miLogos in 2009

For those of you who are interested, here is an update on miLogos, as well as some of its goals for next year.

Two-thousand eight turned out to be a milestone for miLogos. The first year, and a whole list of things were accomplished. The miLogos team, trademarked as the miTeam, grew tremendously. A friend of mine, Josh Carrol joined the team as Sales Executive in June, as well as Krystal Kappeler joining at about the same time to be the Senior Graphic Artist. The Sales Executive position turned out to be a stressful and very difficult position for a new business, and Josh resigned later this past year. James Rogers was added to the team as a Design Consultant and an Editor. Ryan Barney was added in the beginning of December as an Intern to help in the Arts Department. Rachel Brinks was added to the team just a couple days ago as a photographer, and there are more to come in the days to come.

Our first client came before the registration process with the city had even been completed. Several other clients came to miLogos to use our services, and miLogos was able to get out its name to the city of Fort Collins. That being said, there is always room for growth, and that is why I see a lot ahead of us in 2009.

First of all, miLogos is going to extend its community service by doing the Romeo and Juliet poster for the Poudre High School production, as well as marketing the show. Krystal Kappeler is working on the art that will be featured in the poster, and Rachel will most likely be doing the photography that will be featured in the poster. I am really looking forward to this production, as well as designing the poster. It will be fun marketing to both a Hispanic population as well as the white population.

Another huge undertaking of miLogos is Spiritual Design, a new product that really is still in the brainstorming stage. This product is going to feature simple services like Bulletin Design, Logo Design, and Worship Backgrounds at a discounted cost to non-profit organizations. This will be a great opportunity for miLogos to reach out to a different market, and will hopefully help expand miLogos' capabilities. That being said, in order for this to work properly, there will need to be a couple more additions to the miTeam.

On top of these two huge projects, miLogos is also going to have a new logo design, and a new streamline design to go along with it. At 12:01am, January 20, 2009, miLogos will unveil its new logo design. The website (www.miLogos.com) will be drastically changed to accommodate the new design, the new look. miLogos is a graphic design company, and needs to show its diversity. So although it is important to keep the same image for a company, the actual logo may need to change due to different markets that we are reaching out to, and different missions that the company chooses to take on. This is why I feel it is important that we adopt this new logo on January 20, but at the same time, I am not going to throw away the old logo design. Ryan Barney is largely responsible for this design, and I commend him for his creativity. Without me even telling him the mission of miLogos, he was able to encompass that mission in his logo design. I look forward to this event.

If you would like to be part of the miTeam, would like to know more information about miLogos, or would like to comment or make a suggestion, feel free to reply to this post or email mbeall@milogos.com.

Happy New Year!
