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!

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:

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!

The Suckiest Logo Contest is Open

Does your logo suck?

We won’t point fingers-you know who you are. When you started your business, you decided to cut corners in what you thought were the less important areas of your start up. Maybe you created your own logo in Microsoft Word, bought a canned logo template, or downloaded a freebie. Now that you’ve been in business for a while, you cringe when you see your less-than-professional logo staring back at you from your website, letterhead and business cards. You’re green with logo envy when you see your competitors’ designs.

Having a crude-looking logo is like showing up at an important networking event with no shoes on. You may be wearing a snazzy suit and be sporting an irresistible personality, but who is going to take you seriously? Like it or not, when people see your brand for the first time, they are judging you. If they don’t like what they see, they may never take the opportunity to find out how great your product or service is.

Signature Worx has a mission: to make the business world more attractive, one brand at a time. In celebration of the launch of our new websites and services, we are holding an exciting contest.

This is big, people! We are going to give someone a brand new professionally designed logo-for free.

All you have to do is submit your current, crappy logo. Once all submissions have been received, we will post them to our blog where our readers will snicker and vote on which one they think is the worst logo in the world. Well, that might be an exaggeration, but it is our readers that will decide which logo is the most deserving of being made over.

The worst logo (as decided by our readers) will be ditched for a completely new, 100% custom-designed Signature Logo. But there’s more. We realize that re-branding your business can get expensive. Even if you get your fancy new logo for free, you’ll need new business cards, stationery, maybe a new brochure, and possibly a better website to match your spanking new brand. Plus, you should be compensated for having been mocked by your peers after submitting your ugly logo. Therefore, the winner of the Suckiest Logo Contest will also receive their choice of the following:

Any business owner with an exceptionally bad logo can enter. The deadline for submissions is October 29. So if you have friends, colleagues or clients who need a brand boost, then be sure to send them here to submit their sucky logo. To submit your own embarrassing logo, visit http://signatureworx.logocontest.sgizmo.com to post your entry before October 29th.

What needs to be included in your submission?

What items are deemed as acceptable?

If you aren’t brave enough to submit your own logo, or if you (or that friend) might be in the market for some other design solutions we offer, visit our new websites, Signature Worx Designs and Signature Worx Marketing. We have a ton of packages you may be interested in. And don’t forget to sign up for our Signature Specials newsletter. Who knows what we’ll think up next!

The Suckiest Logo Contest

Having an identity crisis? Did you get a do-it-yourself logo that just doesn’t do it? Are you totally embarrassed by your current logo? Hate to pass out your business cards at a marketing event or give prospective clients your web address because it looks like a 4 year old made it? Or maybe you don’t even have a logo yet and all your business marketing materials are a miss mash of various…dare we say the word…templates.

If your logo sucks, then listen up! If you’re looking for a fresh new business start, then stay tuned to Signature Worx because we’re having a contest…The Suckiest Logo Contest to be exact!

Be sure to stay tuned to In The Worx for all the details coming October 20th! Don’t forget to tell your friends, colleagues or clients who need a brand boost, too!

Get More Clients in 28 Days

There are three things that I believe that we should never skimp on as business owners. One – our business identity and branding like our logo and overall brand. Two – quality printed marketing items such as business cards, stationery, and brochures. And three is business coaching in whatever form you need it.

Let’s face it. Unless you are a marketing genius or you come into business with a boat load of clients, many solo entrepreneurs and small business owners struggle with marketing. In fact many don’t even have a marketing plan at all!

So what’s a business owner to do? Well you could try to muddle through creating a marketing plan all by yourself and hope to implement your efforts in reaching your goals. But if you’re smart, then you seek out someone who can get you motivated and get you there in record time without cutting any corners.

If you’re struggling to attract more clients, then you must keep reading! My good friend and marketing coach, Cristina Favreau, is offering her Get Clients Now!™ one-on-one coaching program at a $200 discount until October 31st. So what makes Cristina special? Well first, she is a licensed coach for the acclaimed Get Clients Now!™ program. Second, I know from experience how great she really is because I’ve been through her one-on-one program and it is worth every penny and then some. Not only did she tailor the program to my specific needs, but she did it with such motivation that it was impossible for me not to feel the same way while increasing my client base.

If you hate marketing your business, feel uncomfortable about marketing, or just can’t seem to keep your plan going, then Cristina is your answer. Not only will she motivate you, but she’ll help you create a customized marketing plan that works because it is tailored to you and your business. Where else can you get 28 days of personalized coaching?

Read all about Cristina’s program in more detail and sign up by clicking here. And take it from someone who has been through the program…you won’t be disappointed!

The Future Has Finally Arrived!

Ten weeks ago I announced the Future of Signature Worx with some pretty exciting news to come mid-August. Well I’m a little bit embarrassed that it is now October 2nd, a full month and a half past my original launch date, but I had a little something come up that required…no, make that demanded…my attention and has kept me going at a snail’s pace for the past 8 weeks or so. You see, my husband and I found out in early August that we are expecting a new addition to our family. So this post officially announces the coming soon arrival of our second child. We are thrilled and feel so blessed!

So what does this have to do with me being so late with launching our new websites and services? Well my new little peanut has been causing quite the havoc on my body over the last ten weeks that hasn’t allowed much relief for me. So in the grand scheme of things, taking care of myself and my family is pretty much all I could muster while letting my trusted team take care of as much as possible on the business end of things.

Now back to the topic at hand! If you’re reading this post on our blog site, then you’ve already got a little sneak peak at our new overall design. Our biggest change is separating our services into three different sites. This allows our visitors to view our offerings within the same category of services. So let’s get started!

Over the next week or so, we’ll be announcing some of our newest service offerings, but feel free to take a gander in the meantime. I’m very proud of our new launch, the direction we’re going, and knowing that I have a stellar team that helps make it happen!

Till next week!
