Should We Switch to Online Ad Agency?

With the advent of online advertising and promotions via the internet, the world of advertising has undergone yet another revolution - this time it was different. While development and growth is definitely one of the key aspects of this revolution, but this time, we see a paradigm shift in the medium that is being used.

From various offline media, now we have moved on to online media or more commonly called - the Internet. And with advertising through online media taking birth, we see the mushrooming of different online ad agency and ad networks. An online advertisement agency is more like any other traditional ad agency; however they devise their strategy around a more powerful media.

What are offline ad agencies? Offline ad agencies are nothing but the traditional ad agencies that strategize and develop promotional measures around the offline media like television, radio, print media and OOH promotions. On the other hand, online ad agency is an agency that does the same thing but around a different media called internet.

When there is such a big shift in media, obviously the media plan does not remain the same. The main differences - payment model, the reach and penetration and the target audience. Is online advertisement more beneficial? Should we now switch over from our traditional agencies to online advertisement agencies? Well, the answer to this depends much on the message that you want to communicate, the product or service or the concept that you want to sell and also the kind of target audience that is your potential or existing customers.

Is there some sort of a competition between online ad agency and traditional ones? To some extent yes - as increasing part of the population prefers internet over the TV or radio (especially the working population, students and the young generations), offline media is slowly loosing the grip that they enjoyed till some time ago. But, there have been certain cases and projects, which displayed the right kind of media mix where all the media (offline and online) have been used in a way that not only has helped spread awareness of the product, but also brought the product to the target audience.

Build Awareness of Your Company Logo Design and Be An Eco-Friendly Business

Whether your logo consists of words, pictures or both, it is an instantly recognisable part of your business. It has the power to evoke positive feelings in previous clients, and perhaps even curiosity in people who could use your services in the future.

So just imagine being able to put your business logo in front of your clients on a daily basis. What's more, this form of advertising has the potential to last an extremely long time, promoting your business for years to come for one initial price.

If that wasn't enough, you can also promote your business as an eco-friendly company that puts the environment's needs first, and makes a conscious effort not to add to the already overworked landfills.

You can use your company logo in plenty of creative ways, but for a long lasting promotion that has real value you should put your logo on items which tend to be kept and used again and again - such as tote bags, for example.

A tote bag is indispensable for many people, and has a variety of uses - from taking it to the beach on holiday, to carrying the shopping home. It's a fantastic item to have handy as it folds up conveniently and tucks away when not in use.

All in all it's a great item to have your logo and business name on. Every time the bag comes out to be used, there is your logo - ready to promote your business in a positive and dynamic way.

All of which means your logo will be constantly seen - putting your business in the minds of your customers over and over again. Even though reusable bags will cost more initially, the message they send to your customers is a powerful one.

Not only is your business portrayed as a caring one, it also places a high value on its customers needs by providing them with a useful reusable bag that will prevent plastic ones being used once and then thrown away. Now that is a powerful image to send out to your clients.

Don't forget, your logo represents your business, and if you are using it to build awareness in this positive and dynamic manner, it's important to make sure your logo catches the eye. It might be worth getting a professional design company to revamp your current logo for you, in order to convey a more dynamic image.

Logos are meant to be seen. They form a vital part of the whole marketing and branding area of your business. Buying reusable tote bags that bear your logo will ensure you make a good impression, both now and long into the future.

What other item promotes your business as eco-friendly and customer friendly at the same time? You'll more than recoup the initial cost and the end product is also recyclable when it finally does wear out.

All in all, it's the perfect message to give to your customers.

Environmentally friendly bags are a fantastic way to promote your business and build your brand... and with Smartbag, designing a promotional bag for your business couldn't be easier! For a quote or to make an order visit Promotional Bags.

Simple Logo Gets Success

Creating a graphic logo design is an important task and should be considered as important as any other aspect of business. The logo can be a character, shape, tool of the business, or just some text. Your graphic logo design is the first indication to customers of the quality and status of your business. The logo should have style and be designed to reflect the company. A great logo would have both excellent concept and execution. The style of the graphic logo design should reflect the business' purpose. Most important thing in designing a logo is that the design should be Unique and simple. Both the things Uniqueness and Simplicity is equally important. A simple but repeated design will get fail and the chances of getting success of a unique but a complicated design is also very low. So keep in mind that a logo should be unique and simple.

Simplicity is the Key

One should repeat the word "simplicity" while designing a logo all the time. The image of the logo need not be confusing and complicated. Logo design should include as few elements as possible or needed. Using many elements just to create beauty may take all it's present beauty back.

Do not go for a complicated design, always remember a logo is not a piece of art but it is a symbol for your corporate identity. It is Good to have an artistic logo if it is the demand of the business or client but making it complicated may affect the image of company badly. Complicated designs are difficult to remember and are not easily recognized. Also, if Company wants to use it on pen, pencils or on any small thing it may loose all it's beauty and remain no more recognizable. If you see carefully you will get that all the big and successful companies have a very simple logo design. So it is proved that simplicity is the key to success.

Logo Design Tips

Logos can be described as visual icons that provide a unique identification element to a business or product. Logos provide quick visual recognition of a Company which in-turn builds branding. Business owners and overly enthusiastic artists can often go astray in their efforts to design the perfect logo. There are too many examples of logo designs that look uninspired, overtly abstract or seem to be nothing more than whimsical art. Many of these logos are designed without forethought into usage, application or even cost impact upon a business. So how do you create a logo that makes business sense? Consider following a few simple guidelines:

Remember that your logo is a business tool. Your design concept should begin with a commitment to portray your business as professional and competent. A logo is not an art piece! Avoid using elements that may give a “dated” look such as those 1970’s flowers that were on so many Volkswagen Beetle cars. A logo design should take into consideration how, when and where the logo will be used. A logo has a cost impact upon your business from the day that it is introduced. There is more to designing a logo than simply hiring an artist or online art shop to assemble shapes and colors – it is a business decision.

Create your logo using vector graphics software. Simply put, images done in vector graphics can be resized and maintain design integrity. There is no loss in clarity, sharpness or definition and the file size remains constant. A common program for creating vector graphics is Adobe Illustrator. Software like Photoshop, which works in pixels, is better suite to working with photos and texture style areas. You can create your original image in any software but have it redone in a vector graphics format before you print or reproduce your logo. After all, a logo is all about sharp image.

Avoid complicated and intricate designs. A logo that is too intricate hinders rapid visual identification. The viewer is required to “study” the image in order to mentally process the image and relate its identification to a given company. Note the simplicity and high visual impact of the Nike “Swish”, an excellent image. Another reason to avoid complicated designs is that they do not reduce well. A busy, intricate logo on the side of a company truck may look wonderful but when the same logo is reduced in size for use on a business card it may become a meaningless blob of ink. Keep it simple and clean.

Limit color selection to a maximum of three colors. Ideally use one or two colors but never more than three. There are three main reasons for this guideline. One, your printing costs for printing business cards, letterhead, envelops, labels, etc. are increased for every additional color that you require. Your “cheap” logo design could end up costing you a lot of money. Reason number two, your visual impact or even identification could be diminished or completely lost in some mediums. Consider a logo that has overlaid images of different colors – looks nice, right? What about when you fax your proposal or letter and your logo is now in a black and white realm? Does the black and white (grayscale) version still provide distinction? An example of lost-in-translation logo is a peacock used to promote color and via fax it ends up looking like a turkey. A final note on color selection is to carefully consider cultural and marketplace standards. For example, red may be lesser choice for a medical company due to the negative association of red to blood/danger whereas green might infer safety or a positive status.

Consistency and control in font usage. Do not use over two font styles, as it may be distracting and confusing. Try to use a standard font such as Times New Roman, Arial, etc. as it makes commercial reproduction of your image easier. Any font style should be sans serif and typically non-script to improve clarity in small format reproduction. An exception is a logo/name where the logo is the script font such as the trade name of a popular soft drink in a uniquely shaped bottle.

Check Trademark and Registration Rights. While a new logo runs a low statistical chance of violating any trademark or registration rights of any existing logo it is not a bad idea to make some effort to confirm this before you publish your new logo. And after you have settled on a final logo design you should take the effort to register or trademark your own logo. If you need an example of why then consider the yellow pages “Walking Fingers” logo. The design was never trademarked or registered and has no copyrights protection – it could have been, but wasn’t – a huge loss of value for the original creators.

9 Free Webmaster Tools You Can Fall In Love With

Webmasters and developers don't need a whole lot of money to spend on tools in order to work efficiently and be productive. Here is a list of free tools that help me run my everyday webmaster chores.

Notepad++

Dreamweaver and such designing tools might have become very advanced in the recent years but I am still far from satisfied with them. I prefer to do the coding with a simple text editor and be in total control of the code and not end up with unnecessarily long code. Recently I discovered Notepad++ which has the few bells and whistles that are desired by hard core programmers such as code highlighting, Regular Expression Search/Replace support, capability to extend functionality with plugins and nice depository of contributed ones. Worth your attention.

Filezilla

If you are like me and don't use WYSIWYG editors to do your HTML/CSS designs then you are probably need or are already using a standalone FTP client to upload/download files to and from your server. Filezilla is a free tool that I have been using for some time and has not failed me. New version 3 has lots of new features, if you are FTPing stuff often maybe you should check it out.

Xampp

XAMPP is an apache server distribution that integrates php, mysql, phpmyadmin and a bunch of other great open source projects into an easy installation. It can be used on production servers to host one's sites but I mostly use it locally to code and test my html/css/php projects. Its easier to develop locally because there is no need to upload files on servers everytime, and only upload when your project is complete. It can be installed on Windows/Linux and lots of other platforms and if you are serious about developing you should get it installed in your computer and start playing with it.

Google Analytics

Google analytics is a free website statistics package that anyone can easily integrate into their website in a few minutes. Analytics once installed on your website it gathers data and presents you with reports about which sites your visitors come from, what country they live in, how long they stayed on your site, which pages were more popular and a whole lot of reports that you will likely not need another statistics package for you site. Those statistics are vital to the progress of any site in order to understand a site's audience and find things that might need to be improved. You can create as many analytics accounts as you like (unlimited number of sites) as long as your total pageviews don't exceed the monthly allowance of 5 million.

Firefox

Mozilla Firefox is not only a great browser to surf with. Firefox was build with extensibility in mind and has given developers a way to extent its functionality with add-ons. Add-ons can enhance the capabilities of Firefox and enhance the browsing experience. There is a whole lot of add-ons in the Mozilla repository that can help you with task such as bookmarking, searching, social interaction, developing, news reading, downloading to name just a few categories. Some of the following favorite tools of mine are actually Mozilla Add-ons. Its definitely worth your attention.

SeoQuake

Seoquake is a Mozilla add-on that was created with the SEO professionals in mind. It will help you gather important statistics about a website or web page with the touch of a button. Such statistics include PageRank, indexed pages, Google backlinks, Cached date etc. One can also extend it/configure it to gather other important statistics from online services not already included in it.

Firebug

Firebug is yet another Mozilla Add-on; a webmaster tool that can help you understand and debug your javascripts. It has so many bells and whistles that I am thinking of devoting a whole article on it. I will just mention the features that I use myself; Inspecting and editing HTML and CSS on the fly, debugging and running javascript on the fly, monitor network activity but there are many others. Here is a video tutorial I recently found that will help you get started with firebug debugging

Gimp

Gimp is an open source image manipulation package that can help you with photo retouching, image composition, format conversion and animations among other things. Its not likely to replace adobe photoshop any time soon but its a free alternative that has found many followers and through its plugin architecture promises to built the only image manipulation tool you will ever need. Some of its features are presented in a way of a presentation but nothing can convince you better than to actually install it and try it on your own.

Drupal

Drupal is a content management system much like wordpress but a lot more extensible. Wordpress is a good CMS (content management system) for simple sites and even though it has many plugins to extend its capabilities I would not recommend building anything other than a blog with it. Drupal on the other hand was built in such a way to be extensible. A programmer digging in its code will appreciate its flexibility, code quality, and modular design and simplicity for writing a new module. Drupal is was build from the ground up a tool for building community sites, and as a result it has many features to support such sites but it is also capable for supporting standard websites. Its learning curve is quite steep but it pays off in the end. Worth more than a look from you.

When Outsourcing Logo Design, How Do You Know What Makes a Good Logo?

Outsourcing logo design is a wonderful way to get an expert eye on your company branding. But how do you know when the outsourcer has delivered you a good logo? To make sure you get the best work out of your designer, it's best to learn yourself how to identify a good logo.

Identifying a good logo first requires a solid understanding of the purpose behind having a logo in the first place. A logo is one of any company's most integral branding elements, and as such should be fundamental in developing your brand identity. Your audience may or may not have any familiarity with the character, disposition, and core values of your company already. It is therefore the role of your logo to exude that information to anyone who sets eyes on it. Most of all, a good and effective logo should make a strong and lasting positive impression on your customers, existing and prospective.

Merely glancing at your logo should make a person think of your business. How to accomplish this feat? Whether you lean towards a font-based logo (100% text), an illustrative logo (clearly illustrating what work you do), or graphical (giving an abstract representation of your business), the same key design principles apply.

When outsourcing logo design, you should look for the following qualities in the finished product you're delivered. It should be:

- Attractive, catching the viewer's eye and appealing to their sensibilities, drawing them in and making them feel good. Colors should be pleasing, text should be legible, and images should be clear. Contrast is one design technique that helps make a logo attractive.

- Recognizable, identifying your company by standing out and distinguishing itself from the pack. Your logo should be unique, like your business.

- Memorable, sticking in the viewers' minds even when they're not looking right at it. Your logo should spring to mind whenever a member of your target market has a need your business can fulfill. Meaningful, conveying your business's unique message, and indicative of the distinguishing characteristics and manner and type of work your company does.

- Flexible, able to be used in a wide variety of ways - on dark backgrounds and light ones, on packaging, on signs, and on letterhead, in color and in black-and-white, over a website or a fax. Your logo should be versatile, able to be printed large and small, with and without color, and on all different sorts of mediums - all while still retaining its original integrity.

- Simple, with the number of fonts and colors kept to a bare minimum, and special effects avoided altogether.

- Unified, appearing as one singular unit, rather than a hodge-podge of several elements mashed together.

A great logo is the foundation of a strong corporate brand identity. Now that you understand the qualities that go into making a great logo, you can feel confident in outsourcing logo design to a professional, knowing that you have proper tools with which to evaluate their work.

Logo Design

A logo is a symbol that represents a particular company or a brand. Logos are a very important since they help in attracting customers. Remember that your logo is a business tool. The logo you have represents your very company. How it appears tells the potential customers what kind of business you have.

Your logo design should be unique, functional, and effective regardless of the size and attractive regardless of the color. It should also represent the brand/company image well. The ultimate purpose is for the people to recognize your logo and associate yourself with it. Make sure that your chosen logo stands out in the crowd.

A company’s logo should avoid complicated and intricate designs. Too complex a design hinders rapid visual identification and thereby defeats the purpose of the unique identification associated with the company’s logo. A busy, intricate logo may look wonderful but when the same logo is reduced in size for use on a business card it may become a meaningless blob of ink. Keep it simple and clean. Also, avoid using too many colors, highlights, special effects, etc. Most companies wish to use their logo for more than just a single application. Complex designs and color patterns tend to cost more to reproduce and often need to have an additional simplified version created. Another added expense.

A Text-based design is often text only with exclusive typographic behavior. You should prefer a Text-Based design when funds are tight; your company’s name is logically distinguishing but not a household word just yet. Good examples of this are: Yahoo and Wal-Mart.

A Letter-mark design is similar to text but is either an abbreviation or a company’s initials. Good examples of this are: IBM and BMW. Another type of design is Icon-based. This usually involves an abstract piece of art or picture. Good examples of this are the “swoosh” emblem for Nike or the apple logo for Apple computer.

Designers should be aware of copyrights and trademarks, and should be very careful not to copy any other logo. Using a person’s face, clip-art, third-party fonts, imagery or photographs, and culturally suggestive imagery should be avoided as much as possible. The use of too many effects like shadows, glares, embossing and photo imagery is also not recommended. The logo should also be flexible enough to retain its shape when printed on certain materials that tend to crease or fold.

Nature Logos

Nature logos are best used by companies that offer services such as cleaning and environmental protection programs. They are also best for theme parks and resorts that are located away from the hustle and bustle of the city and aim to provide a relaxing and serene environment to people who want to unwind and rest.

As apparent by the name, they incorporate nature and natural aspects in their images and design that give a sense of being closer to nature and environment. They can also be called environmental logos as they both work for the same cause that is promoting the natural environment.

Nature or environment logos make use of images and symbols that include natural settings and give a sense of outdoor and freedom. The most frequently images used in this regard are leaves, trees, butterflies, mountains, oceans and wild animals that aptly represent the outdoor settings very beautifully. These logos are designed keeping in mind the role of outdoor environment in our lives and how nature can affect us.

Most of the nature or environment logos are used by companies and organizations that are fighting to preserve the nature and save it from destructive agents such as pollution, land mining, wars and other things can cause disrupt this harmonious balance. These logos aim to display the friendly nature and the alluring aspects of nature that beckon people to explore and discover it by coming to the companies that offer these opportunities. They also combine other land and natural issues such as landscaping, irrigation, agricultural business and farming. They can be for companies as well as individuals who work closely associated with natural environment.

When designing a nature logo, it is very important to keep the earthy tones in mind as nature and earth go together. In this regard, the choice of colors also becomes limited as not every color can be used for nature and earth. The most common and suitable colors are green, blue, brown, yellow and other pastels combinations that give a soft and gentle look to the logo keeping in mind the nurturing aspect of nature.

Nature logos look best in outdoor environments that show a natural side of things to give them a touch of reality. The theme of nature logos centers around nature, focusing on the line of business you are in. They focus on being more natural, inspiring as well as rouse feelings of trust and emotions that are very strongly associated with nature.

Combined with environment friendly theme and selection of light colors, nature logo designs can go a long way in motivating people to bring their business to you. In this regard, a large number of logo design companies provide pre-made as well as custom design logos. Apart from them, nature logo templates are also available that portray the fauna and fauna as well as the other natural aspects and can be used for designing your company logo.

These natural logos go a long way in promoting the resorts, theme parks and other organizations that provide services related to nature offering solitude and relaxation. A crafty and imaginative nature logo can help people relate to it and bring you more success in business.

Logo Design Companies - What To Look For In A Logo Design Company

By: Hugh De Payen

Logo design companies are plentiful these days and those not familiar with the design process may not know what to look for. This article describes some of the things you ought to look for in a logo design company.

The Process

When you order a logo from a design company, they will get one or more designers to come up with one or more concepts based on what you have told them.

You will select the concept you like most and tell the logo design company of any alterations you require to the logo.

The logo design company will make alterations to the logo as per your request. This process of revisions will happen one or more times before a final logo is delivered to you.

The whole process can take anything from 24 hours to 5 days depending upon the particular logo design company in question and the amount of concepts and revisions that take place.

Do You Just Get A Logo?

On the low-end packages, yes.

On mid-range packages you can expect business cards too and on the higher-rated packages you'll also get a web site design thrown in. All this will be based off your logo design so that the same corporate identity theme runs throughout.

Prices

Before going any further it's probably worth commenting on prices. From a good logo design company, you can expect prices to range as follows:

• Low end, just a logo design: $200-$300
• Mid-range, logo design + business cards: $500-$600
• High-end, logo design + business cards + web site template: $900-$1500

Number Of Concepts

This is the first thing to look for. When you give the logo design company an idea of what you want, they will come up with a certain number of concepts to match that idea. Of course, the more concepts they come up with, the more choice you have.

A good company will give you 3-5 concepts on lower-priced packages and 6-10 concepts on higher-priced packages.

Number Of Designers

When they give you your initial concepts, it is often useful if they have been designed by more than one designer as this will generally add variety to the concepts you get.

The best companies will use at least 2 designers on low-priced packages and 5 or more on high-priced packages.

Number Of Revisions

The number of revisions you get refers to how many times you can throw the logo back at the company and ask them to rework it as per your specifications. Generally the lower-priced packages will allow 2-4 revisions and you usually get unlimited revisions on the higher-priced packages.

Turnaround Time

I wouldn't personally rate a logo design company on their turnaround time, providing it isn't ridiculous. I'd prefer them to take a little longer to get it exactly as I want it. However, most logo design companies will take 2-5 days depending on the package you ordered and the number of revisions you put it through.

Extras

You can expect to receive the completed logo in multiple formats to be used just about anyway you could imagine. You could also expect the better companies to give you gray-scale copies of the logos to be used for faxes and such.

With the mid-range and high-end packages, you can expect additional material from most companies. This usually includes things like business cards and stationary templates and - on the best packages - a set of web site templates too.

Many companies also give you some free business cards too. It's nice to get these but remember that getting the correct logo is the priority here.

Conclusion

What was once a very specialized job costing many thousands of dollars is now within reach of all small businesses for just a few hundred dollars. A logo is the starting point for defining your whole corporate identity and a good logo design company can help you achieve that.
