Have you seen this LOGO?

Shortly after taking this candid shot of my kids, I decided to use it for marketing and I have been using it ever since. I have since registered the TM and copyrights. Creating an image of association is everything with out it COKE wouldn't be COKE. I have gone to many conventions and was recognized in by a group of guys from Australia that I had meet 3 years prior who yelled at me as I was going down the escalator: "Hey aren't you the "I Want My OWN ROOM, girl?" it is funny how people forget your name but an image associated with a name leave a message that is forever associated with you. Pick a logo or a picture, associated with yours you too can give birth to a new trade.

I am glad I use this one not only is it a great conversation piece, but once you give it to your customers on the back of a business card they know what you are working for...

Let's use this Blog to place our Logos, tradenames, etc.

a highly caffeinated creative type...

Since we're sharing logos, here are a couple of mine. The first was text superimposed over a section of one of my paintings, the 2nd was a pic from when I was around 2 years old(I think), probably making my first sales call. ;-)

Rosa, The photo stopped me dead in my tracks. It is a classic brother/sister photo! I think you really have something there for marketing to growing/expanding families.

Great topic to bring up...

My husband, Jeff Quigley (also an AR member) is an Art Director in the advertising industry, so in my house image is everything.

I carry my logo through on anything that I can put it on: my van, t-shirts, all my tool kits and storage bins, to name a few.

Rosa,

I can see why people remember that picture - how precious it is and how ingenious of you to use it as you do! Wonderful marketing!

I've toyed with the idea of a logo for me to use, but have never been creative enough to come up with anything. I enjoyed seeing the logos that people posted in their comments.....all great and thanks for sharing!

This is how my father gets 98% of his business. He uses his dog as a cartoon image as his main image and sooo many customers call him just because they have a dog or are dog lovers.
