Business Card and Letterhead Design

Problem: “I’ve got a logo, but no business card or letterhead!”

Solution: It’s important to not just slap your logo on a business card with your name on it. The look of your company doesn’t stop with a logo, but should be carried out in a package of items. You start with the design of your logo and then carry that theme to a business card and letterhead designed just for you. From your business card, to your letterhead, to your website, if your stuff looks put together, so will you.

Logo Design

Problem: “I’ve got a brand new business that needs it’s own mark!”

Solution: You’ll need a mark that stands out, but is easy to read, easy to read in LARGE print or small print, in color or in black and white. One that looks good on a website, as well as in print. Your logo will be all of these things, and visually represent what you’re all about.

Problem: “I'm pretty sure I know I want, I just need to get it put together!”

Solution: You’ve got your domain name figured out, you know what the content needs to be in your site, and you may even have a rough drawing of what you think your site might look like. Now you just need some one to put it all together for you. I can work from scratch or work off of your ideas. I can also do a redesign of an existing site. You should expect to receive 3 unique drafts of your site. Once you selected one of these drafts there will be unlimited revisions until we arrive at your dream site. From there your site gets put together and put on the web for the world to see!

Simple Rules to an Effective Logo Design

Quality #1 – Simplicity
Look at any effective logo and what you'll find is simplicity. Easily recognizable at a glance, simple logos draw people in. Busy and cluttered logos overwhelm people and can confuse them, leaving them to wonder what the busines is about.

Quality #2 – Proportionality
Generally logos work best when they fit in to a neat square space. They have to work on a multitude of mediums from web sites to t-shirts to possibly even billboards.

Quality #3 – Small Color Palette
More than 1-3 colors on a logo will make your logo look muddy. Again, look at some of the most famous logos and what you'll see is just 1-2 colors.

Quality #4 – Easily Legible Fonts
What's more important than being able to read the logo? Fancy fonts when reduced in size become illegible and inevitably your logo will end up small somewhere. Pick clean easy-to-read fonts for your logo.

Quality #5 – Practical, Usable and Adaptable
Again, with the idea that your logo will end up in a variety of mediums it's important that it be flexible. Design your logo first in black and white before adding in color. Avoid gradients as when reproduced in some mediums the gradients don't turn out well.

Quality #6 – Originality
A logo should be as unique as the owners of the company. You need your logo to tell people why you're different from the competition. You also need your logo to be something you can trademark.

Quality #7 – Works Within Industry Conventions
Within an industry you may discover similarities among logos that help prospective customers recognize a business as being within the same industry. It is important to know about these similarities and to incorporate them without sacrificing originality.

Quality #8 – Captures the Personality of the Company
Finally, your logo needs to convey who you are, what you do, and what makes you unique.
