Sarah Ra'anan had me design her original logo just over two years ago...since then, I've worked with her many times on templates for cards and storyboards. Over the years, her business has grown and her style has changed. With an upcoming move for her family as well as her business, she decided that now was the perfect time to revamp her logo.

I also worked up this little divider with her initials that she will be using to separate her posts as well as as her header.

Sarah - Thank you for being such an awesome client over the past couple years. I wish you and your family the best and hope that your move goes smoothly. I look forward to doing business with you again once you're all settled!

Logos To Suit Every Need...

Kelly took advantage of one of my Swept Up Logos.

Swept Up Logos are logo designs that were concept ideas for other people, but they weren't chosen as the final logo. For a discounted price, these logos can be customized to be your very own. If you don't have the money to spend on a new logo design or the time to wait for one to be designed, check out the Swept Up Logo gallery to see if one of these designs fits your needs.

Spring is in the air!

Andrea contacted me because she needed her blog redesigned. While working on her blog, she also decided she needed a new logo to go along with it. What a perfect way to kick off the spring season, a fresh, new logo.

In honor of one of my daughter's favorite Halloween cartoons, Spookley the Square Pumpkin, here's a 5x7 card template full of square pumpkins.

This card would normally only be available for purchase, but it will be available for a limited time only, for FREE. Download it now, because when this offer is over, it will be gone forever! Mwwaaaahaaaaahaaaaaahaaaa...okay, well maybe not forever, but it won't be available for free anymore.

Feel free to use this card for your friends, family and clients, but do not sell the template as your own. Thanks.

A Knight To Further His Kingdom...

Gayle contacted me about designing a logo for their school's annual auction. Here's the final logo for this year's auction...

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!

Bubblegum, bubblegum, in a dish...

...how many pieces do you wish? Doesn't this logo take you back to your childhood?

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.

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.
