If you are a frequent visitor to my website and blog, you'll notice that I commissioned a new logo for my business. I used a designer, and now the logo is on my website, blog, twitter, and LinkedIn.
I previously used a motif of a jigsaw puzzle on my business cards because it is a metaphor for strategy. But, as my mentor Alan Weiss pointed out when he saw my new logo, my designer made a subtle, elegant addition—when the last puzzle piece is snapped in place, you have an arrow pointing up (for progress). I didn't catch this myself!
Why create a logo?
Building a brand is very important in today's world of Attention Scarcity. My business is at a stage where it is growing, and I'm reaching ever-wider audiences. Businesses today need a brand which reflects their values and is aesthetically pleasing.
