Life's too short to play it safe

    A star. Literally. 🙂

    Familiar with Guillebeau, imagine that…

    I'll be back. Have you thought of any options?

    So I read your post, went on to The Ultimate Guide to Creating Your Logo, from where I jumped over to Adobe Kuler and got mesmerized by all the color schemes, and now, hours later 😉 I am back here. Really, we bloggers need more hours in the day!

    About your question: I'm seeing your logo as a stylized figure joyously jumping off a cliff — symbolic of being gutsy and taking risks. Maybe too complicated, but a good designer out to know how to do it without making it too wild.

    Now you've got me thinking. Maybe I should have a logo with a foot in it . . .

    Hi Sonia, it depends if you're running with Gutsy Writer of going with Sonia Marsh.

    I have a great graphic designer and I spent a lot of time briefing her on what I wanted my logo to encapusluate – fun, excitement but also professional and sound advice.

    Happy to share her with you:)

    I love the old style logos like Chris's but I wanted something modern, fresh and hip too. Lol. I asked for a lot but I got it. Definitely worth the investment. A strong logo and branding will give you and your business instant allure, professionalism and confidence.

    @Antares
    Is the star your logo? I see orange and lights. I met Chris in LA and plan on attending his world domination summit in Portland this June.

    @Miss Footloose
    Love your idea, especially as I used to have a business called "Trim and Tone" for personal training with a stylized figure, but she wasn't jumping off a cliff. Maybe I could have her dangling on a bungee cord, or perhaps that should be you with a loose foot and one attached to a Dutch clog. Now we're going crazy! Let's keep our thinking hats on.

    Oh great Sonia, now you've got me worrying about the logo for my new blog. I had been obsessing about everything but that… until now.

    But as for yours… it depends on what you're trying to do. Are you staying on the memoir path? If so, what you have is beautiful and conveys part of the journey. Maybe a collage of flags?

    That's all I've got right now because I'll be up all night thinking about mine now…:0

    For now, but everything is subject to change 😉

    What can I say? I like light and warmth and life.

    I've marked this post to check out all the links when I have the time. Have a tendency to get lost in art.

    If I had a logo, I think it would be a picture of me.

    Come to think of it, that's exactly what I have.

    But what do dogs know about anything, especially art?

    Last year a friend made me a logo – a glittering and slightly off-beat Lady Fi sign with the same glasses used by Dame Edna…

    @Annabel
    Great advice. Now you've got all of us thinking about our the importance of logos for a more professional look and feel.
    @Barbara
    I hope you were able to sleep and not worry about a logo. I agree though, it depends on what the purpose of your blog is for. It sounds like you want to share your positives and negatives with others and help. Why not have a 60, with an arrow moving upwards through the 0 or a rocket with a flame going upwards through the 0. Just a thought.

    @Antares
    Yes, I can see planets and stars as you're keen on science and physics.
    @Miss Sadie
    You have a logo already as you said. How can we miss Miss SAdie.
    @ladyfi
    I must say I did not see it on your blog. Where is it?

    Hello there,

    Thanks really for basing this post on my thoughts 🙂

    Anyway, about your question, I think from hearing the name GutsyWriter, your logo should convey something strong (from the word Gutsy). I'd prefer a Bold font if I where you, some strong colors too.

    Maybe you can play around more with typography… writers doesn't necessarily need a symbol so don't work yourself up thinking with that 🙂

    For inspiration, head over to this link http://designm.ag/resources/headline-fonts/ and you can see lots of big, bold and heavy fonts.

    Hope that helps you!

    I checked out the logo, and thoght it was well done. Perhaps a little "flashy" but so is Dame Edna.
    @Phivos
    Good observation. Thanks.
