I re-designed my logo. Mostly because every time I looked at my old one I thought to myself, “Self, that is not the best design. And you should probably re-do it.” So I just took the plunge, and I’m glad I did. Along with doing that I ended up re-designing my blog, added the new logo to my website, and re-did the graphics on my Facebook page (which included adding some hand lettering, because I just love it and can’t bring myself to not have it!). I’m always hesitant to make any big changes such as re-doing my logo or website, because it is such a big thing to do, and something that shouldn’t be happening very often. But sometimes you reach that new plateau and all your branding has to come up with you to that new place! It’s a good transition to make when it really is the right time.

Do you like the new designs? And designers, how do you determine when it’s time to make some major changes in your own branding?

“Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them.” – Thomas Jefferson
