Blog Logo

By David Marsden @anxiousgardener
I’ve been playing around trying to design a logo for the blog.  Not sure why but it keeps me off the streets.Do you own a billhook?  If your garden comprises mostly soft herbaceous plants and planted up pots then you probably don’t need one.  But down at the Priory I use one quite often.  It’s a great, if slightly alarming, tool for cutting beanpoles and the like, removing the side branches off  larger branches and, of course, hedge laying.  Not that I’ve laid a hedge in my life.Anyway, thought I’d try to incorporate one into the logo.Blog LogoI was quite pleased with the effect but then realised that  actually it is  far too apocalyptic.  The billhook looks  like a weapon that a Viking warrior has just whacked into a wooden  post whilst he takes a breather from all that rape, pillage and slaughter.Perhaps not quite the message I was trying to convey.
