Logo Rainbow
Imagine if Pantera and Panera switched logos for a day?
Logo Rainbow
All the way across the sky.
What does it mean?
Hoarders.
A new sports-bar where the beer has mold floating in it, the waitresses are unkempt elderly pack-rats, and the restrooms are a pile of Hefty bags in the stairwell.
And the food… well, it’s almost as bad as Hooters.
It occurred to me last night that this little head is seen by more people each day than anything else I’ve ever drawn. It’s the default Tumblr avatar.
For years I shared the same office space with David Karp, the wonderkind Internet entrepreneur. In April 2007, he walked over to my desk and asked me to design a little head logo for this new application he was building called “Tumblr.”
I drew a couple versions and he picked one.
It’s still the default avatar (for the time being!) I certainly didn’t realize how huge Tumblr would get but I should have because…Tumblr is AWESOME!
