No doubt, man has made a lot of giant strides since the beginning of his existence on planet earth. He has been able to survive several periods including the Dark, Stone, Iron and Jet Ages. Now, he voyages
in the Information Age—Man is a great survivor.

But imagine a world without patriots! They are loyalists—men and women, boys and girls who love humanity and stand by proper ideals and great innovations. We’ve known patriotism to be a person’s love for his nation but it goes beyond that. “The world is my country…”, said Thomas Paine. Hence there are men and women who through innovation, sacrifice (of possessions and their own lives) are actually world patriots.

To be factual, there are unsung patriots who have defied the odds inthe little corner of the world where they have found themselves. They were change agents and many of those tiny seeds they have sown have become great oaks under which nations now find rest. However, there are those that are well known—men that made us fly, gave the world electricity, stopped the slave trades and did several exploits that have made the whole world indebted to them.

But great patriots are not without logos—symbols that inspired them to forge on in spite of severe criticisms and persecution. Either created or adopted; physical or intangible they were driving forces. Symbols of nations, communities and great causes keep inspiring several patriots across the globe. It is a matter of “never give up”until we achieve a better world.

The fashion industry, no doubt, is one of humanity’s most indispensable fields of endeavor. Of course, clothing in addition to food and shelter, make up man’s basic needs. However, in spite of the great importance of the fashion industry, one of the factors that have added much glamour to it, are logos. In fact, modern fashion companies indeed capitalize on creative logos and labels, in addition to merit in cloth making.

Marks and Spencer, Giogio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Timberland and several other grand designers are indeed been celebrated; also, because of the logo stamps on their products. Sincerely many there are today across the globe, who cannot put on clothing void of a favorite logo!  

So as the world continues to attain greater heights even with respect to technology, the fashion industry is also growing rapidly takes in its own doses of hi-tech. Now the designs are more enthralling than ever; and the logos more fascinating as they sit impressively on ‘wears’.

Certainly, a good fashion logo should exude a blend of simplicity and charm. What’s more, several decent people do not enjoy scary images; so it is just sensible to avoid that. Indeed, a modest image that goes with virtually every divide will suffice as a fashion logo.

Without any speck of doubt, works of lasting legacy are most of the time, principally, direct products of inspiration.

Inspiration permeates every aspect of human life. The brilliant poet, the astute business man, the inventor, and pioneers in fields such as science and engineering derive ideas and strength from times of inspiration.  The several wonders that have been conceived by man over the millennia can be traced to seasons of unique “flashes” on the mind, gradual assimilation, or a particular motivating power. The world’s greatest logos are not left out too! They are definitely shoots from minds fertilized by inspiration.

Candidly, there is no stereotyped route to the orbit of inspiration. Over the years, several people have been inspired in diverse ways. Several great and highly revered minds that have tread our planet experienced inspiration in unique ways. It can erupt from innate passion, quiet, religion, the beauty of nature and life, happiness, love, persona, music, community, friendship, ambience, great challenges, even adversity, among several others.

Overall, in the sphere of logo creation, just like in other fields of human endeavor, inspiration is indispensable in the pursuit of excellence. Whatever generates it, the end is that: the logo must emerge exceedingly enthralling!

Without doubt, physical fitness therapy has been with man since ancient times; and images such as logos have been instrumental to the propagation of the necessity of raising healthier people in society through physical fitness programs. In modern times, fitness centers have gained better recognition, and more of their merits are being discovered almost on a daily basis as a result of advancement in medical science and also, physical and health studies.

However, due to the wide occurrence of obesity in recent times; which has resulted in widespread demand for weight loss or fitness therapies, most people have reduced physical fitness to only “weight loss”. On the other hand, Ulrich Celeste, Professor at the College of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, Oregon University defined Physical fitness as “the ability of the human body to function with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with ample energy to engage in leisure activities, and to meet physical stresses”. He further expressed that “Muscular strength and endurance, cardiorespiratory integrity, and general alertness are the overt signs of physical fitness”.

But even with the increasing popularity of physical fitness courses, many are yet to come to terms with its essentiality. It appears most people only commit themselves to it after they find themselves in health problems; whereas, exercises and other fitness schedules should be a part of everyone’s daily life. And to the logo designers, there is more to do in order  to give fitness centers and programs the best imagery that will depict how vital a good physical fitness plan, diligently adhered to, can be to healthy living.
