So as I had mentioned I wanted to revamp the site so I decided to go with logoworks.com as my logo designer. I tried to usea freelancer but they were busy and it was taking to long. So I went with the bigger company. The Steps and process of getting a new logo is really easy. They ask you some question. show you some images so you can give them an idea of what you like…then as promised 3 days later I got 4 samples to pick from. which with one of their neat features I sent to friends to place a vote on which ones they liked. Then after I selected 1 I made more comments of what I liked and disliked. so now we await on the another round of samples…they cliam the 25^th…they have met the deadline sofar so lets see how good they are…..I’ll keep you guys posted

I renewed my subscription today for one of my favorite magazines Fast Company and added in INC. as well. IF you are like me and want to always stay informed of new online and up and coming companies I find magazines. I personally recommend you check these 2 out. I don’t even remember  how I got the original subscription but I can say I have been a true fan of fast company for years now… what I really like about the magazine is that it has storied about small upcoming startups and sometimes you find your self reading about something that gets big months later.

I have also found it to be a great way to come across neat n services that I don’t tend to see in other magazines. So my hats off to the fast company folks…since I have been getting the magazine for years I get a great deal to renewl but I would suggest you check out  one of the following magazine wholesalers to get yours.
