There is a great report on logo trends in 2011 over at logolounge.com that you should check out.

“Last year was brighter. This year is lighter.

Your humble servants at LogoLounge.com were called out by some after last year’s Trends Report on allegedly favoring brightly hued logos. In truth, though, like with all Trends Reports, we were objectively reporting what we saw. The color dial was certainly pegged.

For the 2011 report, our ninth, color is still prevalent, but tinted down. Where black has been used as the strong neutral, now brown or gray is in place. Blues and greens are softer, and pinks are starting to appear…”

Over the past year I have put the finishing touches for my interior design stint at Moldtech – Custom Rubber Manufacturing. Wayne added 20,000 sq. ft. (doubled the size) of well-designed plant space to his manufacturing facility. Designing space from scratch allowed him to create an ideal manufacturing plant. It was challenging for me – just like anything that is fairly new to you. There are two distinct areas. The plant space and the office space – which was pretty much gutted and then doubled in size. The finishing touches – which is mostly accessorizing – is the part I love!
