    I have been working on a new blog - 'Tweet-sized advice for designers and design clients by seasoned professionals collected from questions posted on Twitter' - http://design-survival.com/ - I would gladly accept any advice for the site from Dribbble members.

    The logo has a few different things going on to cover the various topics I plan to post.

    Crossed pencils - This conveys the battle that is freelancing, when I started I felt that it was a real struggle and the crossed pencils represent this. It also covers the written aspect of the content.

    Wireless mouse - Communication, networking and the control over individual projects.

    Computer - The actual work aspect.

    The Book - Learning and personal development/ Time out to relax

    101 - Getting to grips with the basics, both design and business.

    It has been mentioned the monitor and mouse are a bit too curvy so would be interested to get a few more opinions.

    Nice logo Rich. I think that you're doing really big things for design community. This is small step for you but paramount for all of us. I guess this will lead me one step closer to go absolutely freelance :)

    Hey Andrej thanks for the comment, I got the impression you were a full time freelancer, planning on making the jump soon?

    I work at ad agency and I am a part time freelancer for now.
    I definitely want to be my own boss someday but how soon it will be...we'll see...

    Not really, but anyway being nine to five guy is not a good thing no matter what.
