Desktop Publishing Desktop Publishing Get Started Choose Software Make Something From Jacci Howard Bear, your Guide to Desktop Publishing Got a little logo love going on this week. And letterhead. And business cards. And whatever else might be considered part of a company's identity system or branding materials. Pop over to the About.com Desktop Publishing Facebook page and check out the (unfinished) birth announcement pic I posted. Share your own projects too. Logo Games and Quizzes This list was initially inspired by seeing a copy of The LOGO Board Game on a store shelf. These games and quizzes are online. Must admit I did horribly on some of them (OK, A LOT of them). Test your own logo identification skills. One side effect of playing these games is found myself staring at logos on the backs of cars and on billboards trying to memorize them so I could do better next time I play. Send some logo love to your friends and share this logo game list on Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon, and your other favorite places.
