Hi [FIRSTNAME]
     
What's
in a word? |
Well, in a word; everything. Everything you know about whatever it is that the word represents. Come to think of it vocabulary is a great big search engine. Your Logogram is your meta-content, your Platonic idea, your word. How good is your word? The world wants to know.
|
Now why I'm asking this is because it seems as if many business owners don't see the value of a logo, but they do see the value of their word. They get the value of a brand-name, especially since an Internet domain has become such an important feature. They agree with integrity in business, but it seems that for many business owners any old thing will do for a logo.
Well, I'd like to suggest that investing in a logo design is absolutely vital for a business that takes itself seriously, for exactly that reason. If you don't take your name, your image, your word seriously the implication to the uninitiated potential client is that you can't possibly take anything else seriously either.
They don't know how passionate you are, how meticulous, how productive and what good quality you produce... so let them know; in one glance you can tell them all they need to know. Make sure your logo is doing all that it must.
Give me a call, or e-mail me if you'd like me to design a logo for you.

The Power of Gestures.
Pranav Mistry asks: "Rather than using a keyboard and mouse why can I not use the computer in the same way that I interact in the physical world?"
And what a question it turns out to be!
"The Goal," he says, "was to connect these two worlds seamlessly."

Google maintaining your Versionity
Have you ever ended up with 10 versions of the same document in your efforts to collaborate digitally? Frustrating isn't it? Well then it's time to stop attaching documents to e-mails, and start attaching your e-mail to documents:
Google Apps are coming at us thick, fast and incessantly. Any self respecting conspiracy theorist (such as myself) may feel a little edgy about remote computing; but that's the way this river's flowing. Either we get in the stream or we get stuck in a little side eddy.
