On November 30, 2003, the first Outono.net website was launched, the domain where my blog has been hosted since 2006.

Outono.net is the brand I have used as a designer since then. Although some people think it is an English name, I chose that word because "outono" is autumn in Galician, the season of the year in which I was born. I registered the domain on November 25, 2003 and designed that first website with Flash, an animation program that I was very good at. This was what that first website looked like:

Some time ago I decided to delete that website, since the Flash content passed away. In 2006 I installed my personal blog, Contando Estrelas, on this domain, until then hosted on Blogger.com. Initially, the outono.net domain led to the specific section of the blog dedicated to my work as a designer, but since I rarely updated it, I ended up directing it to the blog's cover.

In 20 years I have made designs for the most varied media: brochures, websites, fans, buses, vans, billboards, roll-ups, etc. I even made a design for a small plane. You can see a very small part of my work in my Behance.net account.

Outono.net's first logo was a maple leaf, an element closely related to the name of my brand:

In December 2008 I changed the logo, giving it a simpler appearance and changing the orange to green:

In 2012 I ended up adopting my bookplate, the Little Dipper, as the logo for Outono.net, matching the rest of the blog's logos. This is the version as it looked after the blog redesign in June 2015:

And this is the Outono.net logo after the last update in June 2013, with a change of typography and a change of color in the icon:

I am very lucky to work on something that I am passionate about, such as graphic design and web design. In these 20 years I have done so many jobs and so varied that it is difficult for me to remember them all. I pray to God to allow me to continue doing this for many years, without having the aspiration of becoming the rich man in the cemetery: I am content to live from a job that I love.
