This is my new blog logo.
It was designed by my daughter as a Father's Day gift.
It was totally her idea. She is a graphic design major in college and with the way the world is, businesses not hiring college-age talent for internships and such, she had some time to work on her skills for my benefit.
I love it.
One of its cool components is the background is transparent so I can use it with any background color I want.
The last one shows you how nice it looks against the blog color background. I will probably go with the white or light gray option as the logo stands out best with that color.
Now for the tricky part.
This will necessitate a blog redesign, unfortunately.
My current blog design, which I like for its minimalist nature, is not friendly when it comes to using photos or graphic elements in the header or wherever. Blogger in general makes installing things like this a pain, so it's going to take some experimenting before I settle on something I like. So if you jump on Night Owl Cards and see a bunch of hammering and sawing, you'll know why. (I've already tinkered with the background).
I want to make sure that the logo isn't so big that people have to scroll down for new content, that's one of the reasons why I moved to the more simplistic, "professional" design. But I also want to make sure it's prominent.
Happy Father's Day to you all the fathers. Hope your kids are as awesome as mine is.

Seriously though, how awesome is it that your daughter is helping make your blog even cooler than it already was. Well done (and Happy Father's Day)!
I got artwork for father's day too, but my kids made theirs with crayons. I hope someday when they are older they'll do something like that for my blog!
Very cool new logo.
