I'm not bored but I was intrigued by your post title so I head a little peek.

Basically a logo is an object that brands an identity. It should be instantly recognizable and should be distinct from that of your competitors. A well designed logo should also evoke an emotional response. It should scale well too (differing sizes).

How can we design your logo. If we look at your website it is hard to tell what A1st.us is all about.

Alright then, it is about high traffic web sites. So, we have to think of an object that can portrayed graphically and says high traffic.

My mind is ticking and.... bingo! I can think of a few things that would portray high traffic. How about a bank of high speed web servers sitting side by side? If you were a geek you would think that would be ideal but Ma and Pa Kettle would have no idea. So we maybe we should start thinking about which market to target. If you wanted the techie, web savvy market then the high speed servers would be fine but if you were going for a broader market you would choose something that the majority would associate with traffic.

When I think of the USA I think of large amounts of traffic on your mega lane freeways / highways or whatever you call them. One thing that sticks in my mind is the 'clover leaf' turnpike. So, you could place a top down image of a cloverleaf turnpike and then put your text over the top of that. Just make sure that everything is simple and dont go into too much detail.

Anyway, that's just one example but there are plenty more you can think of now. For inspiration have a look at TheLogoCreator. Hope this helps.

thats interresting stuff kitchen.

Maybe, you could use icons instead of pictures of the eagle and pc etc.
Icons are cool! As for the logo, I'm not totally feeling the cloverleaf idea, I think you should go for something simple, cause thats what your site is all about, finding something in the U.S with ease. But making a good logo is pretty damn difficult imo.

good luck!

Yeah, it's not something that I would want myself but it was just an example of how to come up with an idea for a logo which related to a site's identity and target market.

Just had a look.

I like it too. Being 3 dimensional it has depth and does not appear to be static. Simplicity is certainly better I think

The old AT&T logo was a flat 2 dimensional sphere. The new logo is an adaptation of the old. It makes sense to keep the same basic shape or design as everyone can easily recall AT&T when they see it.

The old text was in capitals. You will notice that the old text is made up of all straight lines. So why did they change to lower case?

I think that the lower case text was used because the text is composed mostly of curves. It mimics and reinforces the curves in the 3d sphere. I'm sure that the sphere represents the globe but curves also evoke an emotional reponse. A curved line or shape evokes a feeling of comfort or familiarity.

Or maybe I'm just talking out of my (_x_)
