Press Release: New Logo!

DavidMeade.com has a new logo! Crowds of people waited in hushed anticipation yesterday when David Meade himself was to unveil the long awaited new DavidMeade.com logo.

“The world has been waiting,” said one onlooker “for the logo! The new site layout is great and all … but we need the logo!” The crowd was mercifully appeased only moments after David Meade appeared in the pressroom at DavidMeade.com world headquarters. DavidMeade.com fans and the press were thrilled to a 4 foot chrome sculpture of the logo with it’s elegant curves and foreboding edges.

“Known affectionately here in the DavidMeade.com studios as ‘The DM swoosh’,” quipped Meade, “this logo brings a long needed polish and sense of identity to DavidMeade.com.”

The DM swoosh was designed by a consortium of the worlds greatest artists (on loan from The Meade Institute for Deep Thinking), and then hand crafted by master metal workers. The swoosh is a striking and welcoming symbol of DavidMeade.com as its image now graces a sleeker, smaller, and more efficient redesign of the web site’s page headers – which were quietly released yesterday.

The design of the swoosh is meant to incorporate the initials D and M and the artists were instructed to design a “clean, powerful, and striking image” that would “immediately identify a web page or other media as being affiliated with DavidMeade.com.”

“I couldn’t be more happy with the result of all our work here.” said Meade.

When asked if the logo was at all related to the much anticipated release of the DavidMeade.com Video Blogs, Meade would only say that “The DM swoosh may grace the design of DavidMeade.com and all media which it as an organization produces.” and then smiling added “…we’ve already got the logo worked in to the next trailer.”

When pressed on the issue of copy rights David explained “All works produced in the United States are automatically copyrighted. Most of the end works produced here at the DavidMeade.com studios are further licensed under a creative commons license allowing for their distribution and limited reuse. The logo, however, retains all rights and may not be used outside of a DavidMeade.com production without consent.”

Attendees were also given a small pamphlet more fully relating the design elements of the swoosh, information about the artists, and a graphic showing the swoosh serving as the D and M in David Meade.

While David would not discuss merchandising ventures, one of his aids later conceded that “Clearly, with such an attractive and distinctive representation of DavidMeade.com now available, some marketing options open up.”

“It’s a great time to be a DavidMeade.com fan!” said DavidMeade.com Community Relations Director. “The web presence just keeps getting more and more exciting and we’re all ramping up very quickly for the upcoming release of the DavidMeade.com Video Blogs!”
