Simon Oxley is a british designer who now lives in Fukuoka, Japan. He owns and runs his own design studio idokungfoo. One of his most popular artworks is the twitter logo. He designed the little blue bird that is used for twitter. I like the bird because it's so simple but at the same time unique. I also like the color, the light blue immediately grabbed my attention. He uses this strategy for many of his art pieces. He also designed the istockphoto logo which is a camera and the istockphoto text. A very simple piece but very cool looking. He also used the color blue in this logo.

I envy designers who have the sand to take on projects like this. Imagine Twitter coming to you and saying, "Hi. We're Twitter. We're gonna give you a bajillion dollars to make our bird different. Don't screw it up." That kind of pressure makes me want to cry.

The thing that I like about this is that he didn't go overboard. Things like this could have been done elaborately but I think the simplistic design was the way to go. I also really like the first one because it is a simple design but it has depth to it by the contrasting colors and the bottom with the stars. Also how the bird looks like it's leaning forward adds to that. I think that these were well done.

I like how simple his designs are but they still get his point across and capture the viewers eye. The color of the background with the twitter icon grabs your attention but it also doesn't take away from the bird design.
