IBM has recently changed their design for their professional certification marks and guess what, they look crap. That’s at least my personal opinion about this re-design.

That’s the new look for WebSphere:

and this for Tivoli:

Here is an example for how the logo looked like before:

Not that this is very important but I just don’t like it.

Last week I made my first Tivoli certificate at the Transaction & Messaging Technical Conference in Vienna. I hope that IBM will develop some sort of test for the Omegamon XE for Messaging as well soon, the ITM V6.1 test is way to general for my area of expertise.

My current certificates:
IBM Certified Deployment Professional – Tivoli Monitoring V6.1
IBM Certified Solution Designer – WebSphere MQ V6.0
IBM Certified System Administrator – WebSphere Message Broker V6.0
IBM Certified System Administrator – WebSphere MQ V6.0
IBM Certified System Administrator – WebSphere Business Integration Message Broker V5
IBM Certified System Administrator – WebSphere MQ V5.3

Would be nice to expand knowledge in the area of WAS (WebSphere Application Server) soon as well.
