Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps. Michael Phelps. You cannot get away from the hottest name in the world right now. Everyone in the greater Washington DC area seems to have some story about the “greatest swimmer of all time”. This guy has a friend who knows a guy who knows Michael. That girl’s grandmother tried to set her friend’s great niece up with Michael a few years ago, etc. I personally have 5 different stories about the Olympian which place my my wife and me only a couple of degrees of separation away from him. However, the biggest and most impressive story is the one about an acquaintance of mine who is currently designing his logo.
Every sports star has his or her own logo which defines their personality and/or accomplishments. As it turns out, i have a good friend who is a graphic designer of such logos and this special design project landed on her plate before the end of the 2008 games. Interestingly enough, there were a couple of “possible” logos spec’d out which were not put into production until he won 8 gold medals (the design was based on that feat). Now that he has done the duty, his logo is in full production and we will all be seeing it very soon. I didn’t think that the idea of the design was particularly that creative, but if the project stays on track, we should all keep an eye out for a golden 8-ball to hit the market later this year…
