Free Icon Set from CSS Creme

I love a great set of quality icons and the Sticky Pack from CSS Creme is definitely one of them. Download yours today to spruce up your website, use in an eBook, or whatever project you’re working on that could use a little extra “oomph” without spending hours of time creating your own.

And the Winner is…

Wow! We had a huge following for our Suckiest Logo Contest over the past week and a half. But as with everything else, the contest has come to an end and our contestants are patiently waiting to hear who the heck won.

We had two very clear front runners throughout the voting process, Virtual Business Services and Cristina Favreau, whose followers were relentless in casting their votes. They must have a lot of friends, family and associates to support them because our polling service shut the survey down several hours early due to a response cap…that was over 5,000 votes!

So without further adieu…

Congratulations to Cristina Favreau!

Cristina is the winner of our Suckiest Logo Contest. She’ll receive a 100% custom-designed Signature Logo from Signature Worx along with huge discounts off some of our other design and marketing services to help with rebranding her business.

Thanks to everyone who participated in our Suckiest Logo Contest!

Amazon Offers Sanity to Parents

As the holidays approach and we being to purchase all those cute little toys for our children, so begins the frustration as well. If you’re a parent, I know you know what I mean.

There you are sitting with your family around the Christmas tree on Christmas morning. You children begin to open their presents one by one…while you have an arsenal of hand tools within reach so you can spend the next 30 minutes disassembling the box, the hard plastic clamshell casings, plastic bindings and wire ties…just so your little one can actually begin playing with their new toy. In fact, after about the third one, you may even begin to experience wrap rage, a dangerous heightened level of anger, frustration and violence resulting from the inability to open hard-to-remove packaging according to Wikipedia. Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up people! I have personally experienced wrap rage over the past three years of my daughter’s life.

Enter Amazon and its amazing Frustration-Free Packaging efforts. This is seriously, in my opinion, the best thing since sliced bread. Not only is the frustration-free packaging recyclable, but it was designed to be opened without scissors, a knife, a box cutter, or even a jackhammer. And of course it won’t damage your product or, in some cases, won’t send you to the emergency room with cuts, bruises, sprains or other bodily injuries. Merry Christmas to all!

So kudos to Amazon for recognizing this parental problem and doing something that actually makes a difference. I for one would welcome frustration-free packaging into my home any day and hope to see more of this in the future.

Voting is NOW OPEN for the Suckiest Logo Contest

Now that the 2008 presidential election is over and America has chosen our next president-elect, it is now time to vote in the Signature Worx Suckiest Logo Contest. I know…probably not quite as exciting as watching Obama and McCain battle it out last week, but for one lucky contestant, your votes will not only completely transform their business image by receiving a brand new logo for free, but they won’t have to add to the national deficit in order to get it.

We have six worthy contestants competing for a coveted new logo from Signature Worx. Of course this requires audience participation so we need your help to determine the winner. Cast your votes between now and Wednesday, November 19th. You can vote as many times as you wish so be sure to check back to see how your top pick is doing.

Here’s a preview of our contestants’ logos, but you can read what they had to say on the voting page.

So what does the winner receive? The worst logo (as decided by our readers) will be ditched for a completely new, 100% custom-designed Signature Logo. Of course we realize that re-branding their business can get expensive, and they should be compensated for having been mocked by their peers. Therefore, the winner of the Suckiest Logo Contest will also receive their choice of the following:

a whopping 50% off business card, brochure, letterhead and envelope design services (printing costs are not included or discounted) OR
30% off a custom designed Signature WordPress Website

Voting ends November 19th so be sure to vote for your favorite suckiest logo by then!

UPDATE! Voting has ended. Results will be posted soon!
