One of the most important aspects of identity is a logo. A logo can say everything a viewer needs to know about a company or a personal website. However, logo design is not an easy task. Even the simplest of logos often take a lot of time and thought and may cost thousands of dollars.

In today's world just about everyone has a website and everyone needs some sort of identity to make a presence on the web, You don't want to spend a lot of money on a logo but you are certain you need something to set you apart. This is the idea behind Shaboopie logos.

So we hope our free logos create an identity for your online presence or at least inspire you to pursue your own designs. Below is the few examples of our logosdesign PSD file format for free download.

The skateboard has been a favorite medium of artists for decades. Not only does it provide a sturdy surface to paint on, but it offers a great way to have your artwork be seen in the community. Skateboarding culture, which was once looked on as a short-term fad for rebellious teens, has established itself in society.

A wide range of artists have opted to put the canvas aside and go with the unique shape of the skateboard as a way to get their artwork out. In this article, we showcase 40 amazing skateboard designs that blend various design styles. Whether you used to skateboard, currently skateboard or have never stepped on one, these skateboard designs will surely lend inspiration.

There are many trends we see popping up in web design, but one that seems to really making a surge is a trend toward dark sites. I'm guessing it has something to do with everyone going "green" these days, and trying to do what they can to help the environment. I don't know if dark sites save much energy, but the sites listed here are stunning! They use the dark to create drama. Adding color to a dark design creates a rich and tasty contrast, and one of the most common features of these sites is the saturated imagery. If you're anything like me, you study amazing sites for inspiration, and hopefully, these won't let you down.
