Much like these over exaggerated interpretations, corporate logos are often designed to represent much more than their surface appearance. Throughout my career, I have been involved in a number of logo design projects. During the process, the company’s leaders give a list of attributes they wish the logo to convey. The design team then spends long hours trying to find the right iconic imagery, type treatment, and colors which send the proper message. Every detail is scrutinized and in the end the perfect logo is unveiled to the public with much fanfare. When the "New" AT&T unveiled its logo, the press release described the re-branding like this:

"The revitalized mark symbolizes these attributes — innovation, integrity, quality, reliability and unsurpassed customer care."

For instance, health club logo designs display dumbb

seen a little bit more than the obvious in our food or in the clouds? I grew up with wood paneling in my bedroom and I had a number of faces and animals that hid within the wood grain. But when all is said and done, should we really get that excited when Mother Teresa appears in a cinnamon bun? After all, aren’t people reading a little too much into things by declaring this a miracle and encouraging people to make a pilgrimage to see it?

An Introduction to Motivational Speaking
Everybody speaks. Some people speak and get elected president of the United States. Other people speak and armies of business people take to the streets, generating huge sums of money.

What Color is Your Yellow Pages Ad
In the beginning, Yellow Pages ads were, well, yellow. With black type. Then, in an effort to jump start sales, the clever people who invented Yellow Pages in 1886, the Reuben H. Donnelly Corporation, figured an inexpensive way to add red to the ads. Red borders, red type. Higher rates.With the monopoly broken all over the country there are now Yellow Books, Yellow Pages, McLeodUSA Books and a whole bun

The Procurement
There are several things that are important about procurement that you should consider. In a business standpoint, timing is virtually essential. If you are like many business owners, the best time is the time when prices will be low enough to handle. This can be quite difficult to call and even more so, it will be difficult to manage. But, when procurement is used effectively, your business truly can reach n

" Transparency was added to the globe to represent clarity and vision. Lowercase type is now used for the "AT&T" characters because it projects a more welcoming and accessible image."

It is all well and good to want to develop a logo which represents the attributes of a company, but the real question is will the employees, stake holders, and customers really see it. More importantly, if they do see the logo as representing those things, will the company live up to the logo’s promise or will it be just another marketing message which is undermined when someone interacts with the company and discovers a less than extraordinary experience.

While the proper logo is important, companies must remember a strong brand is more than just a good logo. The companies brand is a reflection of everything they say and do, both inside and outside the organization. Therefore proper brand development must go beyond the creation of visual identities and marketing materials. The entire organization must work to develop extraordinary experiences which create loyal internal and external advocates who are passionate about the organization.
