Tokyo, Japan - 2009

Guess what! I live in Montreal, but I’m all alone in a bubble. I do UX/UI but I don’t know who else does.. I also have two goals centered around my work.
1) First getting feedback on it.
2) Second sharing/critiquing UX, dare I say it, past just what we do on the interwebs.

Could this eventually be done in collaboration with more individuals like me? Perhaps.
I might elaborate in future. BUT hey~ if your in the Montreal area or not, why not reply to this discussion?

This usually result in me taking the following action. Either I grab a usable (hopefully transparent) version of said logo off the company’s website. Or I start searching in google because the website version is stylized with a drop shadow and white text and a gradient in the background. Both acts still lead me needing to knock out the background of the logo and making it black on white; perfectly neutral with a global use/re-use.

Basically I like looking at the first of these, but want to work with the latter:

So one of my clients actually noticed this problem when a writer needed to grab his logo for an article. After some CSS-ing my solution is the following… view demo. I also implemented this on the website that sparked the idea, at www.bloom-hq.com.

Bear in mind I have made some assumptions. I assume you don’t have a media-kit that is downloadable and easy to find. I also assume that people are lazy and want to get your logo quickly and in a place they know where it is located (your header). In addition I assume that to cover most uses, even if people believe/want the stylized ‘website version’ of your logo, it is best to provide your logo as black on white (or greyscale) format.

Maybe this can be the start of a web standard to always provide your logo in it’s basic format for easy use (and save Google search and Illustrator tracing for something else).

I will update this post with the CSS needed to make this happen, but of course it’s all in the demo.

That is all.
