Thanks to every Lloydie's favorite graphic designer, Stephany Lai, Rankmaniac 2012 now has a logo:

The official Rankmaniac 2012 logo

We're really excited about where the new Rankmaniac 2012 logo will take us! In the process of developing this logo, our team has learned a lot about the pros and cons of hiring a freelancer to provide a necessary service. While a small, growing company like ourselves cannot yet afford to hire a designer as a full-time employee solely for the purposes of logo design, a contractor like Stephany will always bring along ideas and priorities that do not necessarily align with those of the company. For example, take a look at the first image that she produced for us:

This logo clearly does a better job of representing Stephany's identity than it does of representing the identity and mission of our group. Nevertheless, she produced a great logo for us in the end and we are very appreciative of her hard work.

If you're interested in following our group's road map and progress as we continue our quest to rank among the best maniacs of all time, see the Rankmaniac 2012 Quora Board.
