Brand Identity of Entrepreneurs

Here is a pretty good article on the importance of developing a good band identity for entrepreneurs for your reference.
_____________________________________________

You know that saying, “don’t judge a book by it’s cover”? Unfortunately, people do. You never get a second chance to make a first impression. People judge others on their appearance first, and instinctively, someone’s face is the first thing you judge. You’re probably just as guilty of it as I am.

How about an analogy? If your business is a person, your logo is its face, and your brand identity is its clothing. People will judge you on it, and make their choices based upon it. Large businesses lose big if they make bad branding choices; Just look at the 2012 London Olympics, the Tropicana rebrand, or in the 90’s, “New” Coke.

I'll be honest; I've totally

I'll be honest; I've totally winged it with door64. I spent time on creating a logo, and in the end I just came up with something. I have always valued function over form...something that works and provides value versus something that just looks pretty. But I also suppose a logo is just part of the brand itself.

I guess it is OK. I do not

I guess it is OK. I do not know what door 64 means, and if someone asked me what it stands for I would have a hard time conveying that. Usually, people "prefer" things that are easy on the eyes (so to speak).

Hum, since MOST of us on this post / group are nerds/ geeks/ engineers we do not use doors, but portals. I see the node the Commodore64, but I would have a futuristic view so some of my names would have been:

Power Portal
Portal64
Tele Portal
Square 8 Portal
Cyber Portal
Cyber 64 Portal
Cylone Portal
Portal Gallatica
Portal of the Universe
