New Logo, New Design

For the past month, I have been working closely with designer Mike Rohde on developing some personal branding - essentially a logo for this site, my business cards, etcetera. The logo has been completed and as such I tweaked this site a bit to accommodate for it.

There are a few things here and there that I would like to implement in the near future. I kind of rushed this design out as I'm flying home to Texas tomorrow for my sister's wedding, where I will be a groomsman and self-acclaimed backup photographer.

As with all new designs, it might look weird for you until the new CSS file gets called - so refresh a few times, or in Safari hit shift+refresh to purge the cache for my site. Also as usual, I didn't have the time to do IE6/7 testing, so things might look wonky on that front. Let me know what you think.

You can see all of Mike Rohde's work from brainstorming to completion in this flickr photoset I made. I'm happy with the new logo and plan on making a ton of business cards with it. I think investing in personal branding like this was one of the best things I've put money towards, even if it did cost more than an iPhone. Thanks to everyone who commented on the logo design process on flickr.

The processor-looking logos were an idea, but I'll just hold onto them for things like buttons.

Oh and speaking of the iPhone, I finally got my BlackBerry Curve. I don't know why I ever waited so long to get a BlackBerry.
