Having worked in ad agencies for ages, I can relate. At one agency, a certain telecommunications company client had 26 stakeholders on a quarterly brochure project. Each one of them had to either put their own ideas into it, nix someone else's ideas, or make changes to avoid any possible misunderstanding of copy. The final product was as interesting as a bowl of cold oatmeal. That stop sign video is so spot-on! Having worked in ad agencies for ages, I can relate.

He designed an awesome logo for a Virtual Assistant that just happens to have a lizard on it. It can be found under the heading "Design Tracks", right under his design portfolio. When I saw you little lizard, it triggered my memory of this logo that I can't seem to get out of my head! I also don't have a logo because I can't have the little lizard (it's belongs to someone else) and quite frankly, I want something original to reflect ME! I just haven't settled on what that is yet! Btw..I really like the punctuation on logos. Because of its "incorrectness", it catches my eye and leaves me with the impression of being "cutting-edge" and up-to-date.
