One, Two...

more logos for you...hee hee! Okay, perhaps a bit too much Sesame Street in the mornings, huh. Gotta love the Count, right? Well, moving on...I got a couple more logos done and thought I'd share them with you.

Maria of Cucamonga, CA contacted me about designing a logo for her Spray Tanning business...hmm, the luxury of a tan without having to sit out in the sun...nice! She wanted a scripty font and earthy colors...

Malisa, on the other hand, was looking for a clean logo with a splash of fun.

Maria and Malisa - I enjoyed working with both of you on your business logos.
I wish you much luck with everything you do...hope to work with you guys in the future!

There's a light at the end of this tunnel...

and I can finally see it! I've been swamped with design work lately...and no, I'm not complaining at all, but it feels good to be seeing the light again.

This logo is one of the latest of many that I've been working on.

Lauren - I wish you the best of luck with your business.
Thanks for allowing me to work with you on your logo!

in a FLASH...

...what can you do in a flash?

You can be there...you can run by...you can leave...well

now you can show off some of your work in your Blogger blog header...

...in a F-L-A-S-H blog header!

milanophotographytotheedge.blogspot.com

After several months of working around with the CSS code from blogger, I've finally figured out how to get a flash banner to work...and let me tell you, it was so worth it.

For the time being, I will be offering blogger blog design with a flash header for $70*

So many people want a blog that stands out from all the plain blogger templates that are offered, but don't have the time or the patience to figure out how to customize things on blogger...if that sounds like you, then let me customize your blog for you. Backgrounds, flash photo blog header, menu bar, links, colors, etc.


If you only want your header designed, for use on a different type of blog, I can design a Flash header to your size specifications for only $40.


*You must have a place to upload the blog header .swf file to - such as your own website or other online storage space - and be able to link to it. If you need for me to host it on my own site, you will be charged $12/year for me to host it.

a ROCKIN' new blog

Blogger Designs

So many people want a blog that stands out from all the plain templates, but don't have the time or the patience to figure out how to customize things on blogger...if that sounds like you, then let me customize your blog for you. For a short time, I will be offering Blogger blog set-up and design at a discount. Backgrounds, blog headers, links, colors, etc. (This service is only for Blogger blogs. Logo design is not included in this service.)

Here are a couple samples of custom blogs:

Jordan's blog uses a design that she found on istock or dreamstime. The design was rearranged and customized to fit the needs of her blog. I also designed a coordinating blog header to go with her new blog design.

Both of Natalie's blogs use a background that was customized with the flourishes and colors from her logo. The second blog (bottom) also has a custom e-mail link. Both blogs have a custom header featuring her logo and photos.

This logo fit her to a tee! Looking for a logo for your business? Why not check out the Swept Up Logo Gallery? These are logos that were custom designed for other clients, but weren't used. Get your own, unique logo at a fraction of the time and cost. (Once a logo is sold, it is no longer available, so you still have a unique logo.)

Okema - It was great working with you. Good luck with your business!

How fun is this?

Michelle contacted me to design her logo while I was feeling quite under the weather with bronchitis, but she stuck it out and, even though we switched it all up mid-way through the process, she ended up with a rockin', fun logo!

If you're in the Scotts Valley, California area and looking for someone to do your family portraits give Michelle Riddle a call at 831-420-0611!

Michelle - thanks for working with me through my illness. I appreciate your patience. You were a pleasure to work with and I look forward to working with you again in the future. Good luck!
