THE INTERWEB - April 18 2008: The Idea Sandbox logo has been chosen as best Marketing/PR blog logo in the Logo Design Love Awards.

Founder of Idea Sandbox, Paul Williams rejoiced, "Wow! With nearly 190 million blogs on the interweb - over 112 million of them English-language... That makes most blogs a needle in a haystack. For Idea Sandbox to be selected in an honor, and to win... a thrill! Thank you judges! And thank you to my clever designer Jennifer from Principle!"

For the past ten weeks the site, Logo Design Love, has been hosting a competition to judge the best blog logos.

The aim was to uncover the most effective blog logos, and to raise awareness of lesser-known logo designers. A distinguished panel of judges were brought on board, with more than a century of collective design experience.

• Idea Sandbox - for originality in design & illustration
  
• Not only is the idea sandbox a great logo… greatest of the great… but the blog site is very informative and forces you to reflect.
  (I think that may have been my Dad's comment)
  
• I dig this one the most. Haha.
  
• Idea Sandbox gets my vote. It is inviting, creative and has energy. It stands alone in that it is descriptive without being prescriptive.

Suite of Sandbox Logos

The award-winning starburst logo... used on the website.

There's the simple "Idea Sandbox Script." I use this in my email auto-signature.

I have a suite of horizontal tags in various colors...

And, this treatment is featured on my business card...

Thanks a million for the nomination, for the votes, and for judging our logo as one of the best!
