Gelateria Fiorentina Logo

Fleurdely's Bakeshop (main branch in Kiarong) has a new product to offer. It's under a separate new image. Watch out for their opening in August or September in Kiulap Mall, Bandar Seri Begawan.

Here are some logo designs i proposed to my client. I've just put it below into one scratch pad for blog viewing purposes. These logos have been made according to client's preferences and creative brief, but most of the time I propose my own idea and explain how it works better with the other (the pros and cons). Now, I've been busy doing their other marketing materials including packaging, advertisements and their menu book.

And here are the final logos and stationary.

My Blog Worth...

My blog is worth $1,129.08.
How much is your blog worth?

I've found this cool applet from my friend Rano of ranoadidas.com.
My graphicfirst.blogspot.com, have just started last month, but it has already gained popularity compared to my other blog since last year. I'm not sure if the URL name counts, but putting up a good strategic name might hit the mark. A great site/blog name is very good for SEO (search engine optimization) purposes, but for me, I use a simple term "stick-to-the-brain" name that the market will surely remember.

I have my GraphicFirst.com which is auto-directed to this blog, registered last year, but i cannot manage and conceptualize the whole site yet. If there's someone interested to buy that domain name, please let me know. Remember that it's easy to think for a good business name, but it's seldom available in the .com industry.

Goodluck my fellow designers who blog!
