Scared Of Similar Logos

Key Takeaways

do you ever design a logo and then you start to get scared that maybe somebody else did something similar and your client is going to think that you've stole this idea but you've actually made it yourself but you're not sure that anybody's ever done that before that's quite scary over the last week I've been working on a branding project that I'm doing for a VC firm and I've been designing the logo and the thing is that when you're trying to do a little boy that's really kind of a simple shape using you know geometric forms then there's always the risk that somebody's already done that before you know there's just so many designers and for years that have been creating simple shape combination from geometric shapes in there's just no way to know if that has been done before and I'm super scared so I've been kind of searching Google I don't know the circle logo and try to find out and trying to do Google searches and going to local websites like logo pondan just searching everything I can to make sure that I'm not making a mistake by creating a little bit that somebody has already done before but I've spent a lot of time and I couldn't find anything but I'm still worried not too long ago I read this article that shows that even big companies like medium Airbnb and beats kind of have their logo super similar that logos that already has been done in you know 70s and 80s so I guess there's really no way to maybe avoid that or find out if that has been done before because if you didn't get the chance to see that specific book and the logo wasn't online it's really hard to know if that low exists or not but then again maybe doesn't matter if somebody did that before but this low is not being used today or at least not being used in the same industry in the same country then maybe maybe that's not mate doesn't matter you know and I did the research in the you know in the VC industry and over there there is nobody using anything like that so maybe it's probably fine i guess it shouldn't be worried and just progress with this direction i'm heading out to lunch with a past client who I haven't seen in a while to catch up here what's up and just eat a tasty lunch so back from a good lunch got do a little bit more work and then head to a climb ed but on the way I was listening to a new ebook called the personal NBA I don't think it's no it's just that I started listening to it and I kind of wanted to learn more about business in regard to the new school but actually it I found it really useful in the context of running freelance business and I want to share a lot of the lessons from the book but I'll finish it first so probably next week we're in a further block really really useful alright so a good meeting and a good week super crazy week and next week is also going to be crazy definitely two weeks I'm going to try to lower uptick you know types of meeting hands up I'm gonna be tried doing anyway hope you guys have a great weekend out catch you next week
