Graphic designers do not take logo creation lightly. There is always a reason for everything. Colors, symbolism, the emotional feel of a font…and the careful placement of shapes. This article gets to the heart of a few famous logos, further explaining the importance of a well-strategized logo (and pointing out some clever details you may have never consciously seen!): 13 Famous Company Logos with Hidden Messages
Juniper and Ivy

To celebrate the holidays, our team recently convened after work at the relatively new restaurant Juniper and Ivy, in nearby Little Italy. It was a fun maiden voyage for all of us to take together. We tried some apps, surprising entrees, some delicious and unique cocktails, and decadent desserts. It was a great evening with fantastic ambiance, friendly staff, yummy eats and of course great company! We all highly recommend this restaurant if you’re looking for an upscale (but comfortable) meal out in this up-and-coming part of San Diego.

Aside from a rather sour review of some things, this article by the UT is an interesting recap of 2014’s highs and lows in San Diego’s arts community. National pop stars aside, it’s a great look into the local goings-on in our relatively robust art scene. Here’s to an artistic new year, San Diego!

Dog or Cat Person?
At viadesign, we love pets and have always had this ongoing cat vs. dog type of debate (if you can call it that). They are two animals that many people love and keep in their homes, but they’re so distinctly different. When we came upon this very creative Youtube video, it captured the subject so well and gave us all such a good laugh, we thought we would share the wealth. Enjoy! – Jen
