Client: Myself; A new service offering
Category: Consulting services for law firms and advocacy organizations
Since 2000, I’ve focused my consulting and designing skills in two areas:
When it came time to develop a logo for myself, I found it somewhat tricky to do so, given that while lawyers and advocates are sometimes one and the same (as in the case of the $100 million land use dispute that I helped to resolve, here), many times, they are ideologically opposites. For example, while I am a staunch advocate of limited, frugal government, many attorneys support expansions of state power and interference in citizens’ lives, and the marketplace.
The approach I took ultimately boiled down to coming up with a design that represents two things:
- The scales of justice: My quest for justice in all areas of life and society – both in the courtroom, and in the court of public opinion, hence, the scales of justice.
- The physical and digital pencil: My belief in the power of well-crafted digital media as the fulcrum that can balances the scale – implicitly, that as long as facts are presented, in context, the reasonably intelligent person can arrive at a good decision.
