The logo conundrum...
1 BEFORE WE USED:
©
Lawernce Lessig 2010.
THE © Symbol Became associated to a FEELING of QUALITY and
RELIABILITY because many moons ago printing paper was expensive.
2 ENTER THE NET
© Lawernce Lessig Blog 2010.
Bloggers start using this © symbol because it is
cool and it gives a sense of reasurance that they are producing
quality work AND as a way to put a label that says:"Hey I made this"
without looking too silly.
3 ENTER Creative Commons.
Creative commons releases a dozen of Logos that producers can embeed in their work
to show
"Hey I made that AND I am cool about copyrights" BUT
4 As designer
Leesean would say: This logos are NOT NEAT and many ppl arround the world never heard about the commons concept!
5 We need something as easy to embed as the ©ASCII for example and THAT CONNECTS with layman!
