Ok so i just i got my website up still need to fix a few bugs in it though. But i have been search for a way to be different, recognizable and memorable thats what a corporate identity is for right. after the web site, the hosting and every thing else i had to buy  i have a little over $200 left and i want to spend it on my business identity. what i need is a logo a new booklet design and some business cards. Do any of the sun members do any of those things?????

I think you`re looking for a graphic artist? They`ll usually develop a logo, then colors, and an overall look-and-feel. Y`know who`s good at this (and I`m sure there are other community members), is LogoMotives (Jeff).

Craig -

Thanks so much for the mention - and, yes, there are also other graphic designers on the SuN who do similar work.

The interesting thing about the original poster`s request is that what he has left in his budget won`t even cover a couple hours of my time - and an effective corporate identity (and supporting materials) should require much more thought and effort.

I run into similar situations quite often.  While the corporate identity package should be one of the initial things considered by a new business owner - or at least part of the original business plan - it is often one of the last elements given serious thought and planning.

Here`s an article I wrote on just this topic:

The high cost of saving money on a business image

Again, Craig, thanks for the referral/recommendation.

Hey, Jeff, just keepin` things goin` here in the community.... (Not to mention your most excellent advice in so many areas!)

i have a logo how do i get it patent where no one else will take it

Hire an attorney specializing in patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Another community member who comes to mind, in this instance, would be PatentAndTrademark (James)

Sergio I`d just pick a nice font for your business name and go with that for now. Many brands are just a font.
