I was watching a T.V. show the other day about a scrappy bunch of software developers in California. In the show the team of four nerdy guys is preparing for a meeting to present their company to potential investors. They kept talking about their clothes and the demo of their product. It must have been my public relations education kicking in because I could not stop thinking about badly they needed a pitch deck.

The new logo delves back into Inter Milan’s roots, described by the club as “a modern reinterpretation of the club’s historic symbol, in a more streamlined and minimalist guise” This also makes it much more appropriate for use online and on-screen. The I and M letters have been translated over from the original mark, created by graphic designer and illustrator Giorgio Muggiani – who was also a painter, caricaturist and, fittingly, a football referee.

The technology that new computer monitors use has come a long way from the monitors that used cathode ray tubes. It feels like the technology changes every day and the latest monitors are available in not only 5k resolution but also 8k resolution, pushing the very limits of what the human eye can discern. If you do any kind of graphic design or even photo/video editing, having a monitor with the best possible resolution can help you focus on the finer details of what you’re working on.

The winner of the vote, which was opened to the public on March 6 on the milanocortina2026.org website, is named Logo Futura. It captured 871,000 votes from 169 countries, and 74% of the overall vote, so was a resounding win. This marks the first time that an Olympics logo has been decided by the public. Given the amount of feverish interest that Olympics logos tend to generate, it sort of makes sense to open the final decision to a public judgement, though it’s hard not to feel somewhat u

Trust is the foundation of a good client/designer relationship. It provides confidence and security to everyone involved. Without it, there is no means to achieve any sort of comfort level or positive productivity. Just about every freelancer has a story about an untrustworthy client. Someone who promised the moon and delivered significantly less. Perhaps they weren’t truthful about their ability to pay or put you through one bad situation after another.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design.
