PSA...Back-up and Protect!
So, if some of you are wondering where I've been, why I haven't been returning e-mails and where your designs are, I've just spent many, MANY, many hours reformatting my computer and reinstalling EVERYTHING on to it...BLAH!
I wasn't using a current Anti-Virus program (shame on me) and I found out the hard way why you should keep those programs current and updated. I'm VERY thankful that 99.8% of my work was completely backed up onto an external so I didn't lose anything major, other than very precious time.

So, my Public Service Announcement to you is two-fold.
#1 - Make sure you're using a good Anti-Virus program and keep it updated, and
#2 - Be sure to always back up your work on a regular basis...just in case!

Fresh and Fun
Patty contacted me the other day to design her photography logo and a watermark to match it. She was looking for something that was fresh and fun; something that didn't have tons of flourish or floral; Something simple but with a touch of vintage to it.
The bright colors in her logo are very fresh and fun and the distressed font gives the simple layout just the right amount of vintage.

Colors of the stripes and borders can be changed. You can have all stripes, all spots, grunge only, mix and match, your choice! How cool is that?
Swept Up Logos
Yes, I've been very busy lately working on logos, among other things, and yes, my waiting list seems to be growing by the minute. I'm still accepting new clients for design work, but if you don't feel you can wait, I might just have a solution for you...
As you know, it usually takes more than one try to get a logo perfect and ready to go for a client. Along the way, many great design concepts are cut to the design room floor. Well, I've swept up those logos and decided to try to find them a home. The solution, the Swept Up Logo Center - providing quality logo designs to those who need them quickly! Does this mean that everyone will have the same logo as you...no, it simply means that if you like any of the logo designs in the collection of Swept Up Logos, then you can purchase it. The logo then becomes unavailable to anyone else. I will then customize the logo with your business name and change the colors to suit your needs. (No other changes will be made to the design.)
a design for brown...
Melissa Brown, of Springfield, Illinois, contacted me about designing her logo. She was looking for a logo that was appealing to both young and old alike. Something that was simple enough to use on everything. She also requested a coordinating watermark for her photos and back of cards. Here is the design we finalized last night...
I used brown to play off of her last name and her favorite color is blue, so we had to add it into the mix. The best thing is that this logo has a variety of simple variations that she can use depending on the promotional piece she's using it on.
Could it be Gold?
Nah, but it is some beautiful jewelry! I was thrilled when I was asked to work with Kimberly Smoot Photography to create a logo, business cards and website for this wonderful company.
Elizabeth and Victoria sell beautiful jewelry and accessories with a portion of proceeds going to the Children's Miracle Network.
