forced to take this way beyond the logo community.

Mike Erickson of Logomotive is one of my all time favorite logo designers, not because he’s a handsome guy but because of his sexy designing skills. The guy is beyond creative, he’s in a league of his own and if only he had more time to do his own thing, he’d be on everyone’s tongue. I’ve had lots of people contact me about designs, I have around 78thousand unread comments most of which are spam (sorry to those that haven’t been spamming, there’s no way for me to sift through them all in a timely fashion), anyway so I personally can never get round to designing for everyone and many projects end up being declined.

So, people, if you need a logo designer you can rely on, someone better than me, i said it, someone who can really bring your ideas to life then Mike Erickson of Logo Motive is the logo designer for you! If you really want a logo designer that can create a unique, professional looking logo for you then go to LogoMotive.net NOW!

Michael Kane, and his car console post made me think a lot about cleaning up my none existent car. I promise mike when I get my first car I will by that cool autobin car concole car trash thing, it looks great and i agree with mike, makes car seem so much cleaner.

Anyway this also gave me a logo idea for a new client of mine who is a big pain in the ass and im trying to finish the logo off as Mike asked me to take on long term contracts with him on an AMAZING new project, you will all know of it soon, it will be SO HUGE i am so honored he would let me in on it. Anyway, as for logo, this is what I came up with;

Not amazing but it first draft, tomorrow I send him finished version and hope he likes it. Client wanted a icon/logo/symbol that screams out I love Recycling. What better way than with a heart shaped recycle symbol. Unique I think and memorable. Let’s hope he likes finished version so i can focus more on the new HUGE HUGE project!

I have created maybe 10 free logos so far, banners and stuff too. Why? Because MK said so! This is the thing, I know I get around 500-900 unique readers a day depending on the day of the week, most love ANYTHING that’s free, you guys would probably eat a blackhat fish if it was free. So go join me and the rest of the guys over at ShoutingZone and check out the Get A Free Logo thread I started! You wont be disappointed!

I don’t know how long this will last but soon after it’s over i’ll be starting a Free Wordpress Blog Theme thread for all of you lovely people! Now what are you waiting for you mini me blackhat fishies! Go check it out!

So Black Fish designs are not that common, fish logo’s actually are not that common, i think it’s because the shape of the fish is hard to implement in a cool way. I call this design the BlackHat Fish. It’s a logo, and a concept that I think would be great as a BlackHat Blogs logo or a forums logo perhaps. Maybe I should Message QuadsZilla or Eli or someone about the concept, they might like it enough to honor me by using it as their own, maybe not!

So how did I come up with this idea, well I didn’t, it just hit me! In the face! It’s simple, concept is origamy, which to me should give the feeling of patience, simplicity, complexity too, a calm and collected logo. Creative and unique, just something out there.

I always like to flip through magazines, check out photo galleries, read ebooks, comics, anything and everything that could inspire me, it’s all about inspiration.

Hope that inspired you, maybe these Photoshop brushes will help too! Anything to help, you know me!

Update :

BlackHat Fish is, to me anyway, the process of playing with content in a way that it does not stink of spam, but is so full of shit that it knocks a bot out before it even gets crawled. Still it’s not fool proof, as there is no doubt Google is developing a way to detect the process I have just slightly described. In fact I would not be surprised whatsoever if they already have an ‘anti-algo’ to somewhat suppress the virtual mass of dupe/spam content filling up the internet and the Google index, at such a staggering rate!

In fact, if they don’t have one, they better get one soon as, to them, the problem has to be considered very dangerous. Imagine a scenario where, with the development of its revolutionary ‘relevance’ technology both in serving ads and in indexing the web as a whole, Google, now fattened from it’s billion dollar profits sits idly by and watches as it’s search engine becomes, well, irrelevant!

Not likely. But if it was to happen to the darling of today’s internet, it would be remembered as nothing short of a Shakespearean blunder on the grandest scale. We BlackHat Fish are innovators in our own right, we are the greatest.

We Black Hat Fish think global, who says you can only use content written in English for spam? You might be interested to know that I actually make a lot of money from non-English content as well, and I barely speak my own language!
Let me explain, quickly name the top 3 search engines in the world! NOW!

You said, Google Yahoo and MSN didn’t you? You are WRONG! Baidu (baidu.com which you may never have heard of) is one of the larges three search engines in the world today, Chinese based

Yes, we fishy blackhats know it all. -Ash

A Silk Scissor manufacturer wanted a new logo for one of their new multi silk blade products. (oolala) Supposedly it cuts even fine strands of silk, I was told i would get a pair to check out, logo done and no scissors. not like I’d have had a use for them anyway.

This was a challenge, it took me almost 3 hours of random sketching and then about 4 hours to implement. I was on a tight schedule to get this one done but as yu can see, the outcome was a good one. I created the scissor like vector graphic based on a photo they sent me, it’s simply showing the concept of several fine blades used to cut delicate silk.

While designing this logo, I did not want to focus on the logo, as much as the idea behind it. Silk, fine trimmed and precise, for a tool with so many blades, I managed to make it look like a delicate cutting tool.
