Other Added - I Hate My Logo! What You Should Get For Your Money and Why
Last week I attended the annual conference of the North American Simulation and Gaming Association. I have served on the NASAGA Board for the past six years. During that time I have served as the Chair twice and our company also has pro¬duced the annual conference.Never have I learned as much about myself at one of these conferences as I did last week. One of the things that became so clear to me last week—by the people, surroundings, and events of the conference—was the power of passion at work.I observed the passion with which many of the presenters and session leaders worked. It showed in their faces and work and, maybe more importantly, in the results they achieved in helping others learn more about their area of expertise. I observed the passion of the collective community of participants to seemingly never tire through a long conference program each day—with smiles and new friends and new ideas for their work.The conference was held near one of my clients, so I spent part of one day working with the client team. I arrived on the client site ready to work, but dressed differently than usual. I was wearing a tie—a sight increasingly out-of-place in this strictly business casual organization. They asked why

A logo design is composed of one or more elements of shape, type, and thematically chosen colors. In a glance, it conveys a substantial amount of information to the viewer, much in the form of short gut feelings that aren't vocalized —good, hesitant, authoritative, dignified, classy, upscale, expertise, cheap…the list is endless.
Your logo is a symbol that will stand on every piece of printed or electronic collateral for at least the next 10 years. Remember that thought. Changing your logo in a year because you don't like it breeds confusion and mistrust that spreads like weeds within your audience. Many people over look that fact when they have a logo designed from the Internet for $25.
Your identity is an extension of your business that communicates visually, through appearance, and emotionally, through symbolism. Curtailing or ignoring thought, revision, and growth in the design process will hurt your finished product and corporate image. A good graphic artist will lead you through the design process. He or she will help visualize your company as the world sees you.

What if there were no Franchised Brands? What if none existed? Some believe that might be better, yet others point to the fact that there would be less choice and fewer small businesses. Did you know on this particular point of contention that there are 450,000 or more franchised outlets in the United States? That means a lot of small business owners who may not have had the expertise or know-how to go into business for them selves, now enjoy their American Dream of being self-employed. You can find lists of franchised outlets available if you want to own one;www.Franchising.orgThe failure rates of franchised outlets over the normal small businesses are said to be reduced because franchises come with a proven way to do business, which is duplicated time and time again. There have been studies and some of the research has been debated but most agree that franchising is a safer investment then going it alone in a small business. But what if these franchises were not available and you had to take a risk on your own? Well, many believe there would be fewer small businesses out there and that would not be good for our Nation’s economic engine at all. In fact each one of these franchises hires some 15-30 people on average a

If you have bought into the practice of "image or personal marketing," it's time to take a fresh look at what today's consumer really wants. The 80's and 90's were the decades of image and personal marketing. Marketing experts advised Realtors® to prospect using a personal brochure. "Tell the consumer about how many houses you sold. Use your glamour shot that illustrates how professional you look and don't forget to include it on your business card as well." What seemed like a good idea ten years ago can be the kiss of death in today's consumer oriented environment. Increasing your business in this environment may call for a quantum shift in your approach. A simple place to begin is by changing your business card.
