I think it may be an addiction, but I choose to just call it staying hip with the times. I have this habit of changing names and logos. While I have had good reasons for the name changes, I can’t say the same about the logos. The only thing I can say is that they never felt right. Now, I could have just stuck with what I had, but I just couldn’t. So I did what I should have done a long time ago, hired a professional designer. So in came Mariah from Mariah DeMarco Designs. I really can’t say enough about Mariah, she took the vague ideas I had for the logo and completely realized a design that I didn’t even know I wanted. Not only is she an immensly talented artist, she is about the sweetest person I have ever come in contact with. Ever. Not only did I get a logo that I am completely and utterly in love with, I had the best experience that I could have imagined with the design process. Big thanks and much love to you, Mariah!
As far as the new website goes, I could have simply plugged in the new logo my existing site, but this wasn’t really an option. There were two problems. One, I hated having a separate website and blog. The second problem was that both sites were ugly as sin. So putting my killer new logo on my old site would be like putting lipstick on a pig. A complete overhaul was due. Many, many late nights ensued until this site was done. My knowledge of CSS coding is a little lacking, like non-existant, so I had to learn to build a website from scratch. I found out the reason it costs a lot of money for a custom website is because it is really freakin’ hard to do. After many hours toiling over this site, I am content. I love the site, I love my logo. They feel right.
