Think it would made the world of difference to your brand.

I feel like I've done as much as I can with and having the most pedestrian of html knowledge it's just not enough. I look at all the other SM pages and get rather depressed knowing that I'm stuck in the dark ages in the overall design of the page. I would love to have a site that grabs people in and allows me to show my work in the manner it deserves. I really love the studioky design and the Galt Design, I would kill to have something in between these two! I’ve been dying to have my smugmug page designed professionally.

I am in the process of starting a small business and deciding on a logo is HARD!!!!! (By the Way, didn't know Jessica Claire changed hers). Jodi-I honestly wondered why someone as creative as you had such a simple-straight forward logo. Not that there is anything wrong with it (quoting Seinfield here), but it doesn't seem to match your style. GO FOR IT!!! Do it!!!! CHANGE IT--it's yours to change. Who knows..........it may sky rocket you to the moon. (Wow-its late and I've been up waaaay to long). So-----What would you change it to (hypothetically speaking)?????????????????? AND------------Whose logo or logos do you admire the most?????????????? Wow-this article is perfect timing. I am in the process of starting a small business and deciding on a logo is HARD!!!!!

I would like your insight on pre-made custom logos. How serious are the copyright or branding issues with this? I've also seen people get custom logos that the vendor has later added to their collection as a pre-made. With these concerns, I've done my own watermark in Photoshop, still contemplating a logo though. Hi Jodi- great advice!
