Tuffmail is designing a new logo

Berenburger · 9 Jun 2010, 07:13 AM

Any creative members here? There's a contest going on to design a new logo for Tuffmail.

I'd be curious to see the results, myself (not that I ever had a problem with Tuffmail's existing logo)

I wonder what brought this on?

You'd think they'd be more worried about their 1987 website design..

Maybe this is a part of a (coming) new web design.

You're probably right.. But this idea would negate my joke.

What's the link between the cogwheel and email

To me the logo conveys work, solid, reliable, no nonsense -- just what Tuffmail's public image is.

It is indicative of the cog wheel of a watch janusz! and reminds one of how Tuffmail (like an old time watch) just keeps 'ticking away'

Sure. From their design brief

Tuffmail is geared towards technically-inclined people

(my emphasis). All is clear now

I'm sure that the designer took that description into consideration, and Tuffmail liked it.

kmail presumably. I think it's an unbelievably lazy design.
