The Monday morning coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, so instead of thinking, I used this to build a new Web 2.0 logo.

After all this time, we’re still in beta! I saw Sean had tried it last week, and this week it was Joe Thornley who gave it a whirl, and so I figured it was my turn. If your image needs a makeover and you have a $0 budget, why not use this?

People will think you paid a branding company a small fortune for it!

Estimated time to build: 7 seconds.
