I’ve posted a sampling of recent and past logo design work over at Behance. net. Take a look at the logo design portfolio and then search around the site a little.

1. Lot’s of other freelance graphic designers have work here, and I’m following the crowd 100% on this one.
2. I have come across a lot of other logo designers with their portfolio on Behance, and it seems the quality is very high in general.

As with any new website tinker-tool, we have to just wait and see what happens. It didn’t take long to get signed up and get a pretty nicely-formatted portfolio up and going, so I’m pleased at that much!
