Killer Content

Content plays a major role in SERP purpose and also in PR as if the content is very original and killer you can get many natural links without doing any work by various bloggers if they love your work. Don't forget to stay away from link farms as these can be dangerous for your site.

All these play a major role in SERP's and PR you have to be more on the SERP side rather than only stressing on PR as it will not bring you real Traffic which is the original theme of every site.

My personal interpretation about page rank it don't have any thing to do with the SERP's, but, many of us still chase it. The only benefit which I see with PR, it can get couple of bucks to you by selling links on your website.

Microsoft’s $44.6 Billon Offer to Yahoo: Rejected

2008-02-12T16:30:00.000+05:30

Microsoft’s $44.6 Billon Offer to Yahoo: Rejected

Yes the updating news which is flying in the world is that Yahoo has rejected the offer made by Microsoft to acquire Yahoo. The official updated news is Yahoo rejected the offer of Microsoft saying the offer is too low.

The mystery is now revealed about the Yahoo’s plan and can be said as a new step by the jerry (A small mouse) in the defensive step on the attack by tom’s (A Kitten) jumps over jerry.

This would certainly raise the war of words between the Yahoo and Microsoft and has actually begun where Microsoft has described the Yahoo’s response as “Unfortunate” and said the proposal was fair enough.

So, the dream about combination of Microsoft-Yahoo! to create a more effective company that would provide greater value and services is on hold now after the news.
The official statement from the Microsoft says

"It is unfortunate that Yahoo! has not embraced our full and fair proposal to combine our companies. Based on conversations with stakeholders of both companies, we are confident that moving forward promptly to consummate a transaction is in the best interests of all parties.

We are offering shareholders superior value and the opportunity to participate in the upside of the combined company. The combination also offers an increasingly exciting set of solutions for consumers, publishers and advertisers while becoming better positioned to compete in the online services market.

A Microsoft-Yahoo! combination will create a more effective company that would provide greater value and service to our customers. Furthermore, the combination will create a more competitive marketplace by establishing a compelling number two competitor for Internet search and online advertising.

The Yahoo! response does not change our belief in the strategic and financial merits of our proposal. As we have said previously, Microsoft reserves the right to pursue all necessary steps to ensure that Yahoo’s shareholders are provided with the opportunity to realize the value inherent in our proposal."

This seems very impressive from the point of view of Microsoft as they are likely to do all the formats to acquire Yahoo and lot more things will be happening in the coming days.

Now the next step by Microsoft will be directed straight to shareholders with the bid. So, what are your comments as all the things are open and the next step is almost known?

Steps For Optimizing Content

2008-02-02T16:37:00.000+05:30

Important Tips on Content for Better Search Engine Optimization & Online Visibility

Content and Search Engines go hand to hand on a prospect for giving the accurate information to the online seeker and searcher, after all useful content on a demanding search query will not only enhance your online presence but may attract many of the online searchers to deal with the company.

The analysis of the content before publishing is like accumulating all the necessary items before cooking something delicious. As the things are mismanaged or any item is missing it will result in a tasteless food and unsatisfied consumer.

Here the food is content and consumer an online seeker, if online seekers found the content not useful enough for search query they will quit from the website and hence chance to do business is gone.

Now I will ask a question from all the readers:

Think of something special or any area of interest for which you need more information, it may be any sport, hobby or anything and now imagine searching regarding that particular topic which you choose.

The search engine will return many results matching to your criteria for the query, suppose the first website is related to the topic but the information provided is of no use or value. It is based on the points which are general, useless and raw or mismanaged.

The second website is also related to the topic and provides the in-depth information with certain points which are new and refreshing and make more points by linking out to the sites related to the topic and resources available with them.

Now you have to give point to these websites, which one would be your choice? It would be second one for sure, am I right?

Mostly, every one will surely pick up the second in comparison with first. The reason behind this is the author had the in-depth knowledge about the topic and had transformed it in content.

Benefits of the Informative and Relative Content

Web Content provides the value to the site, readers and the customers. The content provides value not only to the site but also the business and the owner.

The benefits of the content are:

It provides value to the online seeker, searcher, and reader.

It holds the online seeker, searcher, and reader on the website for longer time.

It helps you to rank higher in search engines.

It helps others to recommend your website.

It encourages getting automatic back links for your site.

It enhances your online visibility with faith.

All the points mentioned above are great, but, how to manage to create this type of content? That’s the point to work on.

Let’s begin with the steps and guidelines involved for creating the website content.

Steps for Creating Value Content

Choose the topic.

Choose the accurate person to write the content.

Avoid spellings and grammatical mistakes.

Content should cover all the points.

It should not boar the reader.

Include pictures and graphics will enhance credibility

Let’s study the steps discussed above.

Choose the Topic

Topic is the main criteria from which the working should begin. No one can describe or create any thing without knowing the topic. So, the main pillar is the topic which can be any business related product or new idea for the bloggers. Don’t tell the people what you want to tell instead tell them what they want to know from you. This is the accurate and right way to move ahead as telling about what products you offer is outdated instead, find out what people want to know about the types of products offered, and utilize web content to address the questions or concerns.

Accurate Person

The second aspect comes after choosing the topic, mainly topic is the beginning and the person who will write the content is second most important aspect. Every one can write as we all speak but when it comes to the content writing the emphasis should be given on who should write the content.

There are many content management companies, freelance writers who do this type of work for the companies as they have experience and have studied the mind of the online seekers and searchers. They can be the ones do to the work for you.

There are many examples I have personally experienced where the programmers are writing content to some extent for the website in the form of validations and when catching the errors, the language used by them is technical which an ordinary customer cannot understand. This is an example of choosing the wrong person for writing part of the content.

Let’s take one more example, say a manufacturing company A asks the production employees to manage sales and directly interact with the customers. What would be the result?

The sales would be comparatively very less? The reason behind it is that the sales people have the skills and knowledge about how to deal with customers accordingly, which is missing with the production employees. The key behind this is. The best person for this purpose should not always be the person who is technical or have the full knowledge on any product but it can be anyone who communicates about the product from one end to other.

Avoid Mistakes

Spelling and Grammar is also very important aspect of the content. The readers give value to the unique content with no spelling and grammatical mistakes. Due importance and care should be taken while preparing the content as online searcher, seekers and readers quits from a page having grammatical and spelling mistakes. Try to use the tools to check the spellings and grammar for your content before making it live. Revise the article two to three times and check for the readability and mistakes before uploading it.

Cover All the Points

The article or content written should be different and unique as search engines give importance to these articles and content. Readers link back to these types of articles and content for its uniqueness and these links enhance your visibility and search engine ranking as well. The worth of any content is with its description and it should cover all the angles and major points relating to the topic. This is done to make sure and give reader the information required and that too at one single platform.

Some readers are from same cadre and know about the topic, but not all readers know each and every aspect of topic so full information will give you points. The linking to the related articles and topics will give the reader more information and again help for online visibility.

Interesting for Readers

The readers are your customer who will certainly help in maximizing profits and enhance your search engine traffic. This will definitely help you do your business more efficiently.

Pictures & Graphics

Pictures and Graphics are one of the factors to provide pictorial form of the content which explain the readers in terms of images. Content should contain pictures and graphics related to the topic which enhance and attracts readers from the pictures and graphics.

After all this work is done to gain customers

“It is not enough to give the customer excellent service. You must subtly make him aware of the great service he is getting.”

Accordingly each one of us should follow the quote and see the changes.

The points covered above are very useful in every aspect so any comments and suggestions are highly appreciated. Just apply these tips and watch your success.

Self Search Engine Optimization Easy Steps

2008-01-15T17:19:00.000+05:30

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) or Search Engine Optimisation is a skilled technique widely used in Internet marketing for improving and promoting any website higher in search engine ranking (SERP's) across various search engines with the specific sets of related keywords of website content.

Search engine optimization is more than just a trend nowadays. It is used and applied by almost all sites on the internet that aim to make money and reach online popularity.

There are basic two-three choices for the owner of website to consider when trying get site ranked higher in search engines. You can hire a Freelance Optimizer or Search Engine Optimization Company that is an expert in the field or if you have some time, you can do it yourself. It only requires some basic Keywords research, Title and Description Tag,Website Content and Link Building.

Keywords Research

The main importance is for researching and selecting the best keywords for industry related words and the keywords you believe your potential customers or online seekers will use to find you. Selecting the right and updated keywords requires a research work.

Look at your company's products and printed materials. What words do you use over there on those printed materials? When you speak to new and current customers, what questions do they frequently ask and what words do they use? Just make a list of those questions as this will assist you in the research work. Then go to the major search engines and directories. Type in the keywords you want to use. Study the source code of the web sites that appeared in the top 20. Look at how your competitors ranked in a search query. Adjust and alter your keywords accordingly.

Keyword is very important in aspects of optimization as this or these are the words through which online seekers search for products or services. Though a keyword may be only one word or it may be a phrase of word with keywords within. Long phrases are more specific and cover multiple keywords, which will more than likely be what online customers use when searching for products or services online.

Write down all that what you have researched yourself and what your customers have provided. Make sure to consider and include geographical phrases also as they are important to your local customers.

The next step after the keyword research is the content of the website.

Website Content

Website Content also plays an important role in search engine optimization as search engines spiders only reads the content of the website. Since, content is what the search engines reads therefore, content should be descriptive with the keywords, proper spellings and grammar. The web pages actually at the top of Search Engines have only one thing clearly in common: good writing. There is a phrase for search engines and it is “Content is King”. Search engines love unique content and keywords should be placed in-between the content for giving the search engines what they require and for optimization of website as well.

Link Building

Link building is to have links from the website of your niche to your website. Every link with some popular website casts a vote to your website. Every quality link you receive can improve your search rankings.

The quality of inbound links is more essential than the quantity. The preferred and more valuable link is from sites that are relevant to your niche. To build up the links you can submit to the directories. Search for relevant websites of your niche and then send them an email introducing yourself and your company and tell them how your website could benefit their visitors and politely request the website owners to place your website link. This will give your site more and more votes also increasing the Search Engine Ranking.

Doing all these things described above will definitely give more presence of your website on the internet through search engines, automatically increasing the ranking. But, all this process is somewhat complex, time consuming and requires a lot of research work for the optimizers.

Informative Content to Be Placed In Websites (Content Is King)

2008-01-11T17:12:00.000+05:30

Discover the Blunder that you will make while getting your new website developed

To understand this, you need to understand "What is a Result Oriented Website?"

A website which helps you to achieve your goals on World Wide Web is said to be result oriented website. A website which give better returns as compared with investments in terms of money, popularization and each and every part of the niche of the website. Everyone wants to attain this type of result but some hit the point and some miss it. One can achieve results only if, "Full Knowledge and command on the niche of your website and know want to achieve from it?”

A huge lot of Small Business Entrepreneurs who have their website don't acknowledge this blunder. The general tend of these entrepreneurs is that they just see what their competitors are offering and want the same criteria on their website, regardless of attempting to make something new or different. The end result for this type of situation is very bad in the terms of business and money.

The main idea and conclusion arrived from the above lines is “More emphasis is given on design, duplication of theme with the competitors”. Which is not the basic idea to implement for any online business? I personally have met lot of small and large business owners and they say ... "I want really a well designed and professional website. I want my web site to look different". They spend hours explaining how they want their website to look like. They give priority to web design for there site which is not bad but content of the site is not given that importance, which is the main part for any website.

Ignoring the "CONTENT" part of the website they just ignore the purpose of their website. After all content is the main information regarding the main business of the company or any other information which an online seeker is searching for and if this is not properly managed then design will not give you any points.

By fulfilling and providing the basic needs for the online seekers you can get competitive edge. This way you will gain advantage over your competitors. All this is possible by the unique or different content, how the content is managed and provided on website. One can achieve more business means more profit. Implementing the overall goal set by developing the website for the business growth.

The main goal for any website as well as the Website Design Company is to give information about business and attract more customers from the web for the business growth and to generate more profits. Its purpose is to help you in marketing your product/service, generating more sales leads and increasing the sales conversion rate.

Titles & Description For Search Engine Optimization

2008-01-02T18:08:00.000+05:30

Compelling Site Titles and Descriptions for Better Results

Search Engine Optimizers work day and night for client to get higher ranking for the site for any particular set of keywords. Content of the website plays a vital role to achieve it, as the keywords are stuffed in content of the page as well as in the Meta Title and Description tag of the source of the page.

Titles and description is the most appropriate place to describe about the services and products of the company. As the search engine places the site and provides the description and title to the online searchers. These places are not important for the ranking purpose in the search engines or for the search engine algorithm, but are most important for the ability to attract and compel the online searcher to click and visit your Website. After all, this is only the ultimate aim and goal of each and every website owner and search engine optimization.

This can be described best with an example suppose any website say A is ranking top for any Keyword in search engine but the title and description is not giving out the basic idea or relevant information. Then there is not a point in attaining a top ranking in search engines if you are not able to attract the visitors to your site.

Relevancy with Search Engines

As described about the title and description, now just look into the relevancy of both of them as compared with the search engines. The title tag is of more relevance as compared with the description META tag as major search engines use the title of the site exactly as it appears on the page. Comparing with description were several search engine like yahoo hold the right to alter or change the description as per there authority.

Longer Titles V/s Short Titles

Long titles are more likely to attract and compel the searchers as compared with the Short titles. The basic reason for this act is the searchers get the certain number of words which carry the capability of compelling anyone to take an action. Short titles carry insufficient number of words to compel the searchers to take action.

Generally people go through or scan the headlines of newspapers or magazines, regardless of reading the full news or article. This tendency is very common in each and every person, and that too when there are so many options available to the online searcher the first thing before the design and content of the web site

People don’t read each and every letter after about the time they turn 12 years old; they recognize words. People tend to recognize the words by the shapes defined by the top of the letters. For example you can also try it yourself, take few sentences from any book or newspaper and now cover the bottom half of the words. So, now you believed in what I mean to say; now do the same thing again but cover the top half of the words you will find that words are harder to read because there is not much difference in the shape or line of the bottom of the words. But how it will help in title and description??

The answer: Since people recognize words because the tops of words vary in height and appearance, then sentences that start with just one capital letter and then lowercase letters are easier to recognize and get read faster.

Words in all caps are hard to read. People don't like to read them and don't read them as easily. Recognizing the words in the sentences is tedious, and these listings are frequently overlooked.

New Planning for New Year Ad

Today is Wednesday and I have planned to give all the readers more interesting and creative tip for today.

I am really very thankful to all the readers who have taken out their precious time to read and promote my blog.

Actually I have started this blog few weeks back only and I am getting love and appreciation from all the readers from all over the world.

Today is a new day and I have something new with me which will help all the old and new readers.

Basically ads are meant for the business publicity and they are open source. Now is it possible for each and every person to be so creative to form ad. It could be best expressed in a very easy way. If you have 10 seconds and twenty five words to show your creativity. Can you convince a customer to click on your ad and buy your product?

Frankly speaking you have only this much time present with you when you are trying to make a new customer while loose another. How to change this scenario? I t is very simple. You just need new creativity and implement some psychological factors in your advertisement techniques.

You must have heard and read “But wait--- there’s more!! “ Does this make you go through the entire commercial ad as the announcer tactics and prompts you to click.

Mostly people go through the ad and click it to read the entire article of promotion, the fact is that they wait and read the entire article to know what the special offer is, because the announcer wants the customers to wait till end. It is not to say, all your ads should contain highly catching phrases, but these are the true methods of hooking customers with just few tangible words.

There are various successful words and phrases, the words or phrases which play with the customers or people emotion will be most successful. It sounds very odd and manipulative but it’s a most appropriate method of reaching new and unique consumers. This sounds very odd and tricky but each of us always wants to hear and read about our appreciation, look fantastic and feel great.

Whenever anyone of us play using this trick or technique, keeping positive mindset regarding the outcome from your ad and product and not the negative thinking which your reader may be suffering from. So, always be in positive thinking, positive tone will help you and your customers while negative tone should be avoided.

For example, you would inspire your customers to feel good and look fantastic through your product and would like to avoid on focusing on there current state.

There are so many words present which can be utilized to make your ad to be eye cracking material for the viewers. These words can be found by just performing a little search on internet. An example of a word ”Free” is pretty sure to pull the visitors eye and make them read your ad. By using the word Free will increase your clicking ratio. So, it is one of the words which could be used in your ad for your product promotion in which you can give a free gift to all the viewers.

The best formula you can use for a great headline or ad copy is:

Keeping your ad short, simple and to the point.
Appealing to human nature.
Mentioning positive results.

If you keep these three things in mind while writing your ad, you can ensure that your ad will get read, that your link will be clicked on and that your prospective new customer will find what they are looking for on your site.

Come and Explore How to Create Website

Very warm welcome! To all the visitors who are now going to get the answer for there basic questions regarding, how to develop website and how to begin for it.

This is the best place you have come to explore. There is lot of information for all the beginners in this blog. I have created this quick source just to give you an overview on what is involved in creating a website. Let’s begin to learn what are the basics involved with building a website.

Your Basic Needs for Building a Website

Domain Name

This is a name for identifying a computer or computers on internet. It is a component of Website’s URL (Uniform Resource Locator). So, creativ-eras.com is an example of domain name.

It is the name given by the Domain name registrar after the process of registration is done by the client. It is also called as registered domain name and web addresses.

These Domains are also attached with its extensions. Domain name extensions are of different types:

The Top 3: These are the basic domain widely used by the customers worldwide and are one of the top domains till date

.com
.net
.org

Country-Level Top Domain: Every country have there own matching top level domain names, some examples are

.in (India)
.co.in (India)
.fr (France)
.co.uk (United Kingdom)

And there are many more domain also like
.edu
.gov
.tv

Free Websites

There are various sources on internet which provide with an option to host your website for free. But these types of resources should not be considered healthy, reason for it is that they are unstable in nature and you never own your website and you never receive true domain name. The main domain will be of third party and it will look like http://freesite.yourdomain.com/. In some cases, it can even be longer than the example shown above.

Web Host

Web hosting is a service which allows the individuals and organizations to provide there own websites accessible over www (World Wide Web). Web hosts are the companies which provide the space on servers which they own for the use by their clients and provide internet connectivity. Web hosting is paid service usually monthly or yearly.

Website requires space on server to be used by the individuals. No website can exist without web hosts.

Building Website

In this part we are going to explore various tools and editors present for building a website. There are many software and tools available for building a website in easy and efficient way. It’s important for you to find out about them before you use them.

Macromedia Dreamweaver, CoffeeCup HTML Editor, Front Page, Aedix, UPOhtml, Alleycode HTML Editor, Aptana, Arachnophilia, BBEdit, Bluefish, CSE HTML Validator, EditPlus, Evrsoft 1st Page, HTML-Kit, Adobe HomeSite, NoteTab, PSPad, Quanta Plus, SAPIEN PrimalScript, SCREEM, Siteaid, skEdit, Taco HTML Edit, TextMate, TopStyle, Notepad++, Weaverslave are some of the web editing software present and used by the people for creating and maintaining sites.

I used Macromedia Dreamweaver for creating my website http://www.creativ-eras.com/.

If you are not using any of the software then you have begin from the scratch and have to learn how to code HTML (Hypertext Markup Language). All you have to do is open Text editor (Notepad) for example and then write the HTML code which will create your page. It is pretty easy to learn and use.

Then you have to save the file you are working on with the filename.html and then upload it to the server (Web Host).

If you are finding it difficult to code in HTML, then I would strongly recommend you to get it done by any website design company or any software program which I’ve talked about above to edit and create your website. These companies are working day and night for its customers. There are so many web designing companies and you have to find one of the best from them to serve.

There are many websites will provide free website templates (awesome premade sites) ready to use.

Products

In your site you are showing information about company, its products, its expertise, its services, its vision & goals, patrons and feedback etc.

The main part is of products of the company. The importance of products is due to the out result of company. Every company wants to sell its product, uses various forms and methods. Website is also one form of online presence of the company for selling products online.

For selling its product online you have to take orders online from your website? The best way is to sign up with paypal.com. They are the merchants; they accept credit cards for you and take a small percentage for the order. It is very convenient and easy to setup.

All you have to do is specify the price for each and every item or product you are selling and paypal will provide you some HTML code which you have to paste it in your website and it will automatically create the payment button and its interface for you.

Paypal uses secure methods and handles all the transactions which are done through credit cards. It’s very easy to transfer the funds from your paypal account to any other account electronically.

Other Features

There are various other features which you can implement in your website like gaming, gambling, chat and guestbook where visitors can play game, chat and leave message for you on your site.

It is very hard for you to think of these features, but as internet have matured, it’s getting easier and easier for you to use and implement these features on your site.

For getting any kind of interactive feature on a website requires some kind of script. Script contains a bunch of code that tells the browser how to behave.

You can get these scripts depending what you want on your website. Script can be found on internet for that you have to go to your favorite search site (Google) and search for the appropriate script. Some scripts are free and some are paid as well.

It is important for you to check that your web host supports the kind of script and functionality you want to implement.

So, this was the full explanation on how to create your website.

Instincts Of Baby

First Month:

Mummy, I am only 5 inches long, but I have only few organs in my body. I love the sound of your voice whenever I hear it. The sound of your heart beat is my favorite lullaby.

Second Month:

Mummy, I have all the organs and learned how to suck my thumb. If you could see me, you could definitely tell that I am a baby. I’m not big enough to survive outside my home though. It is so nice and warm in here.

Third Month:

You know what Mummy, I’m a girl!! I hope that makes you happy. I always want you to be happy. I don’t like it when you cry. You sound so sad. It makes me sad too, and I cry with you even though you can’t hear me.

Forth Month:

Mummy, my hair is starting to grow. It is very short and fine, but I will have a lot of it. I spend a lot of my time exercising. I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes, and stretch my arms and legs. I am becoming quite good at it too.

Fifth Month:

You went to the doctor today. Mummy, he lied to you. He said that I’m not a baby. I am a baby Mummy, your little baby. I think and feel. Mummy, what’s abortion?

Sixth Month:

I can hear that doctor again. I don’t like him. He seems cold and heartless. Something is intruding my home. The doctor calls it a needle. Mummy what is it? It burns! Please make it stop! I can’t get away from it! Mummy!! HELP ME!! Mummy!!!! . .

Seventh Month:

Mummy, I am okay. I am in Jesus’ arms. He is holding me. He told me about abortion. Why didn’t you want me Mummy?

One more heart was stopped.

Two more eyes will never see.

Two more hands will never touch.

Two more legs will never run.

One more child of God destroyed.

One more mouth that will never speak.

The revolution of Internet seems to be in swing for all countries, but India is really plugged into the global community it represents?

Internet rolls a web of connectivity all around the earth, as it grow literally by the hours, India is struggling, not to catch up, but from falling further and further behind the world.

India is favoring things to improve in each and every aspect. Before Five years there was limited use of Internet and that also to in a few major cities, all in the government hands. The agency responsible for Internet activities àVSNL, DOT (Department of Telecommunications) provided an unbearably connectivity, with miserly bandwidth and with too few phone lines. Connection rate ran as low as 5% and users were frequently cut off. This rate for pathetic level of services was among the highest in the world. Indian customers paid about $2 per hour, and lease lines, few companies that could afford them, ranged over $2000 per month. By the year 1998, three years of government monopoly, there were 150,000 Internet connections in India.

Now the government monopoly is largely over. Dozens of Internet Service Providers have set up and price war and an improvement of service are in effect. Now estimated users are at over 2 million, the estimated growth for the next five years (50 million). Internet place have now been set up in the government, both State and Central are pushing for growth in the Internet sector even in small towns. New buzzword is internet. Internet represents the new frontier for middle classes, a clean job with good salary and chance to go abroad.

With the growth of internet in India the Web development and Design Companies have taken advantage are on the driving seat. Today India is one of the leading outsourcing country for IT sector. Companies are offering best Content, Designs and Development with search engine optimization at best buy price and are dealing with clients based at different countries. Till date these companies have earned good reputation and goodwill which is long lasting.

Logo

Logo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from logo design)

Jump to: navigation, search

For other uses, see Logo (disambiguation).

A logotype (from the Greek λογότυπο), commonly known as a logo, is the graphic element, symbol, and icon of a trademark or brand, which is set in a special typeface or arranged in a particular way. The shapes, colors, fonts and images usually different from others in a similar market.

Overview

The former United Airlines logo is an emblem and a name.

A logo is an iconic symbol designed to represent a company, product or service. It also depicts
an organization's personality.

In recent times the term ' logo' has been used to describe signs, emblems, coats of arms, symbols and even flags. In this article several examples of 'true' logotypes are displayed,

which may generally be contrasted with emblems, or marks which include non-textual

graphics of some kind. Emblems with non-textual content are distinct from true logo types. The uniqueness of a logo type is of utmost importance to avoid confusion in the marketplace among clients, suppliers, users, affiliates, and the general public. To the extent that a logotype achieves this objective, it may function as a trademark, and may be used to uniquely identify businesses, organizations, events, products or services. Once a logotype is designed, one of the most effective means for protecting it is through registration as a trademark, so that no unauthorised third parties can use it, or interfere with the owner's use of it. If rights in relation to a logotype are correctly established and enforced, it can become a valuable intellectual property asset.

A common misconception holds that a logo type is merely a graphic symbol or sign. This is, however, not the way it is defined by graphic designers and by advertising professionals. A logotype consists of either a name or a name and a sign. The image at right shows an example of the two elements of a logotype.

While large corporations spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to update and implement their logo, many small businesses will turn to local graphic designers to do a corporate logo. Brand slogans

Sometimes a slogan is included in the logo type. If the slogan appears always in the logotype, and in the same graphic shape, it can be considered as part of the logotype. In this case it is a brand slogan also called a claim, a tagline or an endline in the advertising industry. The main purpose of it is to support the identity of the brand together with the logotype. The difference between a slogan and a brand slogan is that brand slogan remains the same for a long time to build up the brands image while different slogans link to each product or advertising campaign.

Examples:

? iPod nano: 1,000 songs. Impossibly small.

? Amazon.com: And you're done.

? Nokia: Connecting people.

History

The origin of logo types goes back to the 19th century, when industrial manufacture of products became important. The new industrial procedures allowed a much higher output than that of the former handmade products. The new products were distributed in large geographical areas, even nationwide. New competitors appeared from time to time, and the offer of products of a same kind increased notably. At that time, a significant part of the population was still illiterate. The industrial leaders became soon aware that the public would not easily differentiate their product from the same product of their competitors. More and more manufacturers began therefore to include a symbol, sign, or emblem on their products, labels and packages, so that all the buyers could easily recognize the product they wanted. The manufacturers later began to add the name of the company or of the product to their sign. The name being shaped often in a specific way by each manufacturer, these combined logo types, which for the first time included sign and name, became extremely popular.

During many decades, when a new logo was being designed, owners, advertising professionals, and graphic designers always attempted to create a sign or emblem which, together with the name of the company, product, or service, would appear as a logotype.

Logos today

Today there are so many corporations, products, services, agencies and other entities using a sign or emblem as logotype that many have realized that only a few of the thousands of signs people are faced with are recognized without a name. The consequence is the notion that it makes less sense to use a sign as a logotype, even together with the name, if people will not duly identify it. Therefore, the trend in the recent years has been to use both logos and names, and to emphasize the design of the name instead of the logotype, making it unique by its letters, color, and additional graphic elements. Examples of well-designed logo and logotypes are available in competitive design annuals.

Emblems will sometimes grow in popularity, especially across areas with differing alphabets; for instance, a name in the Arabic language would be of little help in most European markets. A sign or emblem would keep the general proprietary nature of the product in both markets. In non-profit areas, the Red Cross is an example of an extremely well known emblem which does not need a name to go with, though in Muslim countries it is the Red Crescent.

logo design

logo design is commonly believed to be one of the most important areas in graphic design, thus making it the most difficult to perfect. The logo, or brand, is not just an image, it is the embodiment of an organization. Because logos are meant to represent companies and foster recognition by consumers it is counterproductive to redesign logos often.

A good logo:

? is unique, and not subject to confusion with other logos among customers

? is functional and can be used in many different contexts while retaining its integrity

? should remain effective reproduced small or large

? can work in "full-color", but also in two color presentation (black and white), spot color, or halftone

? may be able to maintain its integrity printed on various fabrics or materials (where the shape of the product may distort the logo)

? abides by basic design principles of space, color, form, consistency, and clarity

? represents the brand/company appropriately

Color is important to the brand recognition, but should not be an integral component to the logo design, which would conflict with its functionality. Some colors are associated with certain emotions that the designer wants to convey (e.g. Loud colors, such as red, that are meant to attract the attention of drivers on freeways are appropriate for companies that require such attention. Red, white, and blue are often used in logos for companies that want to project patriotic feelings. Green is often associated with health foods.)

For other brands, more subdued tones and lower saturation can communicate dependability, quality, relaxation, etc.

Color is also useful for linking certain types of products with a brand. Warm colors (red, orange, yellow) are linked to hot food and thus can be seen integrated into many fast food logos. Conversely, cool colors (blue, purple) are associated with lightness and weightlessness, thus many diet products have a light blue integrated into the logo.

When designing (or commissioning) a logo, practices to encourage are to

? use few colors, or try to limit colors to spot colors (a term used in the printing industry)

? avoid gradients (colors that transition from dark to light/light to dark) as a distinguishing feature

? produce alternatives for different contexts

? design using vector graphics, so the logo can be resized without loss of fidelity

? be aware of design or trademark infringements

? include guidelines on the position on a page and white space around the logo for consistent application across a variety of media (a.k.a. brand standard manual)

? do not use a specific choice of third-party font or clip-art as a distinguishing feature

? do not use the face of a (living) person

? avoid photography or complex imagery as it reduces the instant recognition a logo demands

? avoid culturally sensitive imagery, such as religious icons or national flags, unless the brand is committed to being associated with any and all connotations such imagery may evoke Why are logo important? The idea is to create strong brand recognition.
