Happy New Year World!
By: Kevin Xu
Here’s to 2008, a whole new year with many opportunities and high hopes from two young teens.
To be quite honest, we are amazed that we even made it through the year. We started out all the way back in September and went through a redesign and got out own domain name! Since the move (Nov. 2) until now 2857 visits with 4746 pageviews and 2,324 unique visitors! We hope many of our readers stick with us through our adventure and a great way to do so is to subscribe to our RSS feed!
So what have we been up to lately? Kevin has created a logo!
“This was more of a personal project than anything else. It’s just a way for me to mark my stuff with my emblem and have it all symbolic-y. I also got to play with web 2.0 stuff and GIMP. Hopefully one day it will be a wide-known symbol logo.”
“It’s just a new creation with my initials, K.X. and through a little research, the arrow is supposed to represent power… success… and apparently luck in battle as well.”
Hope you guys like it. If you got any comments or suggestions then please tell us in the comments!

I think it’s too complicated. If you look at good logos they are all about shape and simplicity. The shape is what you remember (and helps when printing it in black and white). When you get complex, it loses that power. Also it needs to work at favicon size (16×16px)
Look at GridView: http://gridview.theplaz.com It’s just 4 boxes. My other logos are more like logo types - however they are colorful, readable, and look good in black and white.

Thank you for your comment Michael. While I agree with you that simplicity is key to a good logo, my intention for this logo was not for a website or any ‘official’ means of use. It is just my logo that will represent me and who I am and be of some use in my current endeavors. It may be one day adapted to a real logo which in that case be carefully created for its purpose.
For now, it is easy enough to draw on my papers and nice looking on the web.
