I love it!

Dave:  NewTimes Roman in Red on Blue background.  That's it.

Thats ludicrous... a logo is a companies identity... it defines a company to anyone looking in... and more importantly it is a significant display of... ah bugger it, im talking crap, the company makes the logo famous... you could have a sports warehouse logo that looks like a dolphin caught in a fish net and it will still grow in popularity as the company does... especially if you get an aab catch phrase to go with it... like, nobody  catches the best like you do with sportsmans warehouse... blah blah... i do enjoy making pretty logos though

Do we all get to make custom LOGOS? Cause i got my personal logo here to Ye know, explain my role a bit more http://www.gwema.org/srlogo.jpg   he hehe

I didn't think of this till now, but we'll be studying this very subject in the coming year.

I'm doing a website re-design, where the old one doesn't even have a logo. Just the name of the company in text. And I don't mean "plain text is the company logo", I mean someone physically made the frickin page that way.... plain text.

The actual logo, is not only VERY professional looking, but it's also simple, to the point, and catchy.

When I get the thing done, I'm going to ask for a site review, and also have some screen shots available of the old one so you can see the big difference.

What I'm hoping to see here is better conversions via professional design..... cause the old one sucks BAD!!!

Freebies and speed can also help make a difference. You guys will find my upcoming site a bit interesting, it has zero white space, the colors and branding should really help people associate our site with being able to fulfill their actual needs.

Hmmm -- what kind of freebies, WS?  Not all sites will be able to provide any type of freebies, like mine for instance ... looking forward to seeing your new site!

TA, the offers don’t necessarily have to be something tangible or even a current product. Though it requires a little testing and dabbling with different offers, you can try things like offering free shipping for customers that double up, a promotional item like a pen or mouse pad (most of which are surprisingly cheap), a discount on future purchases, etc. Invest 50c to $5.00 per offer and profits will increase.

We have customers that specifically buy 2 shirts just so they can get free shipping or a Hawaiian lei, they will actually call us just to remind us not to forget the free lei. So it is apparently quite important that they walked away with a good deal

Scour over a few of our current Aloha freebies and maybe it will trigger an idea or 2

Oh, as long as you don’t look at the source you will like it, its CSS and tables and I didn’t bother closing many font tags. But we did use a professional artist in Hawaii for the graphics. Eivissu does nice work

What source code?   Nah; don't care about anyone's source code anymore, just as long as mine is as perfect as I can get it.

I looked at your freebies and still can't think of anything I can put on my site that would be of any interest -- { shrugs } -- will have to ponder that for awhile

TA, how about a complimentary airline pillow (they all use them, hint, hint) or a featured customer of the month page (prospective customers may be enticed by that)

Free information doesn't cost anything to ship.

I keep harping on the benefits of offering people tips, suggestions, specials and hints, and yours would be travel related...only costs some time and effort and can be sent out via email.

Couldn't resist getting involved.

You've won me...well done...I'd certainly consider bumping up my order to reach those limits...I love to THINK I've got a good deal (even if it isn't).

Now that you've turned 21, ya think you can join the big boy's making banners, huh?

Stop yer whinging... i was a big boy at least three weeks before i turned 21

I dont like this free stuff story... it never really feels like i get anything free cause i know there is extra profit on the other side regardless, i certainly wouldnt give anything away for free... im to much of a stoog. Then again, my prices are stupid cheap when it comes to design - i doubt the Game Reserve would let me give away game anyhow... interesting idea though, "STAY FOR FOUR NIGHTS AND TAKE HOME YOUR OWN ELEPHANT... shipping excluded" ha ha ha

Give away free Lions..... bwaaa ha ha ha ha ha.....
