I just received my first batch of business cards from Moo. They are excellent in terms of printing.
They are not so good in terms of design. I was eager to get cards printed and ready to give out. I used some of my favorite photos of Mochi and the bay. They are too dark to be ideal for business cards.
Thinking of business identity, I favor a logo that is both the website logo and a prominent feature of the business card. Having just preached that, I’ll practice it soon.
What’s the site icon? It’s that little image in your browser tab for this site.
How does it differ from the site logo? The site logo is the image at the top right of every post and page of this site.
The above answers are short, simple, and specific. If you want more detail, I recommend RockPaperSimple’s account of the difference between icon and logo.
For this site, I’m challenged by the site logo decision, and confident in my site icon decision.
This site needs a logo. This is what i’m about to set as the logo.
But I have my doubts. Is it the right photo? Is it the right crop? Should the site title (Webbed Dog, of course) be part of the logo? What about the site tagline (Worldwide Websites, Rhode Island Dog Walking)?
I’m fairly sure that the site title should be part of the logo. But could it be better incorporate? I’m finding it particularly difficult to get the text color right.
I’m using Flickr to edit the image, by the way. I haven’t used Flickr much for years, but I should either use it or move my photos elsewhere.
I’m interested in your thoughts on this logo, or on site logos in general.
Webbed Dog is powered by WordPress. I have used WordPress for more than ten years, seeing it grow from a blogging tool into a publishing platform used for a wide variety of websites.
For the forseeable future, I will build websites with WordPress. That said, if you prefer a different platform, we can discuss it.
A rich ecosystem thrives around WordPress. For example, thousands of different themes are available. Once I understand your requirements, including what you want your site to look like, I can advise on theme selection.
Webbed Dog uses the Neve theme, as do thousands of other WordPress sites. Since Neve is customizable, each of these sites has its own look and character.
Webbed Dog is hosted by SiteGround.
