Blog Re-Branded
This blog has been re-branded to DesignWorkPlan. I’m sorry to inform that the previous name and domain of this blog could not proceed due legal issues. Thank you all for your kind messages about the shutdown. The past few weeks has been a quest for a new name to re-brand this blog about design, typography, signage, architecture, wayfinding and more. I have written down all tags that are important for this design blog and I’ve come up with the new name:
Design Work Plan
Still a few bits to do when everything is fully operational again, but from now on this will be my new playground. Please update your bookmarks to the new internet adres: http://www.designworkplan.com/ and the new rss feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/designworkplan.
New post ideas

With this short period of absence I’ve also written down the new mindmap giving me new and inspirational ideas for future posts here at design work plan. I’ve broken it down into categories and within minutes creativity started to flow into the new mind map. As you can see there are over 50 new ideas and I’ve started to prepare and gather required information to write the posts.
Previous Highlights
If you are new to design work plan you might enjoy some of the previous written articles.

I was about to email you to let you know that someone from designworkplan.com has completely ripped off your design after following an incoming link in my stats from your 14 logos, glad I clicked on home and read the “re-branded” post. I didn’t know you were experiencing legal issues with your previous domain, but I’m glad that you’ve successfully transferred all your stuff to your new domain and launched a new brand. Good luck with it, Sander. I too look forward to the future posts from your overwhelmingly inspirational mind map :)

Hi Vivien, thank you for your comment. Appreciated.
The legal issue struck me as lightning, I decided to take down the old website and start working on the re-brand.
Thank you for the reminder, I will email everyone who commented on the old blog that the has been website re-branded. And I’m pleased to see the 301 redirect is working correctly. Thanks again.

Sander, just wanted to let you know that I’m afraid the Subscribe to Comments plugin here doesn’t work: I didn’t get any email notifications that you replied to my comment, even though it says below that I’m “subscribed to this entry”. Not sure if the other commentors had the same issues, but perhaps it’s something you need to check?

Thank you Vivien for checking the subscribe to comments plugin, hopefully it is working now.
Dank voor je bericht Vincent S!
Thank you David for the positive feedback, looking forward to post the articles from the mind-map. It amazed me how easy it was putting the map together. I recommend the mind-map to every blogger to increase the creativity.

Subscribe to Comments is working now. Glad you were able to fix it.
I’m curious to see how often you’ll be able to publish all those posts you came up with during your mind-map storm
I usually don’t have problems in coming up with post ideas, the stumbling block in my case is the lack of time :(

Hey Sander! I thought I had left a comment earlier, but I think I forget about it.
Anyway, I really like your new design. The typography is awesome and I am ready for your new ideas! Cheers!
