Again, I would like to stress that this company did not pay me to “promote” their site. I stumbled across this site when I was doing some research and trying to steal some ideas for some of my other projects. So here it is - hickdesign. Well, this company is based in the UK and they do some pretty nice looking graphics and logos. If only I could afford to hire them and let them design me a solid logo which everyone will remember and recognize. You can browse through some of their work and you will be amazed at their logos and icons. You know the logo for Firefox (looks like some fox whose tail is on fire), it’s designed by them!

The main thing that attracts me to this site is the way it is designed. It’s made up of simple shapes (CSS based) with clear and very beautiful graphics. Nothing super fanciful and they don’t have any flash or whatever. Just good placement of their graphics making it extremely pleasing to the eye. And what a superb colour theme and combination they have too! I think the way they present their site in such a way that it feels simple, yet complicated enough to impress me. The designers certainly have some skill and might I add, taste. I always wondered the amount of patience and hardwork to create such a masterpiece. And just think of the amount of time needed to create those little icons and graphics! If only I have the skill and the patience to do that.

They also do web designing for their clients as well. I visited some of their sample clients’ sites and I am again impressed by what they have done. They seemed to take a lot of pride in doing their website which is rather rare at this age and time. And by seeing what they have done, it has sort of inspired me to re-do some of my other projects. I really hope I get a better result. If you find any nice looking websites or blogs, please let us know so that I can err…..get inspired by it.
