The Oak Bros. logo took me awhile to figure out. Also, did you notice all of the hidden symbols in the "in woods" logo? There are 4 in there.

I hope we see lots of these from startups. The technique produces simple, meaningful, and memorable logos which also look really good.

The FedEx logo is the first time I noticed the negative space technique and really sparked my interest in branding. It's amazing how such a simple mark can represent so much.

The article is meant to present the concept and provide inspiration for other artists; it's not a treatise on the history of the technique. I plan to update it as I find more clever examples.

I had the same thought as I went back to append the names of the artists in the collection. I have seen lots of great logos designed by women as I've scoured Dribbble, just not so many using the negative space technique. What does that say? Maybe men and women perceive design differently? This would be an interesting topic to explore.

We need to treat our data like we treat our email. Define the common attributes comprising data within a particular application and define how to access that data (through an API). Come up with a common vocabulary for all data (crowd-sourced based on the current stewards of that type of application) and tie those calls into user identity providers (again, built around the common attributes of a user identity). Every interaction between apps and users goes through the user to collect permissions. Permissions are based on signals gained from all other interactions that have passed through the user identity provider. Signals like how often you interact with the app or user requesting the data, which topics you've interacted on previously, etc.. Data is still stored on separate app providers, but we now have simple access. The app provider uses the signals to build permissions specific to their application. Users can transfer their data from one provider to the next easily since all of the data definitions have been translated (assuming the apps are similar in nature).
