We’ve been working on our new layout and logo for the last moth or so, and it’s finally ready! The layout and the logo are designed pro bono for ArcticStartup by a good friend Sami Niemelä of Nordkapp.
Major Thank You to Sami(!) for not only the great job he did with the logo and the layout by capturing the essence of ArcticStartup, but also for being the nice guy he is and tolerating me constantly reminding him on it and breathing on his neck with all the self imposed deadlines that were mainly due to my and Antti’s last minute planning.
We hope that you’ll like our new look and feel as much as we do and you’ll recognize us more easily from our new logo wherever we roam pushing our agenda and reporting on start-ups making headlines. We’ll have some ArcticStartup t-shirts and stickers out soon so you can rock in our new look as well.
Disclosure: I work at Nordkapp during the days, while working on ArcticStartup all my evenings & nights.

Absolutely no problem guys, I’m happy to be able to help out :)
Is it just my Mac, or is the new logo a bit jagged? Or is that white stuff snow or even slush on top of the letters? ;-) Looks good anyway.
Samin,
Thanks again buddy!
Peter,
It must be Slush =)
Also regarding the logo + bg – Ville, let’s talk tomorrow. There’s a few tricks we could maybe try out to clean things a bit:)
Samin,
Sure thing. Am a faithful fan of ‘launch first, improve & iterate second’. This being no exception to the rule =)
Nice layout. But I would suggest a small change with the background image’s size optimization.
Looking forward to see Artic Startup become the Techcrunch of Finland.
Cheers guys,
“release early, release often” is our mantra just as Ville explained. I didn’t have enough time to make it perfect with the background and all, but we’ll manage for the time being :)
Looking forwards to more discussion in the comments! :)
Looks great guys, keep up the great bloggin’!
