Most of the corporate logos that represent the sponsors of this blog have been scavenged from around the internets. But a select few of them - Bailey Brothers, M&M Enterprises (Everyone has a share), Bromley Marks, Encyclopedia Brown, Ferris Aircraft, and Home Plus - were created by me on spec for the representative companies. Yet one of these creations stands above all the rest as a crowning achievement of this blog. It seems that my logo for Goliath National Bank, famous as the employer of Barney Stinson and, until recently, Marshal Eriksen, has become the de-facto logo for GNB on the internets. Unlike almost all my other blog posts, which successfully achieve the goal of complete and total obscurity, the one that bears the GNB logo actually draws noticeable levels of web traffic. If you search Google Images for "Goliath National Bank", my version of the GNB logo is in the top line of results. This apparently leads to a few deluded souls to click through to the blog entry that bears the picture. Certainly, the amount of traffic that the GNB logo generates is just a fraction of what a high quality blog like People of Walmart or dominant search engine like Infoseek does. But to me, this is as exciting as when my G.I. Joe post garnered comments by people who weren't my sister. So, yeah, we have now achieved the lowest possible level of internet success. Come for the Goliath National Bank logo, stay for my insightful ruminations on the awfulness of the now defunct R.J. Gator's.
