After a couple of years with the same look, I’ve decided to move forward and have my logo and business card redesigned.  I set up a contest at Sitepoint to open this to as many designers as possible.  I admit that I got the idea of holding a contest from Sahar - Thanks! 

Although I like the current style/concept of my logo, I am looking for something more fresh that uses less black for better space.  I like the skyline, but don’t need the actual buildings (an outline of a skyline would probably suffice).  I would also like a more modern looking font for the name of the company.  I’ve given comments to the designers who have submitted their work so far, so you can get an idea of what I am asking.  

Down the road in the next few weeks, I can also see myself redesigning my entire Top Notch Domains website, and perhaps this logo and business card design contest will help me find someone for that project.

So check out my contest and show me your skills!

Beat the mobs on ‘Cyber Monday’

According to the article and a study from the National Retail Federation, nearly 75% of online retailers will offer special promotions on “Cyber Monday,” which falls on the Monday after Thanksgiving (tomorrow). Up until last year, I had never heard about Cyber Monday, but apparently this is one of the biggest online shopping days of the year.

CyberMonday.com, a website powered by Shop.org and owned by the National Retail Federation, offers links to many retailers who have “Cyber Monday” deals.  

CNN.com offers some good online shopping tips to help save money and ensure a safe shopping experience.  As with all shopping, people should use their best discretion, and they should use common sense when making purchases online.
