You don’t need a professional to get a good logo, but if you’re designing it yourself, you need to be aware of common logo design errors that can keep you from a great result. Whether you’re starting from scratch or updating a design you already have, remember these tips when designing business logos. 1. Too Detailed A critical error people make when designing logos is trying to include everything in there. This might involve super detailed art or including your slogan and establishment year along with an image.

A cluttered logo can also be difficult to read, especially when you have to make it small for a website or a business card. 2. Too Abstract In...

Learning to drive is one of the most rewarding skills you can learn - not to mention one of the most useful. It helps you command control over your own life, because you won’t be beholden on bus and train times or have to rely on the goodwill of friends and family for lifts.  It is especially useful if you are planning on having a family, because it will ensure you are both flexible and have the ability to make emergency journeys without delay.

The Multigeographic Photographer Sesse Lind confesses, “It’s quite funny that apart from an aesthetic standpoint, I don’t really watch or follow any sport. It’s just not my thing.
