Create a Logo for Your Brand

If you are just starting your own company, there are so many things you need to consider and keep an eye on, that it is quite normal that some aspects will have to be delegated to someone else. When it comes to logos, some people insist that they know best what their logo should be and what it should represent. Some others, however, realize that there are people whose job it is to create logos and who attended extensive studies on this topic. Even if you do delegate this job to a graphic designer, that doesn’t mean that you should have no input.

Burger King Are Ignoring My Serious Complaint

I promised myself that I would use my blog to rant about my experience at Burger King in Blackburn as a last resort.  Three weeks down the line I have come to the point where it's this option or take it to the local, or even national, press (cue *angry face expression whilst pointing at a Burger King wrapper* photo). I'm going to use this blog to publish the timeline of disaster from the initial experience through to the social media conversations, the lack contact from Burger King and the fact that they are now ignoring me, full stop.

Dead Or Alive? Are You Sure?

Photo Credit : Alex Iby / Unsplash Yesterday I ended up down a weird and wonderful rabbit hole from a click on Twitter that culminated in a visit to Mumsnet (don't judge me - it was lunch time and I was aimlessly wandering around the internet unsupervised). The thread I ended up reading was about celebrities who were absolute twats in real life. The thing is, I read a couple of names on there and had to really wrack my brains to remember if they were (now) dead or alive. Well, this opened a whole new tab of research on Wikipedia and IMDb with one celebrity very much alive and another still not confirmed*.  I shared my thoughts with my Facebook friends who, quite frankly, are as sick and twisted as I am and it appears that I'm not on my own with this type of bewilderment. *FYI: Bella Emberg (alive) and Mo from the Roly Polys (unsure) *UPDATE : Bella Emberg (dead - January 2018) Names popped up left, right and centre and many of them I had to double check. ...
