Today is my last day working for Spreadshirt, hopefully I’ll write a proper long goodbye to OLP crowd post over Christmas. But for now I’d like to thank you one last time for taking part in the OLP. Its the most fun project I ever worked on and thats because you made it so entertaining. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.
Where are I going? Find out here
And now for our second part of the meet the winners interview special edition, bigger, longer and uncut logo special interviews boxset. This time it the Swedish wonder kid Kim Larsen creator of Lovetab. New job, new city, same funny outlook on life. Read the interview in the full post.
Its been a while now since we crowned both Lovetab and Play With the Forms champions supreme. Now that the intial shock has worn off, we (well actually Rebekka) sat down with Nicolas aka Lufograf and Kim to discuss their logos, the OLP and life since then.Come and read Nicolas’ interview in the full post. Kims we’ll blog tomorrow.
ps: Oh and one other thing, after the longest of long waits Ina just got her ISO50 prizes (we had to get them shipped via Spreadshirt and then customs jumped in both sides i’m guessing as it took forevvveeeer):

One step closer, no steps back. The ball is well and truly rolling now on the finalization of our new logo. On Monday both agencies (read about them here) submitted their initial review and developments on both Lovetab and Play With the Forms. This stage was about the agencies delivering a:
- A first reaction (what do you think, what makes the biggest impression etc)
- Usage examples (one colour, small sizes, stationary, web, marketing initiatives lets see them in action)
- Development Opportunities (break it, twist it, show how deep the logos rabbit hole goes)
The results are really promising. We’re so proud of both logos that I’m certain we’ll find ways to use them both in some capacity - marketing, special campaign etc. But only one can become our new logo, and we’d welcome your input on the agencies work and your recommendations.
Here are some highlights from the proposals, showing different usage possibilities of both logos:
Play With The Forms By Lufograf
Lovetab by Kim Larsen
And here are both pdf’s the agencies submitted. Let us know what you think.
Kocmoc.net (read Kosmos) - There’s also covers Frankensteining which wasn’t in the brief, and we’ve been pretty strongly against since the start. But its nice to see their interpretation of it.

I was impressed how well they worked when used together though. Not combined but supporting each other as in this advertising campaign proposal from Kocmoc:
So what do you think overall?
Look for an announcement of which will become our new logo soon.
Here it is. At last. The special Computer Arts Logo Edition. Inside along with about 30 pages of discussion about logo design, is the near-full page interview with Nicolas and Kim aka Lufograf and KimLarsen. When I first talked to the CA guys we never discussed that there was a logo design special planned, so I hope in some way that the interest in the OLP helped create enough interest in this topic, to result in this special.
Come read the interviews and more pics in the full post
PDF of CA feature coming later today/tomorrow. But I thought you might enjoy seeing Pablo & Laurent (aka Nelson & Laurent) enjoying their prizes (no i’m not trying to rub it in, you get a special losers shirt what more could you want?)
Laurent opted for a beautiful Leica camera, as he already had the prizes we were offering. His bathtime will never be the same again it seems.
Pablo inspired by his new iPod Touch made a song for us as well. Proving his skills stretch much further than graphic design. If any of you have a rough idea how to make it sound slighty musical (I’m a little lost on this one) record it and mail me, i’ll blog it for us all to enjoy.
More prize pics coming (hopefully) from Legofish, Shahin and Inadimova :)
Have a good week, don’t work too hard.
