Leighton Hubbell - Illustrative Designer

This past week I was able to visit the LeMay Automotive Museum in Tacoma, Washington during my family vacation. It is home to the world’s largest individual collection of cars in the U.S. and was started way back in 1946 by Harold LeMay, an entrepreneur and business man.

For those of us that are into things automotive and automotive-related, it is an interesting and quirky collection of more than 3,500 cars and memorabilia.

Here’s a time lapse of a recent logo illustration I’ve done that includes a mother kangaroo with an infant in her pouch.

Last week, a rather spirited discussion arose after there was an announcement by Chris Brogan saying that he was looking into launching a design contest on 99designs. Well, needless to say, a handful of designers were quick to react and try and educate Mr. Brogan about their surprise and disapproval of such an idea.

After much back and forth, Chris posts the question, "Designers: so besides cost, educate a business person why one beats the other. Blog your answers? I'll link to a few in my post." It's interesting that he would ask this question, because it appears that this isn't readily apparent to the average business owner.

Well, I am here to help.

I just received word today that the logo I designed for the Port of Long Beach's Seaport Sustainability Symposium will be included in the upcoming LogoLounge 6 volume by Bill Gardner and Catharine Fishel, published by Rockport Publishers. This will be my seventh LogoLounge volume that my work has appeared with nearly 70 honored logos.
