Logo No No

By: Sandra Franklin Date: July 3, 2013 Categories: Blog

I’m a big “logo fan” and happen to be particularly fond of the Nike swoosh. (http://goodlogo.com/extended.info/nike-logo-2376)
It’s simple, timeless, recognizable, elegant and looks great on a pair of shoes!

When creating your logo, these are definitely some of the attributes you want your design to possess.   It sounds easy enough but a lot of businesses have logos that don’t meet these basic qualifications. Their logo is actually what we would call a “Logo No No!”   So, to make sure that you don’t go skipping down the “No No” path, here are a few tips.

  • Hire a graphic designer to create your logo.  Avoid using a friend or someone that doesn’t have adequate experience.  Remember that your logo represents you and your business.
  • Resist the urge to add too many elements in your logo.  Just keep it clean and simple.
  • Try not to use more than two typefaces.  This ensures that your design communicates a clear concise message and doesn’t look too cluttered.
  • Remember that your design should be just as effective in black and white as it is in color.

You and your logo will spend a lot of time together so let our team at Hill Street Media help you make it great!

:)

Our Passion

To say that Media Production and Marketing is our “thing” is quite the understatement. Actually our team has over 20 years in the arena. We entered into the fast paced field of news production and then made a home for ourselves in audio | video production, advertising and marketing. At Hill Street Media, putting your ideas in motion is what we’re passionate about.

Testimonials

We have used Hill Street Media on several different occasions for videos for our organization. They are always on time and true professionals! They are easy to work with and super reliable not to mention very reasonably priced. We would highly recommend Hill Street Media. — Michele Creamer, Director of Operations, Georgia Cattlemen’s Association
Hill Street Media has been a tremendous blessing to our church. They have provided professional services that have given our church the needed visibility and desired exposure to local, state, and national audiences. In addition, Hill Street Media’s efforts have resulted in wonderful dividends in terms of dollars and support. We are presently scheduling more work for Hill Street Media and highly recommend their services to those who desire, quality and value in media support. — Rev. Ronald Toney
Hill Street Media is the company that I would use again, and a company that I would recommend over and over. I was having a hard time just getting in contact with other companies to help me with a commercial. I was given Hill Street Media’s number and I was able to get in contact with them the same day. I had an deadline and they cared about the fact that I needed this done urgently. Hill Street Media team was professional, always on time easy to contact, nice, humble and trustworthy. My project was completed before the deadline thanks to them and most importantly I was very happy. — Dr. Cheryl Young
As the Pastor of the Covenant Church of Jesus Christ, I partnered with Hill Street Media to ensure the media and marketing needs of the ministry were met. Hill Street Media was responsible for the advertising, promotion and editing of our television ministry. The Hill Street Media team is organized, efficient, extremely creative and has an excellent rapport with people of all ages. Their communication skills, both written and verbal, are outstanding. In summary, it has truly been a pleasure working with Hill Street Media. They are a valuable asset for any organization. — Pastor Brandon Pitts, Covenant Church of Jesus Christ | Macon
I have used Hill Street Media for some time. The professionalism of Sandra Franklin and her staff has always been exceptional. At one time while at Saint Paul in Macon, GA she served as director of our Imani Broadcast Ministry. Her work was exemplary in every way. So upon following the leading of God to pastor Saint Mark in Orlando, FL there was no other person I felt comfortable to produce the broadcast than Hill Street Media. Every project is done timely and with an expert eye for details. She enables us to reach a wide array of people through the Gospel Message of Jesus the Christ. Her passion for enabling businesses to convey their message, lift their institution/business and highlight their messenger has always been her signature. I along with the entire Saint Mark community are extremely pleased with talent, skill and overall commitment to getting the work done. – Terence Gray, Senior Pastor, Saint Mark | Orlando
“I’ve had the opportunity to work with Hill Street Media on many projects, large and not so large.They have brought a level of friendly professionalism and determination into every job. That kind of attitude is reassuring to me and my clients– it’s also very contagious. It’s rare to work with someone who has real talent, produces great work AND is committed to the success of my project.” – Mark Strozier, The Brainstorm Lab
Hill Street Media completed work for the Beulahland Bible Church Media Ministry under my leadership as the Director. They are very skilled & knowledgeable at writing scripts for commercials, TV Shows & radio spots. Over the years Hill Street Media has proven that their work in producing, editing & writing is by far the best in the Middle Georgia area. My last project with PERSPECTIVES TV with host Dr. Rondrick Williamson, Hill Street Media researched, conducted interviews of guests and wrote complete show scripts for 24 SHOWS that were produced. They are very prompt & efficient with all of their projects. I highly recommend Hill Street Media services to meet all of your Media & PR needs. Sabrina – Johnathan’s Bridal
I saw the very professional ministry image that Hill Street Media had placed upon our sister church and I wanted our church image to have the same effect and appeal. Their professionalism and prompt service spoke volumes to me especially considering the distance I am from the company. The logo that was designed for us, has definitely placed a sacred signature upon our immediate environment. Hill Street is a ministry resource gift to the Body of Christ that is absolutely, positively, inextricably needed in the 21st century. – Pastor Charles R. Whitfield | First Baptist Church, Martinsville, VA
Hill Street Media provided Beulahland Bible Church with high quality video editing services. Their work played an important role in the high rating of our television broadcast. Hill Street Media demonstrated professionalism in everything that was asked. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is in need of their services. | Dr. Maurice Watson
