Effective Logo Design

What makes a good logo? Experts have debated the topic for years. There are some basic guidelines to follow including:

- Make it memorable

- It should evoke an emotional response

- It must reproduce well in various scales

- Make it eye-catching

But beyond these basics, there are some additional rules that may help you fine-tune your logo:

- If using color, be sure to pick a color palette that elicits the proper response and doesn’t give customers the wrong reaction.

- Use a unique but user-friendly font that draws customers in. Mixing fonts within a logo design can also be an easy way to make it stand out.

- Use texture and detailing in small doses to augment the design, but don’t overuse them as they become ineffective when used throughout.

- Be different – don’t copy logos that have worked for other companies. What worked for them may not work for you so find your own voice.

- Keep it balanced. You want your logo to be original, but if it becomes too quirky, your meaning may be lost.

Logos are your company’s calling card and a potential customer’s first impression. They should be designed with great care and consideration. If you are in need of a new logo or would like to redesign your current logo, please give us a call at 717-371-5302 for a free estimate.

Using Your Resume to Sell Yourself

By Lisa Rabzak, Owner • April 3, 2025

Writing a resume isn't just about detailing your professional history - it's about reflecting who you are as an employee and what you can bring to the table for potential employers. When properly conveyed, these unique attributes will allow you to stand out from other applicants. The best way to showcase your talents is to highlight your past accomplishments. Articulate what you did, why you did it, how you did it, and the end result for your clients, team, and company. Specifically mention quantifiable successes using numbers, percentages or time frames. These can include sales and revenue enhancements, cost savings, and process improvements. Also mention special projects you led or contributed to as part of a team and include the result following project completion. Quantifying accomplishments shows hiring managers that you are results-driven and are able to make a significant contribution to company operations. Always remember that employers are looking for job candidates that can produce results and advance corporate objectives. To be an attractive candidate, utilize your past successes to provide examples of who you are as an employee and what you can do for a new employer. Need assistance crafting your resume?
