Mostly, what I need is a new LOGO. I can't really start on all the other new stuff until I have a decent logo and my logo is very sad. I don't have the tools to properly design a good logo. I don't have anything better than WORD or Paint to design something. I designed my old logo in WORD, but it's sad and I'm definately not proud of it. Good logos are not easily reproducable and anything made is WORD can be reproduced in 2 seconds.
Also... I attended the QUITTER Conference a year ago and got a chance to listen to an amazing man named Ben Arnment. He explained that you should never design your own marketing materials. Even if you are a graphic designer (which I am), marketing design should be done by someone else. I saw his wisdom in this because when you design something, you fall in love with the work you put into it and your own artwork, that it's not easy to be objective about what is best for your business.
So I am offering a contest. Submit a logo and the winner will get a Kindle Fire and a year of Amazon Prime.
2) Contest goes from 2/27/2012 - 3/31/2012
3) The last week in March, I will put my favorite 3 designs on my website for folks to vote on
4) The winner will be announced 4/2/2012 (I can't post on April Fools, that would be weird)
HELP ME PLEASE!! Share the contest with your friends.
Submissions should be in JPEG form and emailed to essentialtraining@comcast.net with
Name – DOB – Mailing Address – Email Address – Phone Number – Favorite things in the world that are purple!
Be sure to email me at anytime with any questions or concerns. The only restriction is your imagination. Submit as many designs as you want. Encourage any number of friends to participate.
