Wink My logo
I wanted to show everyone the very cool logo that Brianna (aka BYoung) made for me! Oh, and don't forget my flashy avatar! I'm working towards my website now...which is why there isn't more than a "Yes, you're at the right place" page at my website. Purchasing my domain last week totally covered me in goosebumps! This week I'm ordering business cards!

If you are considering finding someone to do your logo I have to say that Brianna was simply a dream to work with! Not to mention worth EVERY penny!

You might also notice I latched on to that great title suggestion for Chief Virtual Officer! Thanks a bunch for that one!

Make it a great day!

Hi Sundi,
Either I haven't been paying attention or totally missed you mentioning your company name before now. Did you know there is a web-based "office" system called OfficeZilla? Web address http://officezilla.com/. They have been around for over 5 years (I've been signed up with them for a few months now)

Just wanted to mention it. I'd hate for you to find out there was a copyright or trademark issue later.

Yikes! You're right Christina - good point...not sure what the copyright issues would be there but definitely something to look into!

I think Sundi is pretty safe because her official business name is "My Office Zilla" and there are no registered trademarks for "Office Zilla" that I could find. Not to mention, Sundi's approach to the whole "Zilla" look is quite different than theirs, and she is not in competition with them at all. No worries, Sundi! I think you're safe!

Edit: Sundi, it will be very important for you to differentiate yourself when marketing your practice, so choosing your website wording, slogans, and descriptions is going to be harder for you. But from what I understand, you are aware of this already!

Of course I should have known Bri would have checked it out!

In any case, the logo is really unique, fabulous - and what a cool image to build a website around!

Yes, I did know. I signed up too! And, yes, I'd already checked into it. I totally understand after your run in with mr. office-furniture-man your sensitivity to the potential issue and I appreciate it!

No, I hadn't posted anything before but I did tell part of my story without revealing it all so here it is...

Somewhere around here there is a link to a fun little thing that generates taglines. I had a good time with it one day but didn't have anything really grab me. Within a few days I had this crazy moment in the middle of the night when "Office Vampire - Take a bite out of work!" actually woke me up! I don't me like a dream or something...I'm talking about a voice in my head kind of thing.

I immediately knew that vampire was too, well, vampy. I knew I didn't want my logo or website to be of a sensual nature and to me that is what a female vampire is - so I decided to skip it entirely. Within a couple hours in bed that night I had compiled a mental list of everything I could think of that bites. I had already spent several days working up a list of words and possible names but nothing really touched me. (Well, I really liked "Results Point" and it might work for someone else. If so, please feel free to use it.)

As far as the tag - does anyone remember that old public service announcement (US) that was a hound dog dressed like a private investigator and he always said, "Take a bite out of crime." Well, that tagline was pretty much dead on for me. I want to take a bite out of my niche's work!

My niche is pretty specific but, like most, I wouldn't turn work away just because the potential client wasn't in my niche! I came from an HR background and my most recent "love it!" job was in the developmental consultant arena (executive coaching, team building, etc.). I already have a long list of soloist consultants I've worked with in the past that I'm ready to start marketing to as soon as I get my business set up. I'll do client interactions, workshop material development, proofing, compiliation, shipping and the like. As with many soloists, my niche sees the value in spending a bit more time on sales rather than producing materials!

I know that is a lot of info for a simple "here is my logo!" thread but my personality type is an ESTJ so I can't let the details slip by! Probably way more than you needed to know, huh?

Great Sundi!
I really do like the name and tag. As for the logo, major kudos Brianna.

As for "mr. office-furniture-man" (much better than the name I was calling him lol )
Never heard back from him. I think because I did my research and responded to him in a dignified & professional way he decided to back off.

Christina, you are fantastic example of what this community is all about! It's so nice that we all watch out for each other!

I've never been asked to draw any type of character or monster before, so this was loads of fun...

I'll give you props, you're way more creative than I am. I just went with a boring old typical name, that like 500 other people already use. LOL
