Here’s a really simple hook you can use right away. And the results are really fun. Did you know you can theme your admin area in WordPress? Now you can’t make a theme for it per se. But it’s real easy to swap out your own logo and to alter the fonts and colours. I always do this on my themes as I prefer darker colours all around normally. Let’s take a look at how this works.

Voodoo Press Logo Starting Point

Well, thanks to a great effort from my brother-in-law, I have a starting point for a cool logo for VoodooPress. The process will pretty much work out just like the Voodoo Empire logo. I now have a cool drawing, from here I just tweak and play until I get what I want. My goal is to have some cool swag made up before heading out to some WordCamps, etc. I’ve even been considering doing some contests…. on both sites for some cool gear, maybe sweatshirts, t-shirts, etc. So here is the basic starting point drawing, he’s kinda cute eh?
