Graphic Design RSS Feeds

I've been looking everywhere for a decent Firefox RSS reader. I have used Flock's built in reader and it's ideal except I have loads of other Firefox Plugins so I really wanted to use that.
After trying over 10 different ones I was still no further forward. I can't say for PC because I haven't looked but Netvibes is the best RSS reader for Mac users by far.

My page is already starting to get full..




It's solve all my problems and has brightened what was starting to be a stressful unhappy Monday morning. Thank you netvibes.

Here a few if my rss feeds if anyones interested...

Natural Process Logo Designs

We had a new fun comp to enter on the graphic and web design forum is was a logo for a company called natural process. I came up with three alternatives here...







Although I dived in to the logo designs very fast I think the first design is maybe my favourite. I'm not sure about the orange colour, I tried it in green but the orange seemed more earthy.
There's been quite a few entries to this logo competition and a few decent logos.

I'm going to upload them to my logosauce profile and see if they gain any points.

Design Forum Logos

After designing so many logos on the graphic design & web design forum I decided to put them all in one place and where better than Logo Sauce.




I uploaded 18 to start with and I'll add to them as I design more, I like the way on Logo Sauce it can be work in progress or a competition entry it doesn't have to be a used logo.
You can view them and even vote for the designs here.

Graphic Design Forum Joins Last FM

With member requests the Graphic and Web Design Forum finally joins the last fm revolution.
It's a strange experience at first when you tune in to a Brit-Pop channel and the Spice Girls come on, not really what I was looking for but they're british and pop so I guess the way they're tagged has to be so.





I got led into the full subscription to get better access to what I was looking for and the last listened to signature designer is highly addictive. With the Graphic Design & Web Design Forum being quite light coloured it was too easy to make one that stood out like a sore thumb, so after many attempts (viewed here) I settled on a nice simply designed grey version see here....]\







Just had similar to coldplay radio on and it played James Blunt!! There's no accounting for taste I suppose.

The Design Forum charts are looking very varied Death Cab for Cutie seems to be top of the lists.




Am I convinced about the 'revolution' part, not sure it's clever way of working to get around certain copyright laws, but you're not always going to get what you want.

(Note to James Blunt: 'Must try harder')
