My Manifesto
I think it’s amazing sometimes that people in the same line of work find themselves on a similar path. Kim Doyal, aka “The WordPress Chick” recently posted her manifesto after experiencing some “creative frustration” (my interpretation). She inspired me to create my own manifesto, which I’ve added here. It doesn’t matter if you’re the creative type or not, if something resonates with you like it did with me when I read Kim’s, then I encourage you to create your own. . My Manifesto by Rudy...

Cleaning out some files for the new year, and ran across a handwritten sheet of inspirational thoughts gathered from various friends, sites and seminars. Thought I would share them with you as you plan for 2012. May it be your best year yet! Have a mind open to everything and closed to nothing. Be free of attachment. You’re not able to give away what you don’t have. There are no justified resentments. Send blame out of your life. Take responsibility for your life and situation. Don’t die with your best music left in you. You are not...

New logo created for Dolan Gadoury, whose Quantum Transformation company is assisting people the world over in the areas of personal and business development. Because of Dolan’s interest in Eastern philosophy we incorporated some of those elements into the logo design, which Dolan commented on: The logo you have come up with is awe inspiring. The orange you used is a sacred orange in the Hindu and Buddhist religions, worn by yogis and monks, it very much resonates with me. We are looking forward to collaborating on some other upcoming...

Please tell us how to fix our sucky logo. Excuse me? That was how the conversation began with a potential client (who did end up hiring us to “spice up” their logo). The client wanted us to review their current logo and tell them what was wrong with it and wondered if it could be fixed. They had certain elements that they liked and wanted to retain, but were open to suggestions as well. That got us to thinking – are there other people that would like a logo review? If you would like a free logo review, feel free to contact us...
