When I heard the name I just flashed and there it was.  I couldn't wait to get to my system and crank it out. I actually sketched it out on a napkin a couple of times last night.</p><p>I believe that the best Identities are created when you have a flash of inspiration from above.  I take absolutely no responsibility for my best work because of this belief.  Some of you might think I'm crazy, but for me..designing logos is like channeling spirits.  I've been blessed with the gift of translation.</p><p>I am a natural translator of other peoples visions into simple, strong and concise imagery that lasts forever.  Imagery that imprints itself in the viewers mind with so much impact that it's scary.  Squarekid's logo came out of nowhere, but it's here to stay in our minds forever.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://sabetbrands.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-6784640.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Famos Identity / Fun / Functional / Beautiful</title><category>Branding</category><category>brands</category><category>cupcakes</category><category>famos</category><category>fun</category><category>identity</category><category>pretty</category><category>rent sidon</category><dc:creator>Sabet</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 20 Feb 2010 21:13:58 +0000</pubDate><link>http://sabetbrands.com/blog/2010/2/20/famos-identity-fun-functional-beautiful.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">292931:2995668:6771633</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://sabetbrands.com/storage/famos_Identity_vectorpack.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1266700628918" alt="" /></span></span>Working with Rent on the Famos Identity was like going to a party and meeting the most interesting people. &nbsp;Why do I say that? Because the hole concept behind famos as a company is completely the opposite of the word's meaning. &nbsp;Needless to say that the final Identity was much much simpler than the one I'm displaying here. &nbsp;But I couldn't get past how wonderful this one turned out.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://sabetbrands.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-6771633.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Working invites</title><dc:creator>Sabet</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 09 Feb 2010 09:50:41 +0000</pubDate><link>http://sabetbrands.com/blog/2010/2/9/working-invites.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">292931:2995668:6621179</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><img class='iphone-image' src='http://sabetbrands.com/resource/iphone-20100209015041-1.jpg?fileId=5687310'/></p><p></p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://sabetbrands.com/blog/rss-comments-entry-6621179.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Are we real?</title><dc:creator>Sabet</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 01 Feb 2010 01:43:10 +0000</pubDate><link>http://sabetbrands.com/blog/2010/2/1/are-we-real.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">292931:2995668:6513044</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><img class='iphone-image' src='http://sabetbrands.com/resource/iphone-20100131174310-1.jpg?fileId=5580816'/></p><p>There are times (many many times) a day where I question reality.

<p>Today Google announced that their browser based OS is coming in 2010 and it's completely open sourced. &nbsp;That means that any developer could be making stuff for it! Great! I'm excited to see this non-os OS! &nbsp;The video is great and I'm glad i watched the whole thing, cause if I hadn't, I might have been a little bit smarter than I am now. &nbsp;Anyways, I hope it comes out and google gets to continue on it's big dream of taking over the world and renaming the WWW, the GGG! Enjoy the video and have a great day.</p>
