18 Innovative Retro Logos – Old is Gold!

There is a common expression that “History repeats itself”. This is increasingly true in the case of trends and fads. Each and every industry has its own sets of trends that come and go every now and then. Similar is the case with the design industry where trends are always short-lived. There are some styles of logo designing that were famous in a certain point in time but lose their vigor after a while.

One familiar style of logo designing that has risen from the past is retro or vintage logos. Theses form of identities were prevalently used a couple of decades ago in the shape of crests and badges. When you employ this style in the present day and age, you signify your business picture as a culturally active company with rich brand heredity. Retro logos utilize grunge and other old-style effects to carve out a culture-oriented and mature corporate entity.

With the intention of demonstrating what retro logos actually look like, here is an innovative collection of 18 retro style logos:

For SEO, Your Competitor Is Your Best Friend

For some SEO is simple, while for others it’s a dangerous animal. It’s dangerous because you don’t know how it will behave. It’s unpredictable, frivolous and follows the master – Google. In this situation, your competitor is probably your best friend.

Which keywords is your competitor using?

I assume you know your competitors. Even if you don’t it doesn’t matter. You simply search for a specific keyword and you will get a list of competitors. These websites are doing well and we might as well look at their keyword strategy. To do this, you first have a look at the source code. In Chrome, you select   Wench – Tools – View Source. In Firefox, you must select Tools – Web Developer – Page Source. By doing this you will get to see the source code of the page. Sometimes and to some people this code will be daunting. My advice is not to be afraid. Go forth and explore the jungle. Once you get used to it you will access some of the most useful information. You will know which keywords and combinations are used by your competitors. You have to simply replicate the same. Let me tell you that this strategy works and works well.

Getting a handle on backlinks

With the latest Panda update, Google search algorithm has taken a massive tilt towards backlinks – also called reputation by Alexa. You must therefore know which all links your competitor has managed to get. There are many tools out there which track backlinks. The best among them is Alexa. It’s also free. By using Alexa you will know exactly which sites are linked to your competitor. This is a golden mine of information. For example, my website deals with car title loans and I simply tracked the backlinks of my competitor using Alexa. This took me less than a minute. Within a week I had over a hundred qualified links back to my site.

Mind-Mapping 101: Why It’s Perfect for Designers

Whether you have a high stress job, a stay at home parent (talk about high stress), or just have a lot of things to do, everyone has moments when things get out of control. To tell you a little bit about my current situation: I just moved to California from Illinois so I need to buy all new furniture. I am moving on Saturday, but unfortunately the new bed I bought cannot be delivered until two weeks after my move in date. I decided to pick it up and rent a UHaul, but I have just discovered that I cannot find my license anywhere (so my ability to rent a UHaul is looking questionable). I now have to go get a California driver’s license on my one hour lunch break (good luck to me) and hope that I pass the vision and 36 question test. The next step is to get California plates sometime before I get pulled over and they realize I have a California license. Fortunately, I only have one day to figure this all out. Did I say fortunately? I meant incredibly unfortunately. Needless to say I’ve been feeling a bit frantic.

The 5 Obstacles to Success in Blogging, and What to Do About Them?

Creating remarkable content and a blog with great followers, was one of my last years resolutions. Still, while I was working hard, to figure out, how to master the art of blogging and starting to recognize the powerful impact a blog can have on my online business success, that didn’t mean that I didn’t have any obstacles.

See for any skill that you are trying to master, there are two elements, inner game, and outer game. The Outer Game in terms of blogging, may be the things that people see, like your blog, design, content, logo, tag line, and your message. But the other side of the coin is the inner game of blogging, which in my opinion, I believe is the most powerful, because that’s what drives you to become better, and to finally reach your goals.

Web Design on a Budget: What’s Absolutely Necessary?

Every business wants a really cool website, but many realize this is easier said than done. Too often entrepreneurs get involved in website design thinking it’s easy, but quickly realize that the term “web designer” actually means something. You may have the vision, but you will likely need someone to put it into action. So what’s the trouble? The budget.

The budget is always getting in the way of cool new business ideas. Regardless, it is still extremely important to have a quality website. You can do a great job driving traffic to that website or getting people interested through traditional marketing, but it doesn’t mean much if people look at your website and run the other way. After all, a quality company always has a quality website—at least that’s the mentality.
