Important points for good logos

(The image above is the top 50 logos that doest not describe what the company does)


It is also important to state that that a logo doesn’t need to show what a business sells or offers as a service. ie. Car logos don’t need to show cars, computer logos don’t need to show computers. The Harley Davidson logo isn’t a motorcycle, nor is the Nokia logo a mobile phone. A logo is purely for identification.

5 principles of Effective Logo Design

Simple
Memorable
Timeless
Versatile
Appropriate



What makes a good logo? A good logo is distinctive, appropriate, practical, graphic, simple in form and conveys an intended message.

1. Simple
A simple logo design allows for easy recognition and allows the logo to be versatile & memorable. KISS Principle:"Keep it Simple, Stupid!"


2. Memorable
An effective logo design should be memorable and this is achieved by having a simple, yet, appropriate logo.


3. Timeless
An effective logo should be timeless – that is, it will stand the test of time. Will the logo still be effective in 10, 20, 50 years?


4. Versatile
An effective logo should be able to work across a variety of mediums and applications. For this reason a logo should be designed in vector format, to ensure that it can be scaled to any size. The logo should be able to work both in horizontal and vertical formats.

Ask yourself; is a logo still effective if:

* Printed in one colour?
* Printed on the something the size of a postage stamp?
* Printed on something as large as a billboard?
* Printed in reverse (ie. light logo on dark background)

One way around creating a versatile logo is to begin designing in black and white only. This allows one to focus on the concept and shape, rather than the subjective nature of colour. One must also remember printing costs – the more colors used, the more expensive it will be for the business over the long term.

Best Website to download photos and images

source from: http://www.presentationmagazine.com/top-10-sites-images-presentation-50.htm

0. www.123rf.com

free images with editable watermark

1. istockphoto

One of the best stock photo libraries around for price verses quality. Images from around 60p ($1). We use this site most.

2. gettyimages

Expensive at £50 – £350 per image ($100 – $600) but has access to some of the best professional photography. We use this sparingly for our corporate clients.

3. google image search

Free images, but you need to obtain permission from the copyright holder.

4. flickr creative commons

restricted rights according to image

5. flickr
A very good selection of amateur images. You need to obtain permission from the copyright holder. We usually find that the owners are really chuffed to be asked.

6. wikipedia

restricted rights according to image

7. corbis

again more expensive than flickr but the quality is generally high

8. fotolia

cheap and cheerful with more images than istockphoto, but let down by slow speeds

9. stockxpert

Cheap with good range. Navigation is a bit confusing.

10. shutterstock

Need to buy a lot of credits to download.

ISFP Personality

Career Path:

Whether you're a young adult trying to find your place in the world, or a not-so-young adult trying to find out if you're moving along the right path, it's important to understand yourself and the personality traits which will impact your likeliness to succeed or fail at various careers. It's equally important to understand what is really important to you. When armed with an understanding of your strengths and weaknesses, and an awareness of what you truly value, you are in an excellent position to pick a career which you will find rewarding.

ISFPs generally have the following traits:

• Keen awareness of their environment


• Live in the present moment


• Enjoy a slower pace - they like to take time to savor the present moment


• Dislike dealing with theory or abstract thought, unless they see a practical application


• Faithful and loyal to people and ideas which are important to them


• Individualistic, having no desire to lead or follow


• Take things seriously, although they frequently appear not to


• Special bond with children and animals
  
• Quiet and reserved, except with people they know extremely well
  
• Trusting, sensitive, and kind


• Service-oriented; they're driven to help others


• Extremely well-developed appreciation for aesthetic beauty


• Likely to be original and unconventional


• Learn best with hands-on training


• Hate being confined to strict schedules and regimens


• Need space and freedom to do things their own way


• Dislike mundane, routine tasks, but will perform them if necessary

The ISFP is a very special individual who needs to have a career which is more than a job. The middle of the road is not likely to be a place where they will be fulfilled and happy. They need to have a career which is consistent with their strong core of inner values. Since they prefer to live in the current moment, and take the time to savor it, they do not do well with some of the more fast-paced corporate environments. They need a great deal of space and freedom if they are going to function in their natural realm of acute sensory awareness. If they give free reign to their natural abilities, they may find a wonderful artist within themselves. Almost every major artist in the world has been an ISFP. Since the ISFP is so acutely aware of people's feelings and reactions, and is driven by their inner values to help people, the ISFP is also a natural counselor and teacher.

The following list of professions is built on our impressions of careers which would be especially suitable for an ISFP. It is meant to be a starting place, rather than an exhaustive list. There are no guarantees that any or all of the careers listed here would be appropriate for you, or that your best career match is among those listed.

Possible Career Paths for the ISFP:

- Artist
- Musician / Composer
- Designer
- Child Care / Early Childhood Development
- Social Worker / Counselor
- Teacher
- Psychologist
- Veterinarian
- Forest Ranger
- Pediatrician
