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”.
