2 Ways To Get A Professional Logo

 

Let’s talk logos. A logo is important for a few reasons:

  1. If done well it conveys professionalism.
  2. If done really well it conveys deep meaning.
  3. Overtime your customers see it as a symbol of all they think and feel about YOU and your work.

I know what you’re thinking – ‘oh man another thing that I need to figure out’. The good news is that there are online tools that can help you. And if by chance you think the ‘big boys’ have this all figured out – you should realize they don’t. For example, GAP just went thru an epic screw up, which should comfort all of us – they’re human too. If you haven’t heard about this GAP fiasco, you can read this article by Marka Hansen, the GAP President. Then read the second article about how the logo change was a huge disaster.

Okay, so how do YOU get it right and check this important issue off your list. Here is exactly what we did to get our logo, and 2 resources you can use.

Facebook Fanpage with a Vanity URL…

Hi everyone,

Katie J just asked us about how to make a ‘vanity url’ in Facebook – (that’s where your page name is short and nice, instead of long and random). We’d never taken the time to figure that out ourselves, so we just figured it out – shared it with Katie, but also thought we’d share it as a post.

Obviously having your brand clearly represented in Facebook is a great idea. So, here is a link on how to do it: http://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/6109/How-to-Create-a-Facebook-Page-Vanity-URL.aspx

new website for libertyjaneclothing…

Hi everyone,

At long last our new and improved website is live. You can check it out at www.libertyjaneclothing.com. You’ll notice our partner page … If you are NOT listed there and want to be – let us know. So let us know if you don’t see your biz represented. This is a benefit of becoming a member of The Cutting Room.  If you have a logo – cool we’ll use it. If you don’t we’ll make you a simple black and white one.

You might also like the portfolio section. We are adding links to the various patterns used – it’s almost like a visual guide to which patterns we’ve used. You might see some of our work that you weren’t familiar with before… It will take us a while to get the links completely added. …and a while to get all of our outfits included…

Anyway, we wanted you to know about this because driving traffic to your sites is an important part of our promise to you. We’re hopeful this new method of driving traffic will help you. Let us know if you have questions, comments, or suggestions…or if you see an uptick in your visitors.

Thanks again for working with us.
