Techlife’s Original

Valleywag’s timing is perfect
Ok, I know this is really not “my logo” it’s Joost’s logo. But this specific image I created for Techlife’s Joost articles. I spent the time to create it and thanks to the way Joost’s site displays their logo in a flash animation it is pretty cool that both Nick Denton and I captured this logo at exactly the same moment. After being alerted by readers about the logo capture similiarity, I originally claimed that Nick had swiped the image. But after watching the multiple minute looping flash animation, I realize we both just have a great sense of timing. Valleywag used it for their Joost finance post.
I have written about and participated in both Nick Douglas projects and Nick Denton projects as a good standing member of the community, hopefully they will consider this moving ahead. As we certainly have a matching eye and keen sense of timing, I would be happy to have Gawker hire me, as I do visual design for many of my clients. I could certainly create much more interesting imagery, if they so desire.
Thanks to a heads up from a few of you eagle eye readers on this.

Oh, don’t be ridiculous! I did a screengrab using Snapz Pro, from the Joost.com front page. I don’t even visit your site on a regular basis, and certainly wasn’t on it this morning. You’re the one that owes me an apology for jumping the gun.

@Nick - The Joost.com homepage doesn’t have a static image as their logo, it’s a flash animation that runs a few minutes long in a loop. It took me 5 captures to find an image that I liked. The odds of both of us capturing at exactly the same second of the animation is extremely high.
But obviously that is what must have happened. I have changed the headline and the article.
