Looking forward to 2012!
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.

Oh wait, I never had it in the first place. So can I just call Google and ask them to send it over to me? That seems to be the impression one client had of us recently. Yeah, Graphic Zen and Google, we’re like this. Seriously….and all sarcastic snarkiness aside, that was an actual request of a client recently after we’d done some web design for them. They wanted a higher search engine ranking and suggested we “Just call Google and ask them.” I had to explain that just as they would not give out their company secrets, Google is not about to reveal theirs to...
Read MoreThe Graphic Zen logo.
As we get ready to roll into 2011, we unveiled the new Graphic Zen logo for the company. We’re proud of the look and love the various comments we’ve had from clients and friends including: “Like the colors!” “Hate this – go back to the old one.” “I like it – looks like a smiley face.” “I like the way the Z bends.” As you can see, not all were positive comments, and that’s okay. When designing a logo, you aren’t able to please everyone in terms of colors and design. We had the goal of coming up with something...
