The 2 Minute Blog has been going for just over a month now and I thought it would be nice to take some time to do some branding for the blog.
I wanted to have a logo that had something to do with time, so I headed over to istockphoto.com and began searching for clock icons… then I found one for an hour glass.

You can get a 2 minute task done before an egg timer runs out. Brilliant.
So I found two concepts that I liked. The first is a traditional hour glass icon, from my favorite icon designer, Scott Dunlap. The second is a hour glass with wings on it. I like this concept because it shows that time often gets away from us, and we can harness our time better by accomplishing our two minute tasks.
