This logo was designed for myself as a side project for designing a cyclist messenger bag. The latin words Nota Bene stands for Note It Well, and I modified this phrase to Rota Bene ie. Rotate ( -> the pedal) it well!
Click on the picture to see it in higher resolution.
It is a common phrase used by Hungarian cyclists to engourage each other so It popped out of my mind to modify this old latin phrase to fit in my cyclist life. That is the story of the words I used for my logo. Also it appeared on my messenger bag, hand sewn.
Why should this logo be considered for Logo Of The Day?
“Because of the creative use of typography and the tricky playing with words and cross-meanings.”
Some previous tries that led me to the final logo:
The letters are nearly finished, trying out shapes for the letter “E”
Bad “E”
Good “E”
Not so beautiful
Look, a tiny cute leaf!
Is this one word? No.
The final version
I have made an iPhone background picture from the logo, and a bigger one for my desktop in 1680 x 1050. If you like it download it and use it.

avagy “Top reasons your CSS columns are messed up” címmel írt egy érdekes cikket Kyle Neath. Honlaptervezőket sok órányi fejfájdítástól kímél meg, sok érdekes dolgot elmagyaráz, mit és miért csinálnak másképp a böngészők. “Miért néz ki a honlapom máshogy két böngészőben?” Érdekesen elmagyarázza az ilyen buktatók kikerülésének módjait, elsősorban védekező szemszögből. Érdemes végigfutni.

CoverFlow was a revolutionary new feature which first appeared in iTunes 7 in 2007. It was a very usable feature and it gave us the ability to visually browse through our albums, songs. Although it was only spectacular when you had your songs tags properly filled with the artist info, and also you had the cover for the song included in the song file.
For music CoverFlow was ideal. Cd cases are almost two dimensional, they don’t have depth, so it is easy to display them in CoverFlow without distortion.
But then Apple extended the CoverFlow view to the whole system with the introduction of Leopard at the end of 2007. Also in Leopard the native size of icons are 512 x 512 pixels to enable us to view CoverFlow in bigger sizes. Now here comes the BIG PROBLEM. This won’t be boring! Read on!
