Your logo needs to be unique and representative of the business you do or the service you offer. The color scheme and the graphic of the logo shows your business approach and industry you belong to – all at a quick glance. The font of the text on the logo is also very important – it can easily convey whether you are in a serious profession or in the entertainment business. The graphics and font for a lawyer firm will be entirely different to those of a sea-side resort.

Logo design geeks have a unique aspect to their design process – they employ multiple designers to create the concepts and the initial draft of your logo design. This way you get ideas with differing though processes. Once you select the idea you want to move forward with, you can request unlimited number of revisions to tailor the message, color and the graphic. Since they do not outsource their work to freelancers or other agencies, you can be sure of the delivery times they promise – the designs are delivered in time, every time.

The fact that I love the most is their approach of using only standard pantone colors. Also, they deliver both the web version as well as the print version of your logo as compared to several other agencies which charge extra for the print version. This allows you to use your logo on the print media without any hassles.

What if you do not like any concept from the set offered? You can request another set or you can get 100% money refunded. This makes dealing with them completely risk-free. Excited? Check out their vast portfolio or order your own logo – check out Logo Design Geek!

We aim to make the schooling experience safe, secure, purposeful and fun. The holistic education at GEMS Akademia creates the right resources for both study and leisure.

To bridge this gap, Anand Education Trust has joined hands with a leading international group to bring world class facilities for imparting education in a strict but fun way. Celebrations, competitions, excursions, field trips and events forms an important part of the school calendar. A plethora of cultural festivals from across the world are celebrated with zest and bring together the entire GEMS Akademia family (students, parents, teachers, and staff).

Head over to the school website and checkout all the details so that you can get a clear picture of the atmosphere your kid will grow in, when he/she will join GEMS Akademia.

They offer trips to 17 locations in Austria, Italy and France, each hand-picked for suitability for school students. This includes Europe’s largest skiing region (825km), the Austrian Amadé.

An important part of planning these trips is the extensive documentation requirements and they manage this area keeping in mind that parents and teachers are busy people.

But what is a QR code, you may ask.

QR code stands for Quick Response code and is like a 2 dimensional barcode. It carries the information that you encode and a special scanner software (generally called a QRcode scanner) can read it. It then interpretes the type of code and prompts you to take appropriate action. So, if you scan a URL, you are prompted to open it in a browser. If you scan a telephone number, you are prompted to dial the number. And likewise.

Now that you have created your QR code, what can you do with it?

It is very simple, use the traditional forms of mass communication.

• Paste it on your T-Shirt.
• Print it on your business letters.
• Print it on mouse pad and distribute.
• Paste it on a business flyer.
• Insert it as an ad in the newspaper.
• Insert it on your blog site / website.
• Put it up as a signboard / billboard.
• Put it up as an ad in the shop window.
• Paste / print it on your product &/or packaging.
• Put it up on a big ad balloon for everyone to see.
• Advertise on the sides of public transport on the road.
• Advertise on your commercial business truck or bus.
• Basically, you can paint the whole town with your QR code if possible.
• Last but not the least – Print it on your business card first.

So, with so much that you can do with your QR code, where do you begin? Generate your own qrcodes here.

Let me tell you, I was really hooked to the simplicity of this software. It installed in 3 minutes including the time to enter the details of the database in the config file. This part looks very much like WordPress and the system requirements are similar too.

Once I was in, I could add a new task for me to do myself. Ok, but what about the team collaboration? I have to add a new contact for that. It’s a breeze again. Interesting. I went ahead and assigned a task for my team member. Where did it go? Oh I see. It is there on the delegated tab. Neat!

What’s this label thing? I think this is a tag. Let me add a few tags to my task. I added 2 tags on the job and they show up fine. Cool so far.

I added 3 more tasks, one to be done next month. Cool, A1tasks allows me to add tasks with future start dates also.

Let me check this filter thing. Wow, so I can filter on so many criteria and see only limited number of tasks. This is handy, I can really focus on these few things that show up.

Sorting on different columns. Check.

Mark tasks complete by simple tick. Check.

Unmark complete. Check.

Looking good.

I sorely miss a mention of the project concept. However I think we can easily manage that through the tags or the labels.

So what is the conclusion? This software is best for small teams and individuals. If you are managing a team of less than 50 workers or family and assigning them jobs, you can easily organize your things with A1Tasks. If you are managing a team of 100s or 1000s employees with 100s of projects, you might like to skip this for the time being.

There are 2 ways you can benefit from the .co domain names:

1. You can buy the .co name for your business if you already own the .com to protect the brand. You don’t want someone breathing down your neck with a deceptively similar name.
2. You can buy the .co name if you did not get .com name when you started off. You can also keep watching for the .com name so that you can grab it if the owner forgets to renew it or decides to sell it off.

Also you can reserve the .co name for your main keywords (better hurry as the keyword rich names are disappearing fast). It is an open secret that Google gives a lot of priority to sites with keywords in the domain name when ranking the sites.

We have put up a few .co names for sale here. Check out if any of these interest you. You can get them cheap if you make a good offer. Naturally they will become more expensive after they have aged a little.
