I’ve been asked by Anicom to do a daily doodle for the next year or so. I just started off handing them images of things I’ve been working on for them anyway, and then will start with sketches later on. I don’t think it’s up on the site as of yet, but should be soon. They will post it on their facebook page (which we are working on too) as well. I think that is a pretty good idea, so I may do the same.

The number of stolen images is absolutely staggering to be honest. Here is one simple example. You can just peruse the site and count how many you recognize from other corporations.

I checked out the link to the stolen Impala logo — Swift Sports — that too is fake. Falsified testimonial as well.

Here is some more of the blatant thievery below. These are so easy to pick out, honestly, I thought they would at least TRY to hide the fact that they were peddling stolen goods. Guess not.

I think there may even be a sports logo of mine up there for sale. And I’m not that prominent of a logo designer! In the past, if I was busy and didn’t have time to do a logo for someone, particularly if they are on a tight tight budget, I have recommended one of the DIY logo sites. No more.

Having a hard time getting the face track just right. Will need to make markers on the face next time.
