Oof, this mindset 🙈😬

It has taken a LOT of reflection, realization, and overbearing thoughts for me to finally come to this realization…. And once I realized it, I have become a totally different person and business owner.

I no longer fear the thoughts of others, because the truth is: those who make fun, are the ones who haven’t experienced success yet.

And, who cares about them? Who cares what they think?

Not me! (Anymore 🤷🏼‍♀️)

I am not “successful” yet but I know through hard work and determination I will be before I know it - and I can only become successful by staying focused and not worrying about others.

If you’re struggling with worrying about other peoples thoughts - remember this next time: Successful people will NEVER laugh at you. ♥️

Introducing one of my latest client projects: MC Electrical & Construction 🚧

This client not only needed a new brand identity, they needed a brand that encapsulated all of their new services they were going to begin offering. The logo developed includes subtle elements that represent each of the services (the bottom line = concrete; the custom I & U = plumbing; the lightning bolt replacing the I = electric; the house = general construction)

I’m obsessed with the added textures and the full customization of the wordmark. 😍

Thank you to MC Electrical & Construction for trusting me to bring your new brand to life ♥️

Instagram has all of the stages (because YT only allows 5 photos…. Lol) Instagram here: www.instagram.com/emilywilson.graphicdesign/

The amount of excitement I get when I get just one like/share/comment/follow is unreal 🤣🤣 but seriously, this is awkward as all get out 🥴🥴

Posting something that I spent hours making only for it to get 4 likes….

Recording a reel where I’m making a fool out of myself and trying to get past my fears of what people will say about me…..

Gaining 1 follower and feeling like I’m finally doing it!

Losing 1 follower and thinking about giving up…..

I went into this business telling myself that I would not let fear get the best of me. I was not going to care what other people said or thought - I was just going to do it. And I am not going to quit.

And let me just say: this is one of the BEST things I have ever done for myself. My confidence has skyrocketed 🚀

I am discovering who I truly am and I’m getting to have fun doing it.

And best of all: I get to make money while doing something I truly enjoy.

I don’t see enough people talking about this - probably because it’s not very common to see small businesses when they’re just starting out - we tend to only see the large creators/businesses who already have surpassed this awkward stage….

So - if you’re in this stage too.. stick with it, and don’t give up! It will pay off someday….

Well, I hope 🤣♥️

Let’s talk Logo variations, and why every business needs them ⬇️

Put simply: a logo variation is a stem from your primary logo. Every brand needs to have more than just one logo, because the truth is: sometimes you have an application where your one logo just doesn’t work. Enter: your other options ✨

Every brand should have at least 3-4 different logos:
Primary
Secondary
Icon
Submark

The primary logo will be used the most often, but depending on its orientation (stacked/vertical, for example) you may sometimes need the opposite orientation (horizontal, for example).

The primary and secondary logo usually include any extra elements such as a business tagline.

When there’s a tagline - the need for a submark becomes essential because sometimes a layout doesn’t have enough room for a tagline and your naming, so you can only have one. The submark gives the best of both worlds in this instance!

An icon is typically exclusively used for a website favicon, but it can often be used in other areas as well as a supporting graphic in corners of social media posts, stationary footers, etc.

Does your business have logo variations? Have you found yourself needing a different size/version of your logo because what you have just is not working?

Let’s work together! DM or email me to enquire more!

New Brand Identity alert 🚨 ⬇️

Let’s Fly a Kite: a Kids centered restaurant that also offers a relaxed adult atmosphere.

The new logo and corresponding pattern create a kid-friendly aesthetic while remaining premium to attract the adult market as well.

Spring Time = Spring Cleaning Time. But, spring cleaning doesn’t have to just be for your house! Here’s how you can “Spring Clean” your business:

01: Update your Website. Something like updating your copyright to the current year (2023) is often overlooked. If you haven’t made the change yet - now is a great time!

02: Get your bookkeeping in check! Organize your records and make sure everything is up-to-date.

03: Level up your social media. Now is a great time to set social media strategy plan, and create a content calendar. It’s also a great time to evaluate the aesthetic of your socials. Is your page aesthetically pleasing to visitors? It is branded to your business?

04: Is it time for a rebrand? Now is a great time to consider the effectiveness of your current brand identity, and determine if it might be time to do a rebrand with a professional designer.

05: Update your contracts and any other legal documents. Boorrrriiiiinnnggggg I know, but it’s so important. Make sure you have no outdated information in your contract, and check for any terms that might need revised.

(PS - if you need help with any branding or graphic design, I can help with that!!! 😊😉)
