When I approach a logo project, I sometimes choose a suitable font directly from the list of fonts available on my computer system, and then I create something like a corresponding icon/symbol/label to go with the font to complete the logo creation.
But this made me question my methods when designing a logo. The problem for me is that I've never felt completely satisfied, that I can claim that my logo designs are 100% my own work, the fact that I pull the font directly from my computer systems font list, which was painstakingly made by the font designer and use it as part of my own design
