FALCON Advocacy

Any branding/logo experts out there? I am in the planning stages of a travel agency and need a company name/identity. There are so many options but many names are far too obvious and used. I need something that makes it unique.

Any input??

Thanks!

This is a great article about – How to Select a Company or Product Name – http://www.developer-resource.com/how-to-select-a-company-name.htm

The article has some good advice on how to research names, and what to becareful of.

As far as building a corporate identity and brand. Why don’t you search existing logo sites to get ideas?

Here are some to try -

I am freelancing logo design and need a contract format to use. Is there one online that I can use for free? If not, if other people have one on their own, I would much appreciate it!

The AIGA is the American Institute of the Graphic Arts. Their site’s section on Design&Business has a set of useful forms, and contract examples. Start there.

Maybe powerpoint?

If you need to make professional quality business cards, you’ll need to design it appropriately. You’ll need to work in a professional application, such as, photoshop, and set up your business card accordingly. The printer I use has guidelines on how to set it up. Good Luck!

I would like to have my own customised background on the emails I send. I know I can select a different one from selecting one from the yahoo ones..but I want to have my own one.

I can’t see any way to do it.Can you Help me?

i dont think thats available in free yahoo!

I am currently a junior in high school (also taking classes at the local college to get ahead) and want to have a career in some sort of computer based designing, but I can’t choose. The two I’m mainly considering are web design and graphic design. I personally would prefer being in graphic design, but I hear that the income isn’t that great, and I’m not that creative or decisive, so I’m leaning towards web design. I’m just not that sure, though.
I’m trying to find out class and skill requirements, annual salary, and maybe more details about each career. Also personal input would be great, too!

Web design is pretty much what it sounds like- it’s designing for the internet, whether it’s creating websites or working in programs like Flash. Also, you do have to be some what creative when designing websites, but I know some web design majors who prefer the coding part rather than the design part.

Graphic design is designing mostly for print, with some designing for the web (ex: banner ads). In graphic design you can do numerous things like working on layouts for magazines, creating logos or designing packaging for consumer goods.

As far as income goes, it all depends on where you live, how much experience you have and what your job title is. A junior designer obviously won’t be making as much as a senior designer or an art director. You’ll just have to do some of your own research to figure out how much a graphic designer makes versus a web designer.

I will tell you from personal experience that there does seem to be a lot more web design jobs out there. I majored in graphic design and although I enjoy what I do, its been really tough finding a full-time job, but hopefully the economy will get better soon!
