A new company logo???
Wow, designing a new logo for a company is a difficult process. I have discovered that what I like personally may not be what our potential customers can relate to. Plus the three of us who have been involved have different tastes. I guess it is somewhat subjective.

We hired a graphics designer to help us with our design and unfortunately we haven't yet arrived at the logo we like. We have a good direction for it but the creative alternatives we have seen are not making us very excited. Our graphics designer is very cooperative and helpful but something isn't quite clicking. Watch this space!

Wow, I can't believe Christmas is almost here yet again. The year has flown by but I do love Christmas. My eldest and his girlfriend put up all the Christmas lights and did a great job of it. Looks beautiful. I wonder how I can put some photos on here? We bought a tree and decorated it on Sunday and the kids did a great decorating job too. Nice to have such a bunch of talented decorators.

Still working to get the busines up and running. We found a graphics designer to do the logo and she should have some comps for us this week.

By the way, did I say the name of the company is "Market Accelerators"? Our purpose is to be sort of a "bolt-on" marketing department for smaller companies that don't have their own marketing expertise.

The website is www.marketaccelerators.com although it doesn't have any content yet -- but it will soon! There is also a blog which will be the main place I will put info about our experience with the process of starting-up a company in Washington state. The blog is http://marketaccelerators.blogspot.com/

We are expecting to formally launch in January but have had a couple of opportunities fallen in our lap so we are working on two proposals. We'd hoped to work primarily locally but these two potential clients are in other parts of the company! Still hard to walk away when some business is beckoning,
