…says Entireweb Newsletter in new mail and continues:
Who are you, really?
Your brand, I mean.
What do you want other people to think when they think about your business, your service, or your product?
Do you want them to think your brand is the life of the party, or the designated driver? Is it a trusted friend, or a glamorous rock star? Are you a Volvo or a ‘Vette’?
So I repeat…who are you?
You may already know this, and if that’s the case, I congratulate you! Many small businesses struggle with this. If, however, you need a little help in defining yourself, here are a few questions to ask yourself:
1. How am I currently perceived by my customers?
2. How do I want to be perceived by my customers?
3. How far apart is how I’m currently being perceived to how I want to be perceived?
4. What are my brand’s human characteristics?
5. If my brand was an actual person, what would be its name?
6. What is my brand’s “life story?”
Nice work, seomag!

29. Check your page link structure. Every page should be reachable by a single static text link.
30. Be extra careful in purchasing SEO services. Some uses illegal and questionable ways to improve rankings.

Entireweb Newsletter has a few rules for seomag logo:
1) Uniqueness
Your logo should be able to stand out as completely ‘yours’. It’s surprising how many times we get asked to ‘copy’ logos – we’ve even had clients request a ‘version’ of my brand. Not a good idea. On top of the potential legal complications nothing screams ‘unprofessional’ like a logo that’s looks even remotely like someone else’s. Do not copy. I’ll say it again. Do. Not. Copy.

2) Timeless
Every few years there’s a trend, or fad, that new logos seems to embrace. A few years ago it was the ’swoosh’ – made logos all hi-tech and ‘internety’. Trouble is, everybody jumped on that bandwagon and the treatment rapidly became hackneyed and trite. Few years hence, and we’ve got lots of people stuck with out of date designs. The latest design logo trend is so-called 2.0, a technique that (like a lot of design trends) can be traced back to Apple Computers. Take your logo, add a ‘gel’ treatment, give it glassy reflection at the bottom and you’re all set. (hey – the 3D version of our house could qualify). Web 2.0 is still going strong, but I’ll go out on a limb and say it will be yesterday’s news by end of summer.

3) Gimmick Free
Special FX and filters are usually applied, by inexperienced designers, to logos that are ‘missing something’. Trouble is, what the logo is generally missing is any design integrity, and adding bevels, lens flares and drop shadows is the logo design version of ‘putting lipstick on a pig’. While it certainly shows how cool the latest design software is, it doesn’t do much for the professionalism of your mark. Such treatments are fine for glamour shots (used as display pieces on brochures and the like) but are only going to cause grief down the road, especially when it comes to application of your new logo on standard business material. Your logo should be as technically simple as possible for adaptability, which just happened to be number 4 on our list…

4) Adaptability
Over the life of your company, you’ll want to plaster your logo over everything you send out. That’s the point of having a logo in the first place. In order to do this, you’ll need a logo that’s adaptable to every occasion and while they may look ‘pretty’ , the design gimmicks we just talked about render your logo impractical for many of these uses. Some of these uses – checks, FAXes, embroidery, newspaper ads, invoices, letterheads, etc. Your new logo has to work on all of them. You’ll also need a quality black and white version that can reproduce as a halftone grayscale, or in the cases of low-resolution BW reproduction, a linear version.

5) Scalability
When using your logo, you’ll need to be able to use it small. Real small. Postage stamp size. Classic example of this – over the years, I’ve designed a load of sports event posters that feature logos from dozens of event sponsors. Space only permits the logos to be featured as very small images and it’s always the simpler logos that stand out when viewed from a distance. The cluttered logos aren’t recognizable to any great degree and the sponsors are probably wasting their money, especially if inclusion on the poster is the only benefit of their sponsorship. When it comes to scalability, the text portion of the logo is the most important, as that’s the piece you want people to remember. Scrawny, sickly text doesn’t read very well at half an inch high.

6) Color is Secondary
Colors are extremely important. Using consistent corporate colors will become part of your brand – that’s understood. However, when it comes to the design of your logo, color must always be secondary. A logo that requires color to ‘hold’ the design together is fine when reproduction is optimal – websites, 4 color process printing and what have you – but even then only if the size is appropriate as well. Logos that rely too much on color tend to blend together when used small (see above) and unless the contrast between the two colors is pronounced, will be a grey mess if used in black and white. As for low-resolution reproduction (FAXES, SEOmag checks, etc) you can forget about readability completely – logos that use color as a design cornerstone usually come out as black blotches on a FAX transmission and with all their money, banks still haven’t figured out how to print a decent check.
