The Story
Bloggers wants a unique blog design and logo because it gives your site a sense of identity unparalleled by others in the blogosphere. Along with your writing style, a logo helps to set your blog apart.
For me, having a new logo is refreshing, among other neat feelings.
Knowing this, I decided to randomly ask on Twitter if anyone is interested in making a few bucks by making a simple blog logo for “Simply Blog.” Ye yes, the power of Cheese Twitter.
A guy named Dave responds via Twitter. He’s interested and will throw something together. We connected via email. I asked him how much he wanted for the logo design- no charge! Learn more about Dave.
Will this happen for everyone? No, people need to make a living but it never hurts to ask.
We say it’s more professional (true, but there’s more). It becomes apart of your site’s identity. A logo helps to leave a lasting impression of visitors. The benefits of blog logos, I’m sure, are countless.
So What?
Twitter is a powerful tool (you all know this), my story is simply another example of how people use Twitter to connect, market and so on. Once in a while, you’ll find people that are willing to give.
Remember, giving must be a two way street, if you only request and ask for handouts- people won’t follow or listen.

Since having your own blog logo, how has it improved your site or made you feel? What fortunes or surprises has either your site or blogging experienced because of Twitter?

Great deed that you are doing for the bloggers like me who have no design skills. Cheers for the effort on this.

P.S Mig looks like you have gotten yourself a great friend in return for participating in Twitter. =)

Hi Wei
You’re right bro- I continue to be amazed by Twitter, especially when we’re able to connect with other folks that share our interests.
Dave
Yes, appreciate your work. Anytime bro, keep up the excellent work. Also, I love the presentation about online tools needed by would be entrepreneurs.

The logo is simple but effective. A logo designer gave me a lot of crap when I was offering free logo design, because he thought I wasn’t a designer. I am happy to know that there are other people like me.

Hi Franklin
That’s pretty much what I said. Yeah, there are plenty of folks in the blogosphere that are willing to give within reason. Notice how Yaro and other high profile bloggers hand out freebies which are valuable resources, but at the same time they increase their chances of selling more later because people find their tools useful and want to learn from them via various trainings and so on.
Thanks for visiting Franklin, keep up the good work with a humble attitude or as they say, “with a servants heart.” What other kinds of services have you provided for free? Thanks in advance for sharing.
-Mig
That looks great! I am not on twitter yet but I have heard that I should be. This looks like one more reason. Happy New Year!
Hi Heidi,
Thanks, speaking of looking great- congrats on your reaching your fitness goals and so on. You site appears to be doing well! These must be exciting times for you and your blog.
Hey, oh yeah… Twitter can be useful for tons of obvious reasons but it can also serve as a distraction, so like with all things, in moderation.
Happy New Year! All the best to you in 09!
-Mig
I love your new logo Miguel. Simple but very effective.

Hi Shirley
Yeah, it’s amazing, the connections and resources Twitter can bring to your doorstep. People must be willing to give but at times, folks should never be afraid to ask for help, feedback or insight. We’re all here to learn and help one another.
Thanks for dropping by Shirley!

Thanks, yeah, that’s what I wanted in a logo for “Simply Blog,” nothing complicated. Thanks for visiting and sharing.

I actually gotten a JV invitation from another blogger through Twitter. It has to do with some niches that I totally have no familiarity with but I am only in charge of marketing. I got to say that Twitter opens up a lot of opportunity that we have been missing.

how about it, congrats bro… again, Twitter is an extremely valuable resource to say the least. The opportunities and potential are limitless.
Thanks for visiting and sharing. Lastly, just thought of a neat idea for a Twitter post.
Record all the happenings and results of being on Twitter only to write a post about it at the end of the month or year which will continue to demonstrate the usefulness of Twitter.
I have heard so much about how powerful a tool Twitter can be, but so far I haven’t found this to be true. Perhaps I don’t have enough followers, perhaps I haven’t hit the right formula that will get it to work for me. I won’t give up though, only quitters give up. There is one thing though, I dislike the useless tweets, like people saying they are having a cup of coffee, or what program they are watching. I reckon I will have to unfollow them if they keep it up.
Congratulations on it working for you.

I understand, that was also the case for me but like you I didn’t quit- I kept plugging away! Yeah, sometimes I guess I’m guilty of that but for the most part my aim is to keep tweets helpful for my followers and readers.
You might also see how other twitter users are creatively coming up with ways to get noticed and so on. Thanks for visiting and sharing!

Miguel, I am actually following some of the big boys, and without mentioning any names, I find some of their tweets absolutely useless. As far as I am concerned it’s just like static on a poorly tuned radio. Not learning much from them, that’s for sure.
Sire’s last blog post..Sire’s ‘Ice Breaker’ Pick Up Line
Sire
You know, I’m not surprised… some of these so called experts or big boys are fluff. Yeah, another thing, I’m sure their busy but I don’t like when they only interact with each other and it seems like everyone else is on the outside. But, I should add, Darren from problogger has replied to me on one then more occasion.
Darren isn’t one of those that I am following, but some that are expect people to follow their links because of who they are but they never reciprocate by following or responding to any of yours. Sure I am small fry compared to the but I have feelings too you know

This logo is great. Very minimalistic and simple
and about Twitter, I think that is a powerfull source of information, like blogs, news sites and others.
Thanks to Twitter I have had some discussions with bloggers and that is why I write about some interesting topics in my blog… but the others sources are important too!
