How Bizarre

I was rifling through the internet today in all my free time and I came across a bizarre find. I Googled a Dane Cook sketch about the Oprah show (very funny, should you be interested) during which Cook mentions a website where one can enter your address and see the sexual predators in your area. Curious, I clicked on to Family Watchdog and entered my address. Aside from several offenders living frighteningly close to my house, I noticed a familiar image on the right-hand side of the page.

Junior year, I was asked to design a logo for Buckeye Valley Local Schools. I consider this logo to be my best work as a graphic designer and have worked with it for almost two years now. Because of this, I can recognize it anywhere. On the right side of the National Sexual Offender Registry website, I spotted my Shield logo in faded blue as a part of the FamilySecure brand. Shocked, I zoomed in to double check. Yep, it was mine.

To be fare, the image is currently open for anyone to download from the BV site and I'm sure if you Google "shield" and click through the almost six-million images, you'll find it. It's just bizarre to see your creation, Photoshopped to fit a different color scheme, in a place you didn't really want it to be.

I've emailed the Buckeye Valley administration and requested copywriting for my Shield and Baron images.

Stay tuned for more...
