Personal Logos
If
you are looking for a more professional look for your web page and
your printed literature, rather than just putting your picture at
the top and a lot of text underneath you might want to consider
ordering a professionally designed logo. This can range up into
the thousands of dollars, unless you do some Internet research.
The average cost is in the $250 range but you can bargain shop.
A
company called Logos A Million is offering a 5th year anniversary
special price of 75% off with prices starting at $18, and GotLogos.com
has as its prices starting at $25. Another company has recently
opened a new division called Logos in a Box. They are offering logos
for those on a tight budget at a cost of $99. But be careful since
they do NOT offer identical products and services.
Here
is how it works at Logos in a Box. You look through their pre-designed
templates; you pick one that will work for you. Then you tell them
what colors you want along with some minor modifications and your
company name and voila. All of this can be completed on line in
48 hours or less. Other companies offer similar products with similar
turn around time.
Be
prepared by asking yourself some questions such as:
- How much
do I want to spend?
- What do I
want to portray?
- What color
or colors do I want?
- Do I want
it for the web or print or both?
Now
locate several companies and compare what they offer. It is also
important that you look at all of their information. Look at their
web pages. Do they look professional? Are their previously created
designs to your liking? Do you want to have a lot of input into
the creation of your design or would you prefer to rely on their
expertise? Then as with anyone that you might do business with,
check their credentials.
Having
completed everything, and with your shiny new logo in hand, place
it on everything that you do so that everyone who sees it will automatically
start to associate it with you and what you do. That includes web
presence, flyers, letterhead, everything.
