Tokyo Marble Chocolate Logo

Gorgeous logo of the 2007 OVA Tokyo Marble Chocolate. Extremely clever way of using the kanjis and katakanas which normally look like this: 東京マーブルチョコレート. Even horizontally it's still very charming and still very easy to read. The image above comes directly from the video where it continually floats over the rolling background of the cityscape. Below, beautifully applied to the drawing.

The Five Star Stories Logo

I recently watched this 1989 movie and I was mesmerized by the beautiful logo. I wonder if the author of the manga created it. Do mangakas make the logos for their stories? According to Mike Toole, anime historian, the author of Five Star Stories was trained as a fashion designer.

Anime World Order: Logo

Two suggestions for logo change of the Anime World Order podcast. From the e-mails I've exchanged with them, I get the feeling they sorta liked but... they grew attached to the one they got. I don't expect them to change anytime soon. It would be crazy if ad agencies kept proposing logo changes for companies. The desire of change must come from the client. That's why it wasn't depressing that they still chose a logo they ripped off from this. Hopefully one day they will yearn for a revamp.

I'm seriously considering removing the circle from within the letter "o". It is distracting more than explaining.

Below is the original version which the guys at mooz like more (designers... pfff). The biggest problem to me is that the name "Anime World Order" doesn't fit anywhere. It is extremely compact... maybe a little too much.
