Farewell to SimLub Logo.


A bit of sad news.

Just heard that Simlub division of Simdi is being discontinued.
This is one of 8 or so divisions... and is concerned with marketing and distribution of Unicorn brand of Lubricants.

I like the simplicity and smooth, flowy curves of this logo. Contrasted with a strong and powerful color comb, it has a special feel to it. The logo is formed from a stylised oval form, formed from the letter 'L' for Lubricants
Designed about Four years back,
the logo has been updated once, with an outline for the font.

One of about 200+ logos I have designed for various Companies, since my return from Singapore...
it is always sad to see even one, go.

This time however, I will try not to cry.

Crows










In the island ecosystem, everything has a place. And everyone has a job. Some jobs can be normal.Some jobs are so odd, that it lacks mere definitions. Some jobs are so diligently undertaken, that jobbers become associated with trouble.
And ridiculed for their efficiency.

To the average islander, the crow is pest, at best.Ugh, that horrible voice.
And that ugly blackness. And those appalling table mannners, God.Islanders are very wary of the crows stealing habits.Even soap bars from bathrooms has to guarded with caution.Reason enough to see not a single bird being domesticated.
Life of the island crows are harsh, but they are highly functional, and exceptional at their job.
A dirty job, mind you, but someones got to do it.
Natures most efficient clean-up machines... coming.
