A really interesting part of our project here is developing a new wordmark for Drupal. In this post, I discuss the way I approach wordmark development from a branding and typographic perspective.
Earlier this week, Mark Boulton Design were announced as the redesign partner of the Drupal Association to redesign drupal.org. Together with the outstandingly talented Leisa Reichelt and Carolyn Wood, the team at Mark Boulton Design are thrilled to part of this project.
