Hi, thanks for asking. At the moment, I am focusing on writing for the blog at Doxdirect, you can read some of my posts here: http://www.doxdirect.com/blog/. We have a business orientated infographic on the blog called "An Ode to Doxdirect". It's a bit of light hearted fun. Personally, I like to...

Thanks for the link Tony, an excellent article. I particularly like : Ask yourself the following questions about the submitted designs: How many of the logos make a great first impression? Can you describe any of them? If you had to draw one in 5 seconds, could you? Are they...

Hi, I like your improvements to the logo! I don't think St Helens is too similar at all. St Helens reminds me of a School logo... I would choose your improved logo version, well done

Nice detail, obviously a lot of research has gone into this. It would be good to share around the time of a large football event. Bright, colourful and eye-catching everything an infographic needs. Food for thought about the growing use of infographics on the net for visual generations!

As mentioned above, the internet is all about branding. Investing in your identity from the very start will pay for itself over and over again. That said, you may find a very talented graphic design student who can achieve a similar quality for a fractional cost!

Hi there, it's all about branding in 2014! Branding is now King. However, one of the best link building strategy lists can be found on a blog, I recall it's called Point Blank SEO. Hope this helps. In fact, this reference is a good example of creating something that is worth linking to and...

I would have to agree, it sounds like Wordpress is the best option for you, for the above reasons. The plugins are a breeze to use and mostly free as well. For blogging, it can't be beaten. If you're planning to be a coder you need to learn HTML and CSS from scratch as it will be really...

On this thread, I would say this is the best description of a brand's personality for me. It's a concept rather than a concrete reality. An abstract noun like love, you know it but can't adequately put it into a box by describing it. Colours, symbols, style and context yes, but above all, I...

Yes, I checked back today to see if there were any updates. How are you getting on?

Hi I have to agree with Fruitbat above. The 2 new logos are an improvement which shows there is still a lot more work to be done. Why use the word talk? What about awareness? That's what the Charity is trying to raise. The purple softens the logo and makes it more accessible. Lipoedema Awareness...

Thinking of towels how about tea towels? Much more cost effective and hang around in a kitchen for years increasing brand recognition and embedding your charity subconsciously into their minds on a daily basis. Also the principle of recipriocity would still be achieved, it's more how you give...

A clever 'take' on your initials and shows creativity and flair. I prefer the first one in bold, if that helps...

mmm I agree, it looks more like a dollar sign than S and H. That's great if you want your clients to think about money straight away!

The saying goes, if at first you don't succeed, try and try again. There's plenty of support on here so you're in good hands

I agree, how do the two match up? I wonder how you finally resolved this? What was the final product and how is the branding going? I would love to know, just out of curiosity.
