22 Reader Remarks

1. The third logo! But I think it’d look more descriptive of the site if it included a computer.

2. I’d definitely choose the third logo.

   I’ve seen the second, I remember using the website that produced it a couple of years ago. It just doesn’t have the look of a working at home theme.

3. I actually used the second one (except with my sites name) about 5 years ago in some kind of auto generating thing on a web site. The first one looks kind of cool but is a bit too busy and really doesn’t communicate anything. The third one is too complicated for a logo and is too hard to read. You need find a fairly simple vector shape that communicates all your priciples i.e. working,home,internet (the first thing that popped into my mind was a smiley face inside a basic house shape over a circle representing the world/Internet.

4. Hey Alfa and Ripley,
   That’s 2 for #3
   I like that one too, but I have yet to figure out how to get a computer superimposed. I’m still working on that.
   Thanks for your input.

5. Hey Patrick,
   I actually like all 3 but can’t make up my mind. Each has it’s good points and detractions, that’s why I’m asking for help in trying to make a decision.
   I really want simple and clean describing the site at a glance. That’s not as easy as it sounds.
   THis may take more time than I thought, but it should be worth it in the end.
   Thanks.

6. The 3rd one wins in my opinion. Here are some thoughts on it:
   I agree that adding a computer to it would be great.

   The yellow is too bright in my opinion - more of a mustard would be good.

   I think that the gray could be brightened - it seems very drab to me.

7. Hey Brooke,
   That Logo came from one of the predetermined templates from says-it.com
   I think I’ll try to overlay a globe instead of the circle and change the text.
   OR, find a computer to overlay for the house and change the text.
   Mabe even delete the text all together.
   You are all being so helpful.
   Thanks.

8. I really like the simplicity of it…that’s why it’s been hard to come up with an idea of how to add a computer.

   Regardinng the text - can you make it stretch to fit the whole dark gray section?

9. Brooke,
   It seems most everyone likes #3. I have to find a way to add and subtract features offline somehow.
   I’m not very good at using some of the editing programs I have. Now might be a good time to learn though.

   I think I’ll work on some of those suggestions on #3 since it is the leader so far.

   Input by Joe | March 20, 2007 @ 9:49 am

10. If you could do the following on #3 it would help;

    1.) Increase the font and maybe change it to something thicker and sans serif

    2.) Instead of the grays use black and white

    3.) change the cog color to blue

    4.) where did the house part of the logo come from? It’s the same thing as the “Equal Housing Lender” logo. I know because I have done some signage for a local bank and they have required that logo on their signs.

    Input by Patrick | March 20, 2007 @ 10:30 am

11. Hey Patrick,
    The =house came from the logo maker I used. I would like to replace the = with a computer screen of some sort.
    If I use the world background then I get rid of the “cogs” entirely and the background circle would be replace with a sectioned (minutes/degrees type) earth.
    If everything I want to do works, the only thing left in the #3 logo will be the house and color and possibly some text as you suggested earlier: Work,Home,Internet.

    I’m really glad I asked for everyone’s help, I want something that will represent the site and all of these suggestions are leading me in the right direction.

12. Hmmm… well in hopes that you really meant it when you said you appreciated my candor… personally I don’t like any of them - they look like they were made with generic online tools and such…

    I’d be happy to whip something up for ya, Joe… por gratis, of course!

13. Check your email, Guiseppe!

    Input by Lara | March 20, 2007 @ 1:55 pm

14. Hey Lara,
    I got your email… Thanks.
    I will put your design up very soon and let people see what you came up with. (I already decided to go with it )
    Now for Implimentation!!!

    Input by Joe | March 20, 2007 @ 4:50 pm

15. I like your choice and the design. The shape is both growth focused and a ver minimal design that still communicates a home. I also like how you slightly alter the design for each intended purpose yet still retain the design itself.

    Input by Patrick | March 20, 2007 @ 8:55 pm

16. Thanks Patrick - that’s exactly what I was going for with it. Simplicity, focus, and cross-compatibility.

    I’m so glad you like it Joe!!

    Input by Lara | March 20, 2007 @ 9:21 pm

17. That’s a very nice logo. It was excellent of Lara to do that for you. I’m adding Anubis Marketing to my blogroll.

    Input by Ripley | March 21, 2007 @ 8:27 am

18. Hey Lara,
    You Know how much I Like it…
    @Partick, Lara does know what she’s doing with a Website/Blog doesn’t she.
    Thanks all for your input on this project. All very good hints and tips.

19. Hey Ripley,
    Yeah, I like it too. And you couldn’t do better than to add Laura to your blogroll, good move.
    Joe

20. Yes, I’m glad she could help you. I would have offered to do more myself yesterday but my schedule was crazy but glad I could help out in the way I could. I’m bookmarking/subscribing to her site as reference and networking of like-minded workers.

    Input by Patrick | March 21, 2007 @ 8:43 am

21. Patrick,
    Thanks for the help. As I told Ripley, good move adding Lara to your bookmarks.
    I’ve subscribed to her Blog for I don’t even know how long.

    Input by Joe | March 21, 2007 @ 8:54 am

22. Awhhh thanks everyone!! I’m beaming!
    I’ve “known” Joe for quite some time now, and for everything he does for other work-at-home people, I just felt that he deserved to have something really nice.
