Found this article a week ago in the New York Times, about graphic designer Steven Heller who traces the evolution of the tiny symbols for each Olympic sport since their appearance in 1936; the good ones, the messy ones, the artsy and such.
Watch the clip here:

enjoy!
Excelent Video showing the ridiculous situations clients force on many designers [as freelancers or studios] , although this could be applied to just about any service company you could think of!
hehe, Do you feel identified?
Every relationship has a story. “The Vendor Client Relationship” is a story that connected with more than half a million viewers in less than 14 days. When a story goes viral, it is finding a truth, touching a nerve or making people laugh. That’s what we do. It’s come as a surprise to many that this very viral video was created in Indianapolis, Indiana. It was. And that’s another story.

I found this Christophe Szpajdel interview by Klaus Pichler in VICE
You can see some of Szpajdel logos here:
http://www.viceland.com/int/v15n11/htdocs/dark-lord-of-logos.php
Vice: So, Christophe Szpajdel, we hear that you’re the master of black-metal logos. But who are you, really?
Christophe: I am 37 years old, I come from Belgium but I live in Exeter, Devon, in the UK. In the last 20 years I have drawn more than 7,000 logos, mostly for black- and death-metal bands from all over the world, including Emperor, Moonspell, Nachtmystium, and Enthroned.
So do you sit alone by candlelight in the uppermost chamber of a castle and draw sinister things all night?
No. Besides drawing logos, I am a forestry engineer and I have a regular job as a customer-service assistant in retail. I need a job to support my artistic activity.
Will you stab me with a cursed, ruby-encrusted dagger if I say that I think you’re inspired by the Art Deco and Art Nouveau eras?
No. I am a big fan of Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and the Vienna Secession artists. But most important is a school of calligraphy that I created and developed. It’s called Depressiv’Moderne, and it’s a result of the merging of Art Deco, depressive dark ambient, and the actual economic depression we are in right now.
You0ll find dark, funny, gory and even naive images in this videos!
check them out! are trully pure eye candy! ;9
