		<description><![CDATA[The death of the Crazy Like That puppy dog logo and the birth of geek.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_257" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://OldLogo"><img class="size-full wp-image-257" title="2nd CLT Logo" src="http://www.crazylikethat.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/clt_dot_com_ad1.png" alt="Second Crazy Like That Logo" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Second Crazy Like That Logo</p></div>
<p>Nothing says, &#8220;cute&#8221; like an adorable, goofy faced dog.  As much as I love puppies and anything else with four legs, Crazy Like That&#8217;s puppy dog logo did not speak geek.</p>
<p>After spending many hours coming up with logo design alternatives, mostly with mathmatical symbols, I ran my creations past <a href="http://www.twitter.com/base10">@base10</a>.  We both agreed, some were ok, but none of them said, &#8220;run with it.&#8221;  Frustrated and feeling disappointed, we discussed what says geek.  @base10 wanted to look at the matter logically. I wanted to pay professionals who knew what the heck they were doing.</p>
<p>Our current italicized Minon Pro font said, &#8220;crazy&#8221;, but it left out the geek aspect.  He suggested we start by updating the text to use the Monaco font, since it has a computer style to it. As he mentioned this, he stared longingly at his terminal window, calling him back to his programming.  The terminal glared back and said, &#8220;you are such a geek.&#8221;</p>
<div id="attachment_552" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><img class="size-full wp-image-552  " title="Logo2.0" src="http://www.crazylikethat.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/Logo2.0.gif" alt="New Logo" width="240" height="36" /><p class="wp-caption-text">New Logo</p></div>
<p>Within five minutes, he stepped through the entire process of &#8220;what says geek.&#8221;  We tossed in a couple of dots between words for readability and ta-da,  we had something that fit the doctor&#8217;s orders.</p>
<p>We hope you enjoy our new logo and would love to hear your thoughts on our choice.</p>
