The New Face of Diaries Of A Blogger

written by Anthony Dinh

As promised in my previous post, today I will be unveiling the long-awaited new logo that will represent the Diaries Of A Blogger brand from this day forth.

Drum roll please…..dun,dun,dun,dun…..TADA!

diaries of a blogger logo unveil

OK, so what’s up with the baby theme you might ask?  If you notice, my tagline is “A Newbie’s Journey to Making Money Online”, so the baby is representative of me, a “newbie” in this blogging game.  My hopes are that hopefully, once you start seeing this logo around enough, it will be engrained in your minds and become synonymous with the Diaries Of A Blogger brand. 

There were some comments saying that it’s not necessary to have a custom header logo to build branding, that there are plenty of bloggers who still make it big without one, and that it’s all about the content and how the author brands him or herself.  I would have to say that I totally agree with these statements because branding strategy encompasses other aspects of a blog such as the domain name, the tagline, etc., and the logo is just one of them.  However, having a logo that people can immediately associate with your brand is quite powerful as well.  Think about all the logos you see around you on a daily basis (Nike’s swoosh, McDonald’s golden arches, NFL team logos, etc.).  You can look at those logos and immediately associate them with their brand without any words needed, and this was my intention here, to achieve brand recognition through my logo.

If like the look and feel of my logo, and would like one of your own, I recommend enlisting the services of the talented Randy Ariestoteles of FreshMeatDesign.com.  To get a better idea of what kind of work they do, check out their impressive portfolio of logos, banners, caricatures and mascots.  Not only will you get quality work at a reasonable price, but the artists are very responsive and the turnarounds are quick as well.
