Directory Journal logo proposal #1

Directory Journal logo proposal #2

Directory Journal logo proposal #3

When discussing proposals, we mutually agreed that #1 has best overall mix of traditional while clear and readable masthead/newspaper title appearance.

Decision was to move on with #1 and I was asked to try few different variations with tagline, refine the thickness of logotype and possibly further emphasize the message. I wanted to portray letterpress feel further, thus #1 revisions were sent off:

Directory Journal logo design #1 Revision b

Directory Journal logo design #1 Revision c

The final decision was to finalize 1c with lighter “emboss” letterpress appearance, thus you can see final result on http://dirjournal.com

I am happy that we managed to produce what i think successful rebranding and wish all the best for the Directory journal team.

I would like to thank Mr. Saleem for the opportunity to work on this identity, and would also like to thank David Airey (http://davidairey.com) for kindly referring my services to him.

Phew! What a week it’s been. We are now on a new more powerful server bought from Hostgator.com and it comes with 8GB RAM. 500 GB Disk Space and 4 a Core Xeon Processor. This means much more space, speed and reliability.

However, the transition, I must say has been very painful, all thanks to Hostgator support. Our site was down for eight long hours solely due to the complete lack of co-operation from their support staff.

I sincerely apologize to all our visitors, who sent disappointed mails and to all others who may have tried accessing the site during this period. We tried our best, but sometimes things are just not in our hands. Wonder what would have happened if not for the intervention of Chad Bean and Brent Oxley who helped us get back online again.

The good news for our visitors is that the site is loading much, much faster now, which makes all the trouble worth it.

I thank you for your continued support and patience.

Hasan Saleem
