Branding

The Arrow
Henny Youngman, the comedian, had this whole signature to his act around ‘Take my wife. Please.’ What the PR folks wanted to do was the equivalent of changing his shtick to ‘Please, take my wife.’ If you have to call attention to your punch line, to explain it, it’s no longer a punch line. It doesn’t work, it isn’t funny, and no one will remember it.”
- Lindon Leader, Creator of FedEx LogoExcerpted from Matthew May’s book The Laws of Subtraction
Appearing online in Fast Company Co.Design October 23, 2012

• The site must put forth the most professional and complete digital identity that is pitch-perfect with your real world identity.
• The site must be responsive to render across multiple devices and platforms (computers, tablets, phones).
• The site must incorporate a prominent call to action.• Don’t think when it’s up that it’s done.

QR Code Best Practices
• QR codes used in advertising are going to be checked on a smartphone or tablet.
• QR codes need to be simple; short web addresses are the best web addresses; use a link shortener.
• Think of the screen real estate of the device it will be shown on.
• More importantly, if you’re advertising a product or service, direct the viewer to the campaign for that product or service.
