Paperstreet Free Logo Tips

PaperStreet has complied some helpful logo tips.

In an effort to help out law firms with their logos, PaperStreet has compiled a list of Do’s and Don’ts:

Do

  • Make it Different:  Great logos stand out, so don’t be afraid to make it non-typical.
  • Keep it Simple. If too much is going on, the instant positive impression you are going for is lost in clutter.
  • Listen to your Graphic Designers.  If you hire a graphic designer to design your logo, then listen to their advice.
  • Adhere to Bar Rules.  Even the most stringent of bar rules allows for creativity, but don’t run afoul of their rules.
  • Decide what sort of image/impression you are trying to create before you select your logo.
  • Think About Colors.  Printing costs increase as more colors are used. 
  • Think Big, or rather small.  Think about how your logo will scale down and up, but mostly down, make sure all elements are visible when it is on a business card.
  • Have your design firm come up with guidelines for how your logo can be used.  Too many cooks in the kitchen kill a design, but too many lawyers changing the logo can kill the firm identity.  Make sure everyone uses the same font, sizing, and colors.

Don’t

  • Design Your Logo In-House.  Most likely your logo will be boring and well. . . boring.  You will not stand out, which is the whole point.
  • Let Lawyers Decide on the Logo.  Unless other lawyers are your customer, then you need to weigh opinions of non-lawyers when selecting a logo.  Always ask opinions of those who will be reacting to it.
  • Design by Committee. The expression "too many cooks in the kitchen" exists for a reason.
  • Procrastinate. All professional businesses have a logo. You should too.
  • Use rasterized images as logos unless all your materials will be designed by one company, but that company needs to have a vector image.
  • Destroy your logo after you get the file, don’t rotate, crop, flip or change anything.

HIV Education and Law Project, Inc. Selects PaperStreet for Site Redesign

The new web site’s goal is to create an easy to navigate and visually appealing experience that depicts the firm

About The HIV Education and Law Project, Inc.
http://www.helpinclaw.com
The HIV Education and Law Project, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization located on Miami Beach, Florida that was founded in 1994 to provide assistance and advocacy to South Florida’s low income and disenfranchised HIV positive community. Through the combined efforts of our full-time staff attorney, volunteer attorneys, corporate volunteers and law students, HELP has assisted nearly 400 individuals and families.

HELP has provided free legal service in matters of public benefits, discrimination, wills & trusts, the rights of the incarcerated and landlord/tenant disputes. The organizations success has been made possible by national grants, private donors and working relationships with related community-based organizations, and various in-kind donations. Throughout its history HELP has offered its services to the entire HIV-positive community.

To qualify for services, a person must be in financial despair, which is determined on a case by case basis employing flexible financial guidelines. The faces we see in our office are the changing faces of AIDS. The young mother of two, heterosexual teenagers, persons recently released from prison, and the boy next door. AIDS does not discriminate, yet our clients face multiple legal challenges due to illness, poverty, race and gender. HELP has sought to focus its services on Miami’s minority, and immigrant communities, which currently face the highest rate (almost 40%) of new infection and are among the least likely to have access to the financial resources necessary for successful litigation.

PaperStreet Web Design Launches New Website for Maria Colaco Dance

PaperStreet Web Design has designed a new web site for Maria Colaco Dance. The site attempts to create a visually appealing and easy to use interface.

About Maria Colaco Dance
http://www.mariacolaco.com

Artistic Director Maria Colaco formed MariaColaco:ingoodcompany in 2004 with the mission of making modern dance accessible to a larger and unconventional audience. The company strives to educate all audiences in Modern dance as well as future generation of dancers. Residencies at colleges and schools in addition to festival performances, help the company get their work and perspective out to the public.

Maria’s work is a culmination of her experiences whether they are cultural, professional or educational. Influenced by pedestrian gestures, break dancing, classic modern and theatre, MariaColaco’s work appeals to a wide audience. The work is often inclusive of text and theatrical elements. Fusing so many influences and experiences, Maria’s work ultimately benefits from a refusal to accept the established boundaries between sacred and secular, classical and pop, comedy and tragedy.

PaperStreet Web Design Launches New Website for Cross Lander

Cross Lander signed PaperStreet Web Design to develop a new web site and content management system that allows them to maintain the web site in-house.

The new web site of Cross Lander portrays the global image of an off-road sport recreation vehicle company. The web site has information about the company, its vehicles, and news & press. In addition, the web site contains a comprehensive dealer database. The entire web site can be updated by the company through an easy-to-use online administrative panel.

About Cross Lander
http://www.crosslander4×4.com
Cross Lander is the only world automotive manufacturer in the United States that is aggressively targeting the 4×4 off-road sport recreation vehicle (SRV) market. Cross Lander is headquartered in Miami, Florida, and has offices and a manufacturing plant in Campulung, Romania.
The Cross Lander 244X is the first model in a new line of affordable, rugged sports vehicles from Cross Lander. The 244X is also the first truly affordable, mid-size sport recreation vehicle (SRV), with rugged, off-road capabilities, fulfilling the needs and expectations of serious off-road enthusiasts. The 244X is a new breed of all-terrain vehicle not meant for everyone; a “no nonsense, no frills”, off-road sport vehicle.
The 244X is made with a full chassis, putting it in a class that includes only the most powerful off-road vehicles on the market. All other makes currently available in the United States are made with a unibody design, which is not nearly as strong because they are designed to be lightweight. True off-road consumers demand a full chassis.
The 244X is based on the Auto Romanian (ARO), a vehicle that possesses a solid track record for quality, performance and endurance. ARO (Auto Romania) is the national Romanian automotive company that has been manufacturing rugged off-road vehicles and light trucks for more than 50 years.

PaperStreet Launches No Drugs No Prison - Just Opportunity

As part of its pro bono project PaperStreet donated its time to develop a site for No Drugs No Prison - Just Opportunity

No Drugs No Prison - Just Opportunity
http://www.nodrugsnoprison.com

NDNPJO has just started with a new partnership with the Juvenile Justice Department, for our Teen Support group to have teens court ordered to our program and make the parents be held responsible for the actions of their children by participating in the program with their children.

  1. Teen Support Group: ages 12 - 18 years
  2. Teen Court Support
  3. Teen Anger Management
  4. Help with Job Placement

  10. Six months to two years and prison evaluation

This organization has serviced south St. Petersburg in our teen support after school program and is now servicing teens in our teen court support, working with Juvenile Justice and Juvenile court to also hold the parent responsible for their children actions by having them participate in the teen program. We are also in the adult court system to help rehabilitate inmates by referring them to treatment programs. We have just started our new prison evaluation program to find out why so many adults that go to prison from low-income areas are repeat offenders.
