			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-571" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px; border: black 1px solid;" title="Holly-Joffrion" src="http://www.krisknopp.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Holly-Joffrion-125x150.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="150" />Every business has one, that little graphic displayed on everything they produce. Although a logo may look just like a stylistic name, it can mean brand recognition to a company.</p>
<h4>Brand Recognition</h4>
<p>Many logos are designed on the cheap, with little thought given to them. Other companies like <a href="http://www.apple.com/" target="_blank">Macintosh</a>, <a href="http://www.xerox.com/" target="_blank">Xerox</a>, and Lucent spent upwards of half a million dollars each to develop their logos. Then countless millions more to promote them. What they got for their money are symbols that are recognized instantly, around the world. You don&#8217;t even need to see a name &#8211; the symbol is enough.</p>
<h4>A Polished Look for your Business Gets Customers</h4>
<p>A good logo helps a company have a clean, professional, polished look. The more clean, stylistic and original a logo is, the more chance there is that it will stand out from the competition and help get those extra sales.</p>
<h4>Don&#8217;t Try This at Home!</h4>
<p>Although it may seem simple, a logo is very hard to design. When you create a logo, you must take an entire company and everything it stands for and refine it down to a simple, graphic representation. It&#8217;s the ultimate design challenge.</p>
