Back in the fall of 2007 my second book, <i><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/jefffisherlog-20/detail/1581809395">Identity Crisis!: 50 Redesigns That Transformed Stale Identities into Successful Brands</a></i>, was released by How Books. It's always the hope of any author that their book will have some longevity - or take on a life of its own. I was very pleased when I contacted by the editors at the recently revamped <a href="http://www.graphicdesign.com/">GraphicDesign.com</a> with an expressed interest to take a new look at <i><a href="http://astore.amazon.com/jefffisherlog-20/detail/1581809395">Identity Crisis!</a></i>. With copies of the book still available online, and in the design section of some bookstores, I appreciate <a href="http://www.graphicdesign.com/book-reviews/identity-crisis-50-redesigns-transformed-stale-identities-successful-brands/">the GraphicDesign.com review.</a><br />

Here's a "rerun" of the original post on my past garden project. Happy gardening!</i>]<p>One of my greatest passions, and best forms of therapy, outside of work is <a href=http://blog-omotives.blogspot.com/search/label/gardening>my garden</a>. Although the entire garden is most often watered by a timer- operated irrigation and drip system, occasionally there is a need to do extra watering using the garden hose. I always hate to be dragging the hose across the driveway, sidewalk or patio and have it attempt to decapitate plants in the garden.<p>I've looked at various hose guides at garden stores and I'm just too cheap to pay what is asked. I'd heard of people making the guides using lengths of pipe with ornamental lamp finials on top. Again, most lamp finials I like are too expensive for me to use in such a manner. A few weeks ago at <a href=http://www.lowes.com/>Lowe's</a> I found some aged bronze swirl drawer pulls on sale for $1.28 a piece - and I'd discovered my hose guide ornaments. So, with a 37-cent copper cap, a $1.42 piece of rebar, and about $1.00 worth of copper pipe, I had my hose guide materials for just over $4.00.<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig-eJs70lbeKEiFLaExlctdv1ELxbszh_hfNU9bOAXIgitzZF4vf8-lJdAoPN1QZxM5frjGEarB5nHWksWXziLY50k0Fiwxr2NwZlgc9L3GlZHPDdQ7emUUq0hKCTXWjGONMkw/s1600-h/blog-omotives-hoseguide1.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEig-eJs70lbeKEiFLaExlctdv1ELxbszh_hfNU9bOAXIgitzZF4vf8-lJdAoPN1QZxM5frjGEarB5nHWksWXziLY50k0Fiwxr2NwZlgc9L3GlZHPDdQ7emUUq0hKCTXWjGONMkw/s320/blog-omotives-hoseguide1.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215274449501500834" /></a><p>The materials needed for one hose guard (<i>shown above</i>) are:<p><b>• 1 piece of 1/2 inch copper pipe cut to 10 inches in length<p>• 1 copper cap for 1/2 inch pipe<p>• 1 piece of 3/8 inch rebar cut to 24 inches in length<p>• 1 ornamental brass or bronze drawer pull<p>• 1 metal screw (comes with drawer pull)</b><p>The tools needed include:<p><b>• a tape measure<p>• a handheld pipe cutter (available at the hardware store)<p>• a hacksaw (to cut the rebar and screw)<p>• an electric drill<p>• the necessary solder and soldering equipment<p>• steel wool, sandpaper or a tool made for roughing up the pipe surfaces to be joined<p>• a container of flux and the necessary brush for "painting" it on the copper tubing<p>• a pair of gloves with a non-skid palm surface for assistance in holding the pipe while it is being cut</b><p>The project process was actually fairly simple. The most effort was required in cutting the rebar and copper pipe to the proper lengths. It was also necessary to cut the screw that came with the drawer pull to about half of its length.<p>I used an electric drill to create a hole in the copper cap to screw on the drawer pull. Once the drawer pull was tightly screwed onto the cap, Ed soldered the screw in place within the cap to prevent movement (you could super glue the screw in place if desired). He then soldered the copper cap to the 10-inch length of copper pipe (again, you could super glue it on for ease).<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihxwjV0KuvrgeGhiSDX4TLrYwxh-i8fTgwnnTkpfHzov6dpuEUFPeIRi0R37tUAywoTbyYlh79zIu8hM0OFU6atP_TzwkeNMTuMnQGrkSCUeaz0wrWPm_It17dPEAMoW9V414O/s1600-h/blog-omotives-hoseguide2.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihxwjV0KuvrgeGhiSDX4TLrYwxh-i8fTgwnnTkpfHzov6dpuEUFPeIRi0R37tUAywoTbyYlh79zIu8hM0OFU6atP_TzwkeNMTuMnQGrkSCUeaz0wrWPm_It17dPEAMoW9V414O/s320/blog-omotives-hoseguide2.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5215276513758459074" /></a><p>I then stuck the piece of rebar into the ground, at the corner of the flower bed, until 10 inches of the rebar was left above the surface. The copper pipe fit over the rebar and my "designer" hose guide was in place. In a little less than an hour I had three custom hose guides completed and installed in my garden.<p><i>Note: You might also want to check out my <a href=http://blog-omotives.blogspot.com/2010/04/garden-umbrella-takes-stand-in-flower.html>flower pot umbrella stand</a> and <a href=http://blog-omotives.blogspot.com/2010/04/simple-garden-trellis-project-redux.html>copper pipe garden trellis</a> projects.</i><p>© <i>2012 <a href=http://jfisherlogomotives.com>Jeff Fisher LogoMotives</i></a>Jeff Fisher LogoMotiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10482311111316240290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18472575.post-19866831827795740192012-06-28T14:20:00.000-07:002012-11-11T20:11:41.546-08:00Calls for entries: Upcoming graphic design competition and book submission deadlines<br />

I really appreciate the vigilance of the design community. <p>In February 2012, one copyright infringement situation was brought to my attention by way of a personal email from a designer in Denmark, a tweet with the offending page link and a direct message from another designer on Twitter. Much of the concern shared by other professionals has been the result of the design industry's <a href=http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2011/08/logogardencom-harvests-pros-logos.html>recent experience with LogoGarden</a> and the large number of <a href=http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2011/10/gallery-of-jeff-fisher-logomotives-logo.html>copyright violations of my own work found via Google reverse image searches</a>.<br />
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacn9D07LMyghgLY6qAY7xEZEJUeC4sTr3ibvQloXOCfCyHY-6EUCIUzlvWsgqg2YR5IE2LHr1lMoPhz3wByG0mw4Gp1k3wsBLWQmieeoBDsZc2k06PiM0zcEGRb4kG3O-DuqO/s1600/NCS-Shutterstock1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="122" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiacn9D07LMyghgLY6qAY7xEZEJUeC4sTr3ibvQloXOCfCyHY-6EUCIUzlvWsgqg2YR5IE2LHr1lMoPhz3wByG0mw4Gp1k3wsBLWQmieeoBDsZc2k06PiM0zcEGRb4kG3O-DuqO/s320/NCS-Shutterstock1.jpg" /></a></div><p>Recently I received an email from a design peer in Texas, expressing his concern that he'd come across a rip-off of one of my designs in the online portfolio of an Austin designer (<i>above</i>). In viewing the example, I immediately knew that he was referring to the Neighborhood Service Center logo I designed for the City of Portland's Office of Neighborhood Involvement - an image that evolved from an earlier local government agency identity I created in 1999. In responding to my online design pal, I explained that I would suspect that the Austin image had somehow been inspired by my design, but it didn't appear to be a literal rip-off.<br />
<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Y_ydQZFD7V7jPs3CGnEPsfRBUHajE5v58h9c9cABJznht0XQWok-OHtL34-SPgC_viK2YS7tgcjyxo2DzDHw80fw9uXGcydO71voAbSUkDHRM048xfGpOpNwbwp4tKeEOKhI/s1600/NCS-Shutterstock2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="122" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8Y_ydQZFD7V7jPs3CGnEPsfRBUHajE5v58h9c9cABJznht0XQWok-OHtL34-SPgC_viK2YS7tgcjyxo2DzDHw80fw9uXGcydO71voAbSUkDHRM048xfGpOpNwbwp4tKeEOKhI/s320/NCS-Shutterstock2.jpg" /></a></div><p>Still, my curiosity was piqued - and I did a <a href=http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2011/09/googles-reverse-image-search-designers.html>Google reverse image search</a> using the logo image from Austin. Initially, I found a Shutterstock graphic (<i>above</i>) that was being sold by the company until at least 10.12.10. I suppose it was "inspired" by my design, as there are some very obvious similarities. I then came across numerous sites around the world offering the image for sale or as a free clipart download.

You may want to read my article about participating in design industry competitions and calls for book submissions: <i><a href="http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2010/03/collection-of-design-competition-and.html">A collection of design competition - and book submission request - tips, tricks and observations</a></i>.<br />
<br />
A design competition calendar is also available at <a href="http://icograda.com/events/events.htm">Icograda</a>. <a href="http://www.luerzersarchive.us/home.html">Lürzer's ARCHIVE</a> has an impressive <a href="http://www.luerzersarchive.us/links.asp">online list of competitions sponsored by international magazines and organizations</a>. <a href="http://www.dexigner.com/agenda/">Dexinger</a> posts competitions of great value to industry professionals - however designers need to be aware that some of the listings are for "spec" work as a requirement for submission. Requests for new, or speculative, work as a condition of entering a "<a href="http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2007/09/when-contest-is-not-contest.html">contest</a>" are much different than legitimate design competition "<a href="http://blog-omotives.blogspot.com/2006/10/call-for-entries-confusion.html">calls for entries</a>," in which previously created works are judged for possible awards, exhibition, or publication in an annual or other book.<br />
<br />
My own work appears in <a href="http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2007/09/jeff-fisher-logomotives-in-published.html">over 160 graphic design books</a>. Many of those inclusions are the result of design competitions, or requests for submissions, like those listed above.<br />

You may want to read my article about participating in design industry competitions and calls for book submissions: <i><a href="http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2010/03/collection-of-design-competition-and.html">A collection of design competition - and book submission request - tips, tricks and observations</a></i>.<br />
<br />
A design competition calendar is also available at <a href="http://icograda.com/events/events.htm">Icograda</a>. <a href="http://www.luerzersarchive.us/home.html">Lürzer's ARCHIVE</a> has an impressive <a href="http://www.luerzersarchive.us/links.asp">online list of competitions sponsored by international magazines and organizations</a>. <a href="http://www.dexigner.com/agenda/">Dexinger</a> posts competitions of great value to industry professionals - however designers need to be aware that some of the listings are for "spec" work as a requirement for submission. Requests for new, or speculative, work as a condition of entering a "<a href="http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2007/09/when-contest-is-not-contest.html">contest</a>" are much different than legitimate design competition "<a href="http://blog-omotives.blogspot.com/2006/10/call-for-entries-confusion.html">calls for entries</a>," in which previously created works are judged for possible awards, exhibition, or publication in an annual or other book.<br />
<br />
My own work appears in <a href="http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2007/09/jeff-fisher-logomotives-in-published.html">over 160 graphic design books</a>. Many of those inclusions are the result of design competitions, or requests for submissions, like those listed above.<br />

Toot!*: Jeff Fisher LogoMotives design for Portland law firm published in 'Relogo" book<p><p>The identity design work of Jeff Fisher, the Engineer of Creative Identity for the firm <a href=http://www.jfisherlogomotives.com>Jeff Fisher LogoMotives</a>, is represented in the recently released book <i><a href=http://astore.amazon.com/jefffisherlog-20/detail/8492810289>Relogo: Re-designing the Brand</a></i>.

Fisher had just completed the implementation of his new identity for Portland law firm Samuels Yoelin Kantor LLP (<i>above, lower right</i>). The new logo is an update of the logo he originally created for business in early 1997 (<i>above, upper right</i>).<p>Over the years, the graphic representation of two heavy law books, forming an S letterform, has become a very recognizable icon for the business. The original identity was honored with a Bronze in the Summit Creative Awards. It has also appeared in the <i>1997 PRINT Regional Design Annual</i> and the books <i>International Logos & Trademarks IV, New Logo & Trademark Design</i> (Japan), <i>The Big Book of Logos, Global Corporate Identity</i> and <i>The Best of Letterhead and Logo Design</i>.<p>Fisher, a 33-year design industry veteran, is the author of <i><a href=http://astore.amazon.com/jefffisherlog-20/detail/1581809395>Identity Crisis!: 50 redesigns that transformed stale identities into successful brands</a></i> and <i><a href=http://www.mydesignshop.com/product/the-savvy-designers-guide-to-success-cd>The Savvy Designer's Guide to Success: Ideas and tactics for a killer career</a></i>. Other book projects are currently in the works. The designer has received over 600 design awards and his work has been published in <a href=http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2007/09/jeff-fisher-logomotives-in-published.html>more than 160 books</a> on identity design, self-promotion and the marketing of small businesses.<p>More information about Jeff Fisher, and his design and writing efforts, may be found on the <a href=http://www.jfisherlogomotives.com/>Jeff Fisher LogoMotives blogfolio</a>.<p><p>(<i>* If I don’t "toot!" my own horn, no one else will.</i>)<p>© 2011 <i><a href=http://www.jfisherlogomotives.com>Jeff Fisher LogoMotives</a></i>Jeff Fisher LogoMotiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10482311111316240290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18472575.post-7599013721446370332011-11-09T06:37:00.000-08:002011-12-01T21:43:22.532-08:00Calls for entries: Upcoming graphic design competition and book submission deadlines<p><p>All of the following competition or book submission deadlines present great opportunities to showcase your design efforts, market your work on an international scale through the published books, and <a href="http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2007/10/tooting-your-own-horn-how-designers-can.html">"toot!"</a> your own horn to clients, peers and the media:<br />

A design competition calendar is also available at <a href="http://icograda.com/events/events.htm">Icograda</a>. <a href="http://www.luerzersarchive.us/home.html">Lürzer's ARCHIVE</a> has an impressive <a href="http://www.luerzersarchive.us/links.asp">online list of competitions sponsored by international magazines and organizations</a>. <a href="http://www.dexigner.com/agenda/">Dexinger</a> posts competitions of great value to industry professionals - however designers need to be aware that some of the listings are for "spec" work as a requirement for submission. Requests for new, or speculative, work as a condition of entering a "<a href="http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2007/09/when-contest-is-not-contest.html">contest</a>" are much different than legitimate design competition "<a href="http://blog-omotives.blogspot.com/2006/10/call-for-entries-confusion.html">calls for entries</a>," in which previously created works are judged for possible awards, exhibition, or publication in an annual or other book.<br />
<br />
My own work appears in <a href="http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2007/09/jeff-fisher-logomotives-in-published.html">over 140 graphic design books</a>. Many of those inclusions are the result of design competitions, or requests for submissions, like those listed above.<br />

Received an email, in answer to my initial communication of 09.14.11, from Alicatz on 09.17.11 stating that an email had been sent to their web designer <a href=http://dandlwebdesign.co.uk/>D & L Web Design</a> for a response. On 10.11.12 D and L Web Design finally contacted me, asking for a "small period of grace (7 days)" to address the situation.

On 01.23.12 a new FB page was discovered and Facebook removed the image on 01.24.12. The website still includes the logo in question. On 02.04.12 I received an email from the organization, stating that the image they had been using had been created pro bono for them by a designer - and that it would no longer be used.<p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheXRqkeQ5Jwi2aczFqo6Uaoq_e7GupBfyYInf8J3dqL1Cjt60ovC9q2PueBP1UABWXKRk2thnSilDqkw3dBeiZ8Nq6AzlftybNNfZEswsBNRKpIfh25-BtsgMmkN-9WZP0lj_x/s1600/LogoMotives-WYT-ALTA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="122" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheXRqkeQ5Jwi2aczFqo6Uaoq_e7GupBfyYInf8J3dqL1Cjt60ovC9q2PueBP1UABWXKRk2thnSilDqkw3dBeiZ8Nq6AzlftybNNfZEswsBNRKpIfh25-BtsgMmkN-9WZP0lj_x/s320/LogoMotives-WYT-ALTA.jpg" /></a></div><p>09.11 - My 'Walk Your Talk' logo design seems to be strolling through Romania, representing a nonprofit foundation.

This past year, Ashley and her husband, Travis, had the opportunity to travel through East Africa with her parents. Being community-minded, they spent much of their time in small villages getting to know people, creating relationships and making new friends along the way.<p>The photos Ashley shared showcased one of the families they befriended. Ashley was the first to notice that one of the boys was wearing shorts with my logo design for Ron's business, Balloons on Broadway.<p>Unfortunately no one is able to adequately explain how the Balloons on Broadway logo ended up embroidered on the leg of a boy's shorts on a continent far away. As Ron noted, "We've never embroidered shorts, nor done much marketing in East Africa (*wink*). In fact we only had one screen run of 12 t-shirts with that logo and they all ended up on the back of our staff. That's it."<p>"The only way I can rationalize it is that the logo appeared in a publication of some sort in the UK (perhaps one of those listed above) and since Kenya's part of the Commonwealth, the publication ended up there and was spotted by someone who thought it would be a good knock-off," he added. "The boy's mother said she bought the shorts at the local market and couldn't quite understand what all the fuss was about - the kid just needed some shorts."<p>The search for other examples continues...<p><b>Related articles</b><p><b>• <i><a href=http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2011/10/ucda-designer-features-logo-rip-off.html>UCDA "Designer" features "Logo Rip-off" article</a></i><p>• <i><a href=http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2011/09/googles-reverse-image-search-indies.html>Google's reverse image search: Indies Restaurant</a></i><p>• <i><a href=http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2011/09/googles-reverse-image-search-designers.html>Google's reverse image search: A designer's best friend in finding and fighting unauthorized usage</a></i><p>• <i><a href=http://jefffisherlogomotives.blogspot.com/2011/08/logogardencom-harvests-pros-logos.html>LogoGarden.com harvests pros' logos - including Jeff Fisher designs - and sells images on site</a></i></b><p>© 2012 <i><a href=http://jfisherlogomotives.com>Jeff Fisher LogoMotives</a></i>Jeff Fisher LogoMotiveshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10482311111316240290noreply@blogger.com0
