Cijaye,
re: Vegas.
Business or pleasure? Take some pics for us. Or remember, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas :).
I've been there about 4 times already. Stayed in Mandalay Bay, MGM Grand, Aladin Hotel, and some others that I can't remember.
Peter,
Thanks, I learn from the best.
[Super]Dave,
Would love to explain how I got this identity.
As you know, Sachi Studio is about "Marrying" both fields of the World Wide Web- "web design" and "strategic blogging solutions". It's a convergence b/w the two.
Originally, I thought a Venn Diagram would be a perfect symbol for this concept of marriage or convergence.
I had my designer try this, but it didn't look right. So then we went with the rings locking up with each other. I had her play around with it and we got it just right. Hence, one ring represents websites and the other ring represents the other area of the web- weblogs. The interlocking in the middle represents the convergence or union of the two. Yes, I know, very deep stuff.
So that's how I got the idea for the rings.
What does sachi mean? In Japanese, it means "happiness". I used UrbanDictionary.com to find the word I wanted and I liked Sachi. Not to mention, the url wasn't taken.
Website is almost complete.
So translated, my company name means, "Happy Studio" or a place of happiness. Or just happy. It's a good mantra to have in life anyway.
I was at a networking event yesterday and was handing out my newly designed cards. People said, "Oh, Sachi. As in Saatchi & Saatchi- the global advertising/branding powerhouse?"
I said, "Um...well, kinda, but not really." Both company names are obviously spelled differently, but it's nice to be in the same company as they are.
So there you go- the history of Sachi Studio and how it was born :)
And if I may, I'd like to give a brief plug to the logo/graphic designer who did
the logo and stationary work for me. She is on Ryze. Her name is Caroline
Tremblay and she runs Magentis Media- a graphic and logo design company. She
also does collateral as well. Here is her portfolio
of work.
And like Cijaye, she is also Canadian- must be
something in the Kool Aid :)
If anyone needs a good logo identity and
the stationary, I would recommend going to Caroline. I did some shopping around
before settling on Caroline, but I can tell you that her rates are very
affordable. I won't say what her exact prices are on this board because I do not
wish to pigeonhole her, but if you need logo design and stationary work, talk to
her and see if there is a fit. But she is very busy as well.
