Trends with logos We're back for the second half of round 2 on the Financial Couch with Gareth Burley. During 2015 we were given an opportunity to do a series of interviews on the Financial Couch with Gareth Burley on KingfisherFM. All our calendars are printed using the latest digital printing technology, giving you a top quality professional full colour product. We take your photo’s and special dates, and we make a personalised calendar especially for you! Calendars can be branded with your logo and company colours just as a start! We can create a calendar designed with your latest school photographs, pictures and possibly even scholars artwork with all your sports days, events and functions captured for the year! Take a listen to our conversation, and take a moment to consider your logo, and what you’re communicating through it! And while that is true, there is more to it than meets the eye. When you start thinking about your business, your brand idea can determine various factors in the business. Your brand idea is really a description of what your brand stands for, and once that has been determined, can be the deciding factor when making decisions about your business and your brand. Your business starts off with the right building blocks because your identity is already defined, and this can give you an immense amount of vision and direction. Determining your target market becomes that much easier, because you know who you are. You can attract the right investors, the right customers, and potentially the right employees, all leading to the growth of your business. Even if your business is not in the start-up phase, write your brand idea down. Your brand is your business, so make sure that you do the best that you can for your brand. Here are some mistakes to avoid making when developing your brand into something memorable. Don’t design your own logo (if you aren’t a designer!) Make sure that it’s done by a professional who has the skill and eye for an amazing logo that you can live with for a long time. A logo that you’ve put together in MS Word is not going to cut it if you’re in this for the long haul. Your logo is only the start of the story that is your brand. You have this great logo developed, but when you send an email, does your logo get dumped at the end of it? Every aspect and element of your brand should be consistent it telling your story. It can take years to establish your business in the market. We’d love to assist you in building your brand into something great!
