OK. So Sun Tzu didn't actually post that. But I think he made a pretty good point. Pat, I have to say that I'm a little surprised to find you starting a thread like this - which is meant as nothing but a compliment. Take a step back, analyze the situation, develop a strategy, have clear and...

Video: How to design a logo, fast

This isn't a new problem. It's no more than a continuation of a long-standing trend that started with a disruptive technology introduced in the early 1980s. We've been having this conversation, in some shape of form, for at least 25 years. And the right answers have always been the same. Dan...

Sorry for your loss. Thought you might enjoy: Beau, by Jimmy Stewart.

Thanks again, folks. :) Jon, we Jons have to stick together. T3, I don`t know whether to be flattered, or creeped out. :) Just kidding. I am flattered.

Thanks folks. I post design-related stuff because I firmly believe that each of you has an opportunity to differentiate your businesses on the basis of design quality. Anybody can buy a digital printer and anybody can cut prices. There will always be somebody cheaper. If you want to compete on...

Some fresh stuff. Worth a look here.

Stop, drop, and roll. You people are "on fire". Tiki - Very classy. Everything I've ever seen you post is a winner. I understand why it's there, but I almost think the arrow is one element too many. Yours would also be great for an east end nightclub. Marco, Philip, Ian and Jamie - I like the...

I'm not a designer - so I can't give you a decent visual - but another direction to consider might be to reflect the character of the east end neighborhood, assuming that is where the properties (or the bulk of them) are, or will be. So, for example, if the east end has some predominant style of...

While this post is geared toward web designers, I'm willing to bet 'lefty' that you will find some really cool, really useful stuff here, with a bit of browsing.

This isn't specific to sign design, but many of the insights are applicable. Plus, this is great material to share via your blog - particularly if you can add your own commentary as a sign expert.

Plenty of great info to share with your customers: http://www.signs.org/IndustryResources/Signage101.aspx

PS - @CirclevilleSigns, I left a comment on your blog.

This is going to sound harsh, so I'll apologize in advance for offending anyone. Not my intent. Think of this as "tough love" (which it is)... Don't be a victim. If you can't afford a coach/consultant, commit yourself to finding other ways of acquiring the sales and marketing (or whatever...

Cool! Thanks!

Firefox user here... not seeing any weird stuff. Love your fonts. My favourite is Jillbeans!

It looks very nice, and +1 re Photos I would love to see testimonials in the big empty space on your green sidebar. If you want to be found via search, you should consider: Adding a blog, and regularly posting keyword rich content that is relevant, interesting and share-worthy to your target...

Teri, thank you - and it's all good. It's a standing offer,BTW. Hope you won't mind the suggestion that you and hubs should start by discussing and agreeing to what one change would have the greatest positive impact on your business. If needing more time to work on your business rather than in...

Stacy J, I always value your opinion. As above, I agree that a structured path would be beneficial and will raise that suggestion with my friend. The workbooks give practical action steps. But, as above, they will only ever be as valuable as your commitment to action. I'm honestly not...

Squeegee, thanks for your input. I will definitely speak to my friend about the "accountability piece" and would love to hear specific suggestions from you, and anyone else who cares to comment... That said, and with the greatest of respect, I think you should listen to that "guilt" of...
