In order to maintain the highest levels of client service, we follow a limited-workflow business model. What this means to you is that simpleLOGOstudio accepts only ten clients at a time. By keeping our client-load LOW, each individual project can be given the proper attention that it deserves from our artists and project directors.

I organized, researched and obtained data via a nationwide pool of over 150 new entrepreneurs. The results of my surveys and personal interviews showed that more than 70% of them were "overwhelmed by the logo design process!" Many described a "mental overload" or "art fatigue" when reviewing website after website of logo designers, package prices, concepts, revisions....

Using the research dats as a blueprint, I formulated a breakthrough in the online logo design industry: the simpleDESIGN™ package. This comprehensive, ready-to-go tookit is perfect for any new business owner. MOST logo design projects are completed in 3-6 days

We know design, and we know our clientele inside and out -- which allows us to systematically identify a client's needs, and consistently deliver both quality and value.

Don't take our word for it -- read our testimonials to see what our clients say about us!!

FAQ - F.A.Q. - Frequently Asked Questions for http://www.simpleLOGOstudio.com - Vector LOGOS

2008-10-20T04:08:00.000-07:00

-

Q1: Why are you called simpleLOGOstudio? Do you specialize in designing logos that are simple, or that look simple?

A1: Actually, we named our company simpleLOGOstudio because we pride ourselves in keeping the design PROCESS completely simple. Too many other designers try to wow you with complicated bells, whistles and hoops to jump through. We don't bombard you with lists of bait-and-switch packages. For only $199 out the door, we get you set up with an arsenal of logo files that you'll be able to use ANYWHERE.

Q2: "Why the heck don't you offer more packages? I only want a logo, and don't want/need a business card. I don't know if I want to spent $199 -- so how much for just the logo?"

A2: The e-letterhead and double-sided business card are actually FREE add-ons to the logo design package. We think the "discount logo" trend has created a misleading price point perception, and the illusions that you can get more for less. But if you closely compare our $199 package to those that are offered elsewhere for half the price, you will begin to see the value in our work.

WE also believe in paying our team of AMERICAN artists a FAIR WAGE.

ALL of OUR ARTISTS have at least seven years of professional experience AND are CURRENTLY working for notable employers as designers.

The professional experience and knowledge that OUR artists bring to the table far outweighs the forty or fifty dollars that you might "save" by outsourcing to some offshore artist or one of those Bargain Basement Craigslist freelancers promising the world to you.

Q3: "Do you send me a business card design that I can use as a template for all of my employees?"

A3: Yes, the price of the simpleDESIGN does include a template file! Your simpleDESIGN package, however, includes layout for ONLY ONE (1) INDIVIDUAL'S business card. Additional associates/employees/individuals are billed at a rate of $15 per person.

Ex: You send us the information for ONE PERSON'S business card. We will submit four layout choices for your approval, and deliver one, upload-ready file for your favorite business card printer.

If you have Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop or CorelDraw you can lay out the business cards for the other four people in your office yourself FOR FREE. OR we can layout those four associate cards FOR you at a cost of $60 (4 associates x $15 each).

Group discount rates are available for orders of more than 8 people are also available.

Q4: What happens if we finish the business card project and I change my phone number?

A4: Each client gets ONE free update to their business card after closing thier project. After that the cost will be $25/per update.

Q5: "What about after we finish? If we want to do more things with our logo and want to hire simpleLOGOstudio.com -- is it going to cost us another 199 bucks?!"

A5: Not usually! Sometimes people want to make small variations of their logo or a simple design using their pre-existing logo for something like invitations or a web-banner. A design project like this may cost you only $40 or $50 out the door!

Q6: "Another designer did a concept for me, can you replicate it with changes?"

A6: We WILL NOT take concept images from other artists and replicate them, as this can/could constitute copyright infringement. This has happened numerous times to US, and the results are usually sticky and cumbersome.

Q7: "I'm really picky. What if I don't like the logo concepts? Do I still have to pay for it, or do I get a full refund?"

A7: We work closely with you as we develop six concepts based on your direction and set of preferences. If we are unable to translate your specific directions into a design that suits your tastes, you are not obligated to pay the final $99 balance on the project. Should you dislike all six concepts, we will create an additional four concepts before releasing obligation to the project.
Your $100 design deposit is used to pay the artist(s) for their time in the development of your logo -- because at the end of the day, my artists have to EAT in order to create and revise logos! Please note that we take all precautions to make sure that our clients are delivered exactly what they want! Our client satisfaction rating is at over 98%!!

Q8: "Are you a freelancer or are you a big company?"

A8: We're a tiny company that's making a big splash! We use a pretty cool "co-op-inspired" system at the simpleLOGOstudio: The Creative Director manages ten clients per week and assigns them to one of our associate artists. Our team of seven artists were hand-picked from a national pool of over 100 applicants.
The artists act as expediters with Frank D as the "master chef." Some artists are great illustrators, while others may specialize in religious/church themes, "green" companies or logos with a crisp "corporate" feel. The artists split weekly clientload in a seven day Monday-to-Monday cycle, along with the advertising costs.

The design industry can be completely cut-throat, and our team has a great advantage in that everyone simply keeps a positive attitude. It's simple: When the artists are happy, the clients are happy.

Q9: What is a "concept?"

A9: A concept is ONE logo design idea. If your simpleQUESTIONNAIRE™ informs us that you like "blocky fonts and bright colors" you will recieve FIVE different ideas featuring five different "blocky" fonts and five variations of bright colors. One will have a more conservative/corporate look. Another will be edgy. A third will be more abstract....and so on. These aren't five versions of the same logo -- five concepts are five individual ideas.

Q10: What is a revision?

A10: Changes to color themes, fonts, verbiage, size, or basic layout are considered a revisions. Once we have emailed you the five concepts, we will collaborate with you to identify the ones that you like best, as well as the changes that need to be made in order to attain your desired outcome. Your simpleDESIGN™ package includes FOUR revisions -- meaning that after you advise us what to change in the concepts, our artists will make four individual revisions per your specifications. Make sure to include ALL of your changes into ONE SINGLE EMAIL. Once a revision has been requested and confirmed by us, additional information submitted is held until the next revision round. Additional revisions beyond the four included are billed out at a rate of $25 per revision, per project.

Q11: "What happens if I want to change my logo completely halfway through the process? What if I decide that I want to go in a whole other direction?"

A11: To go "in a whole other direction" would logically involve creating a new set of concepts, as opposed to making a simple REVISION. This happens quite often, and we don't want to punish you for having a "light bulb moment" -- so a NEW set of THREE CONCEPTS can be purchased for just $75. This includes ONE REVISION, plus any revisions left over from the first set you let go.
Example scenario: We submit five concepts to you. You make revisions and then decide with your business partner that your original idea was all wrong. So, you just make a $75 "New Concepts" payment, and get three fresh NEW logo concepts to your NEW specs!
Once you get these concepts, ONE revision is included -- but you still have THREE left over from the simpleDESIGN™ package! FOUR REVISIONS TOTAL!

Q12: What's with that 24/7 phone number?

A12: Our Art Director is an insomniac and is generally awake far into the wee-hours of the night, working on logos and talking with night owls just like you! It has been reported that he takes around thirty phone calls per week between the hours of 2 am and 5 am!!

Q13: How do I get my logos? Do you mail them out to me?

A13: Once you have given us the thumbs-up on your final revision, we email you a ZIP folder containing three subfolders:

VECTOR FILES: AI, EPS, CDR, PDF
JPG FILES: Small - Large
PSD FILES: with TRANSPARENT BACKGROUND

Download this folder as you would any photo or attachment that someone would send you in an email. We recently LOST nearly 40 GIGS of logos after the an external hard drive crashed -- MAKE A BACKUP COPIES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'll LOVE us for reminding you, if and when the UNTHINKABLE happens.

What is a VECTOR LOGO? FrankD explains in detail what a VECTOR LOGO or VECTOR graphic really are.

2008-02-20T22:49:00.000-08:00

Many websites try to answer the question of "vector logos" with a whole bunch of jibberish, jargon and technical doublespeak.

I've written a very thorough article that explains the question CORRECTLY, and in layman's terms. Take a minute to read through it to get a deeper understanding of vector graphics. I even created this article with some visual aids to drive the point home using the ever trusty "YOUR VECTOR LOGO" graphic!

As you can see, YOUR VECTOR LOGO looks great on your computer monitor. It has a nice shine, and looks pretty clear at this size...right?

One might even find that when printed using a standard inkjet -- it looks OK-ish.

Many people make the incorrect assumption that since the image looks great on their computer screen, they can use that same exact file/image for things OTHER than the computer screen. This is a common misconception shared by 70%-85% of my clients, so if you fall into this group, don't feel bad!

The simple fact is that the larger you make a JPG, the more it loses resolution. VECTOR graphics never lose resolution!

If we were to scale YOUR VECTOR LOGO up to billboard size, and then stand an one inch away from it, the logo would look like the image to the left.

If you click on the graphic, you can get a better look at what it would looks like zoomed way in. Curves and corners are precise, with no loss in fidelity or sheen. Lines and edges have the kind of razor-sharp definition that generally moves people to describe the look of a vector logo as "clean."

NOW that you've witnessed the crispness of a vector graphic, take a look at this sorry version of YOUR VECTOR LOGO. If you were to take the web-ready JPG and enlarge it to tabloid size paper (11" x 17") it would look like the graphic shown here.

Examine the jagged formations around the letters closely. THIS could easily be YOUR COMPANY'S LOGO if you did not have a vector logo file !!

Even a high-resolution (300/350 dpi) JPG WILL pixelate when increased beyond it's original size.

A vector file is like a MAGIC FILE. Vector graphics can be used for nearly EVERY purpose imaginable in regards to having your logo printed.

If you want to have a vinyl-cut banner featuring your logo, the person creating the banner needs a vector file. Many T-shirt shops will request a vector logo. Billboards, business cards, signage, coffee mugs... could all be produced using the SAME EXACT VECTOR FILE

When you open this type of file in a vector graphics program (such as EPS, PDF, WMF, SVG or VML) , you can scale it up or down as much as you want and, as shown above NEVER LOSES RESOLUTION.

If you are serious about your brand, there is NO QUESTION that you NEED a VECTOR LOGO. Because of this, my personal/professional advice is this: even if you don't hire ME to create it: YOU SHOULD require a VECTOR LOGO from your designer.

In order to manipulate a vector logo, you will need to own a vector graphics program like CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator. We also provide raster (JPG) images that can be opened in PhotoShop or other photo-editing software.

And now, the nerdier, technical definition of the term vector graphic:

Digital images created through a sequence of commands or mathematical statements that place lines and shapes in a given two-dimensional or three-dimensional space. A vector is a representation of both a quantity and a direction at the same time. The file that results from a designer's work is created and saved as a sequence of vector statements (X/Y coordinates). Vector files are preferable in page layout, typography, logos, sharp-edged artistic illustrations (e.g. cartoons, clip art, complex geometric patterns), technical illustrations, diagramming and flowcharting.

"The creation of digital images through a sequence of commands or mathematical statements" simply means that your vector graphics software sees the shapes in your logo as coordinates, and not PIXELS.

If your logo were scaled UP to fit on the side of a work van, the coordinates adjust mathematically to the size of the van. The same file could alternately be mathematically scaled DOWN to fit onto a lapel pin with ZERO DISTORTION!!

simpleLOGOstudio.com founder Frank Delgado is well-known in various circles as "fRankD." He is an acclaimed international deejay, music programmer, documentarian, artist, traveler and above all -- entrepreneur.

By the age of nineteen, he was on the air at a highly-rated radio station in central California, writing for an independent arts/entertainment newspaper, and designing fliers for various college organizations.

The real adventures however, began in 1994. Moving started to occur every three or four years: to cities up and down his home state of California, and through the countries of China, Vietnam and Thailand. In each of these places, he was able to serendipitously find employment in design studios, with marketing agencies, and other jobs that required both an artistic skillset and high professional expectations.

University transcripts during this time period read like a hodgepodge patchwork of (changed) majors that would ultimately serve as the perfect foundation: Business Management, Marketing, Public Relations, Graphic Design, Entrepreneurship and ultimately Digital Media Production.

After completing several Entreprenurship courses at California State University, Fresno, fRankD quit his job, sold nearly all of his possessions, and relocated to Bangkok, Thailand to work for an English-language radio station. During his stay, he created sabaiLOGOS with a small Stateside client list -- the model for what would become later simpleLOGOstudio.com.

He returned to California, enrolled in the ETP-II (Advanced Entrepreneurship Training Program) at the nationally acclaimed Central Valley Business Incubator. By the end of the program, he was able to cohesively combine over ten years of professional design experience with a newfound infatuation for entrepreneurship.

After completing the ETP-II class, a strategic business plan was drafted, and a team of freelance designers from across the U.S. was assembled.

simpleLOGOstudio.com now holds an impressive share of the online logo market and works as a silent partner alongside several notable public relations agencies in Chicago, Phoenix, Atlanta, and Austin.

We have worked for several high-profile clients, some notable bands (including a Bruce Springsteen project and alt-rock pioneers Toad The Wet Sprocket) and literally THOUSANDS of home-grown upstart companies.

In 2009 fRankD took a trip to research international logo design, and visited entrepreneurs in Berlin, Barcelona, Amsterdam, and Venice. Look for an upcoming feature on this website highlighting the conversations and firsthand interaction with logos and designers from the European Union!

Unlimited Logo Revisions Scam Alert -- Beware of Logo Designers who offer UNLIMITED REVISIONS!!!

2007-01-24T17:42:00.000-08:00

At first glance, "UNLIMITED REVISIONS" sounds like a pretty attractive deal. The REALITY of "unlimited revisions," however, is not all that it's cracked up to be.

It's like going to an extremely-cheap restaurant that promises "100% satisfaction." You order your food, and the kitchen begins to send plate after plate of undercooked, overcooked, and half-warm food. After a while, you get so hungry that it doesn't even MATTER what the food tastes like -- you just eat it.

Maybe you don't lose a whole lot of money, but you do lose your most valuable non-renewable resource: time. 

Designers will offer unlimited revisions is because it gives them a "free pass." Should they submit four, five, ten, or twenty logos that are completely off-base -- they have an UNLIMITED number of attempts to get it right!!

__________________________________________

Why doesn't simpleLOGOstudio offer "unlimited revisions??"

By using a simple yet comprehensive pre-production process, we enter each project with a clear vision of what our clients want and expect in their new logo.

 Many of these self-taught logo salesmen will simply ask you about what colors you like, or what fonts you prefer via online webforms.  Unless you're a typography or color theory expert, these questions will hardly scratch the surface of what a client's brand persona, market stance, and projected image are truly all about. 

We ask the right questions before we start sketching up possible logo designs -- and we know WHICH questions to ask!!

Furthermore, we limit our weekly client-load to ten clients so that we are able to offer you personalized service.  Each client is individually contacted before we start production on your logo so that you might have a chance to explain any of the subtle details about your business which truly make it unique.  We get to the heart of your business model so that we are not simply designing meaningless shapes or using inappropriate color palettes.

Take a look at our simpleQUESTIONNAIRE to view some of the information initially requested from our clients.  Using your completed questionnaire and interview as our roadmap, we are often able to have a pretty good idea as to what you want without the tedious revision-after-revision-after-revision process.

71% of our clients complete their logo projects after TWO revisions.
13% of our clients complete their logo projects after THREE revisions. 

But even if you choose to use all four of the revisions included in your package -- or more -- we take great care of you the whole way through. 

Need further verification of my statements?

Google-search one of the many online forums or websites targeted at professional logo designers.  If you read carefully through these forums, and you will discover that an experienced, professional designer will NEVER offer unlimited revisions.

EVER.

Pandora.com - simpleLOGOstudio channels

2003-12-07T01:41:00.000-08:00

If you have yet to discover the World's Most Perfect FREE Internet Radio Station -- Pandora.com let us take a second to provide an introduction and overwhelming praise.

The concept is simple: you create your own radio stations by creating a list of artists that you enjoy. Enter the names of artists or song titles, and Pandora will use its musical logirhythms to create a playlist of songs that have an auditory connection to that list. As you continue to listen to these stations, you can "thumbs up" or thumbs down" the songs that play -- which further focus the scope of your perfect radio station.

Here at the simpleLOGOstudio, Pandora is a necessity.

Now, you can listen to the tunes that WE listen to as we design logos for our clients. Create your free account, and then click on the names of any of the stations in the sidebar to listen. Our stations vary from reggae to meditative to classical...give em a listen!!
