How the Murrion Logo came to be..

Gary McGinty from Ion  came across this tweet from Stephen Crowley on Wednesday saying:

RT @murrion: RT @wubud: HELP: We’d love your feedback on our logo concepts for @Wubud -
please comment on the blog http://twurl.nl/x7f6gz

Gary checked out this blog and saw that Murrion was also designing a new corporate identity.

Taking the initiative on both counts, before signing off for the evening, Gary helped out @wubud with a design draft http://twitpic.com/5n0iy and the following morning he helped out with a draft for Murrion’s logo too http://www.twitpic.com/5ojas

The main logo is a 9×9 square - the lines represent code and an abstracted “M” & “S”.

Gary McGinty from from Ion Ltd got in touch early Friday morning with these designs for Murrion Software.

Gary indirectly  saw my tweet asking if anyone would be able to work on a design for me, which is a story in itself. Its a great example of the usefulness of Twitter.

A couple of other designers, Leon Quinn and Alan McCarthy contacted me too to help with a design. Thanks guys for your time.

Heres what Gary sent to me. The more I look at it, the more I like it. Im looking forward to using it in a few places including a website design, web app UI’s, business cards and letter heads.

Thanks for your work ION!
