Alphabet Inc. Takes Another Shot at Amazon With Home Control

Alphabet Inc.’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google Home connected speaker takes on Amazon.com, Inc.’s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Alexa on its home turf. But what about Google’s big advantage over Amazon in the smart home war — all those smartphones?

The Crucial Stages of Your Brand’s Logo Design

Apple is a brand and its logo is simple yet the story behind it is not. It takes a lot of effort and one has to go through a defined process to create a logo. It’s not just a graphic; it’s the pillar which holds the brand. You need recognition for your brand and that is the vital function of a logo. A great logo appears to be the lifeblood of a brand. For this important task you need to understand the principals and pitfalls of designing in creating a logo for your business.

 

Increase your Sales Turnover with a good logo design

A good salesman is one who is able to sell a comb to a bald man; a good marketer is one who promotes company’s products in such a way that the sales turnover hit skies!

 

Transformation of Famous Brand Logos
