Default Almost There (Logo/Tagline)!
Hi everyone!

I'm almost ready to launch my website and go live (YIKES!). I'd like some opinions/critiques/ideas/criticism of my logo and tagline.

One of the logos is my user picture. The basic logo is the Celtic knot. I have two variations of the logo and my name, the one pictured and then one horizontially with Circle on top and Assistants on the bottom.

My current tagline is: "We help you round out your business" I like the play with circle and round, but not 100% sold on the wording. My graphic designer questioned the use of "we", since I'm a sole proprietor. I've thought of "Helping you round out your business" or "Rounding out your business needs".

HELP!!

Cheers,

What's wrong with the royal 'we' anyway? I refer to my company as 'Goddess' in conversations and treat it as a living entity. So, nope, no mouse in my pocket, but a 'Goddess' working along side of me.

I like "Rounding out your business". But there is nothing wrong with using "I help you round out your business" instead of "We". My tag line is "Let my administrative solutions be to your advantage" so I am claiming myself not a "we".

There is another post on the subject of using I/We that you can check out.

Thanks, Shellye! That's the one I'm leaning towards, as it takes the "I/We" issue off the table.

Cheers,

Thanks, Betty! The wordplay started almost immediately after I decided to go with "Circle Assistants". Now if I can finish tweaking the verbage that'd be great!

Cheers,

bwhahaha!!!! Love it. There's nothing wrong with the royal "we", it's where my gut first went. On second thought I'm not sure which way I prefer, but that's why I put it out here on the Forum. Y'all make a great sounding board!!

Cheers,

Thanks so much, Erika. It's difficult to narrow it down when three or four things sound good...

I really like how your tagline hits each word in your business name. It's subtle and smart.

I'm going right now to the I/We post. I have some ideas about that I'd like to share. Thanks for letting me know about it!

Cheers,
