How a Logo is More than a Company Trademark
By: Steven Boaze, CEO, Boaze Publishing and Boaze.com
Logos are seen all over the world and on many different things.
if we were to count how many times we see them everyday, the
number would be in the hundreds. simple advertisements for
example like Coca-Cola is being looked at over 200 times.

capability is above the rest. these are great for banners used on web
sites. however, a JPG file type is the most popular and the most widely
used. they present full texture and rich in color. with a JPG your logo
can be any size and still have the quality look to it even when it is
in print format.
Have you ever heard of this phrase?
A FIRST IMPRESSION IS A LASTING ONE
Well, a logo does just that. it sends an important message across
