<h3><a href="http://milleverba.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/torture.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-501" title="torture" src="http://milleverba.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/torture.jpg" alt="" width="250" height="186" /></a>Quand votre logo sera sous torture, êtes-vous certain de ce qu&#8217;il révèlera comme information?</h3>
<p>Un logo est l&#8217;essence même de l&#8217;entreprise et se doit de respecter les valeurs de cette dernière même en sa plus faible représentation. Il est intéressant de voir que malgré l&#8217;importance de cet outil de communication graphique, le logo est celui qui se fait le plus maltraiter.</p>
<p>Peut importent les politiques que vous instaurez afin de respecter les normes graphiques de votre entreprise, votre logo finira toujours par se faire maltraiter. C&#8217;est tout simplement une réalité avec laquelle votre agence de communication graphique doit user de beaucoup de diligence.</p>
<p>Votre logo se doit d&#8217;être déclinable, c’est-à-dire qu’il se doit d’être en mesure de communiquer le même message dans sa plus simple expression. Dans les pires circonstances, nous devons être capables de distinguer votre logo et la mission de votre entreprise.</p>
<blockquote><p>L&#8217;art ne veut pas la <em>représentation</em> d&#8217;une belle chose mais  la belle <em>représentation</em> d&#8217;une chose.</p>
<p>Emmanuel Kant</p></blockquote>
<p>Attention, ici je ne suis pas entrain de vous dire de ne pas instaurer des politiques d&#8217;utilisation, bien au contraire. Je crois que vous devez le faire. Par contre, étant réaliste je tiens à ce que vous soyez prêts à l&#8217;éventuelle mauvaise utilisation de votre logo. Croyez-en mon expérience, cela se fera souvent et plus votre entreprise est grande, plus votre logo sera torturé. Triste, mais vrai.</p>
<p>Pour vous aider j’ai donc décidé de vous donner un de nos trucs. Il est simple, mais très efficace!</p>
<p>Afin de vérifier la déclinaison et la composition de votre logo dans un mauvais état, faxez-vous le. Une fois faxé, votre logo devrait toujours représenter l&#8217;image de votre entreprise.</p>
<p>Voici donc une expérience que nous avons faite avec 2 logos. Le premier, le logo du <a title='Original Link: http://www.fm93.com/'  href="http://milleverba.com/?NQ2Pf8PA" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">FM 93</span></a>, une station de radio de Québec qui vient de refaire sont image corporative et, par conséquent, son logo. Le deuxième, un logo pour la Fringale représentant un service de traiteur pour des pique-niques et boîtes à lunch.</p>
<h2>Les originaux</h2>
<div id="attachment_467" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 206px"><a title="FM 93" title='Original Link: http://www.fm93.com/'  href="http://milleverba.com/?NQ2Pf8PA" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-467" title="logofm93" src="http://milleverba.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/logofm93.png" alt="" width="196" height="158" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">FM 93 original</p></div>
<p>Voici donc les deux originaux. Notez bien les différences dans leur composition respective. Le logo du FM 93 comporte beaucoup d&#8217;effets en 3 dimensions, des ombrages, des dégradés, etc.</p>
<p>Tandis que l&#8217;autre, conçu par <a title='Original Link: mailto:info@milleverba.com'  href="http://milleverba.com/?UzruNSGp" target="_blank">Mille Verba</a>, est tout à fait l&#8217;opposé. Le seul effet présent se trouve à être les deux couleurs utilisées.</p>
<div id="attachment_468" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a title="La Fringale" title='Original Link: http://www.fringale.qc.ca'  href="http://milleverba.com/?k9a5KZ8F" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-468" title="logopicnic" src="http://milleverba.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/logopicnic-300x61.png" alt="" width="300" height="61" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">La Fringale originale</p></div>
<h2>Les victimes</h2>
<div id="attachment_469" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 207px"><a title="FM 93" title='Original Link: http://www.fm93.com/'  href="http://milleverba.com/?NQ2Pf8PA" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-469" title="logofm93photocopy" src="http://milleverba.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/logofm93photocopy.gif" alt="" width="197" height="158" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">FM 93 faxé</p></div>
<p>Vous avez donc sous vos yeux, les deux victimes de torture par fax. Je crois que le résultat se passe de commentaires. Voyez comme l&#8217;image de marque demeure protégée et sensiblement en bon état pour la Fringale contrairement au <a title="FM 93" title='Original Link: http://www.fm93.com/'  href="http://milleverba.com/?NQ2Pf8PA" target="_blank">FM 93</a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_466" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a title="La Fringale" title='Original Link: http://www.fringale.qc.ca'  href="http://milleverba.com/?k9a5KZ8F" target="_blank"><img class="size-medium wp-image-466" title="fringalepicnicphotocopy" src="http://milleverba.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/fringalepicnicphotocopy-300x56.gif" alt="" width="300" height="56" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">La Fringale faxée</p></div>
<p>Nous aurions pu faire le même test avec tous les grands logos de ce monde tel que <a title='Original Link: http://www.fedex.com'  href="http://milleverba.com/?L5aGDgZx" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Fedex</span></a>, <a title='Original Link: http://www.pepsi.com'  href="http://milleverba.com/?kSfl28NR" target="_blank">PEPSI</a>, <a title='Original Link: http://www.coke.com'  href="http://milleverba.com/?vpa6W4OA" target="_blank">Coco-Cola</a> par exemple. La résultante aurait été similaire à celle de la <a title='Original Link: http://www.fringale.qc.ca'  href="http://milleverba.com/?k9a5KZ8F" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Fringale</span></a>.</p>
<h2>C&#8217;est aussi économique</h2>
<p>Mis à part le fait que votre image de marque soit complètement détruite, utiliser un logo qui se décline mal est également très dispendieux. Vous aurez toujours besoin de plusieurs logos pour vos différentes utilisations car celui que vous avez ne fonctionne pas pour le fax ou pour les envoies électroniques, ou pour ci ou pour cela.</p>
<p>Vous et votre entreprise feront donc face à plus de temps de design, de gestion, de contrôle des politiques graphiques. N’oubliez pas aussi que plusieurs logos veut aussi dire que vous diluerez la reconnaissance de votre image de marque.</p>
<p>Un jour, alors que vous voudrez une enseigne lumineuse pour votre building, vous allez vite réaliser que cette simple enseigne lumineuse est très dispendieuse puisqu’elle comporte différentes textures visuelles.</p>
<p>Donc simple est la clef. Ne vous laissez pas charmer par des représentations 3d avec des ombrages et tout le tralala,  cela vous nuira à court, moyen et long terme.</p>

<p>Minimalism is beautiful. It truly is. The best part about minimalism in  web design is that it comes in many styles, colors and sizes, but they  always have the same goal in mind – saying the most while saying the  least.</p>

<p>Web design is a field that, while saturated, is very likely to keep  expanding in the years to come. More businesses are moving online, more  major companies and brands are embracing the internet as a business  tool, and far more individuals are adapting their one-person businesses  to incorporate the internet into their strategy.</p>

<p>If I told you that there are twenty different ways you can streamline  your web design business, make <em>more </em>money and work <em>less</em>,  would you believe me? What if I showed you – would you believe me then?  In this article, you will find twenty different ways you can streamline  your web business. Some of which will cover work aspects while others  will cover administrative tasks, but all in all, the end goal is the  same:  <strong>making more money </strong>and<strong> working less</strong>.</p>

<p>Creative Blocks are quite common in the industry that we work in  especially amongst very busy designers. I can say that it is truly one  of the most depressing feelings you can experience as a designer. The  usual reason for obtaining such a evil thing is when a designer starts  comparing his/her work against someone better than him/her. There are  multiple reasons that a creative block can occur, but that is solely the  main cause.</p>

<p>In any business, existing customers are always more profitable than new  ones. The same is true for freelancers. If you want to pump up your  income, you’ll find it easier to get more business from your existing  clients first, rather than looking for new clients. So, you should  constantly be working to turn existing clients into repeat clients.</p>

<p>Logos are seen everywhere. Every  business or company has a logo, even if its just a font or a dot. It’s  still their logo that you know them by. I came across some awesome logos  that I found inspiring on <a onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/http://behance.net');" title='Original Link: http://behance.net/'  href="http://milleverba.com/?BCy5nqZc">Behance</a> and thought I would share it with our readers so they can be inspired  to.</p>

<p>Brand is an important part of any business. So why do some of us claim  we brand businesses, when we fall so short on it’s definition and limit  ourselves at logo design? There are many factors that affect a brand and  these factors can contribute to a unique and long-lasting brand. We  often overlook the real meaning of brand and we need to understand it to  fully comprehend the field.</p>

<p>The 2010 Winter Olympic Games will begin today on February 12th in  Vancouver, Canada. I thought it would be interesting to see how the  design trends in Olympic posters have changed during the years.<br />
In this article you will find <strong>every official poster from the  winter Olympic games from 1924 to 2010</strong>.</p>

<p>It’s  natural, it happens to the best of us. And it is certainly nothing to  be ashamed of. We see a <a title="design" title='Original Link: http://pelfusion.com/category/design/'  href="http://milleverba.com/?95pubME_">design</a> that not only  makes us stop in our tracks, but it makes us feel the creeping reach of  that green eyed monster, envy. Though jealousy of this nature can have a  hugely positive impact on your creative drive if you manage the monster  correctly.</p>

<p>The corporate world has been blessed with numerous logo   designs that have given birth to some of the most famous corporate  brands. We  have always praised and admired the logo designs of famous  corporate logos, but  we have never paid much attention to the creators  behind such magnificent logo  designs. Who were the logo designers that  led to the success of famous corporate  brands?</p>

<p>We were quite surprised when found out that not all airports have  control towers. Nevertheless, these great architecture facilities are  worth being admired. There are few interesting facts about airport  towers – full control tower structures usually have windows that circle  the entire top floor, giving all round vision. The windows are usually  tiled outwards at 15 degrees, because otherwise the controllers would  see the reflection of their equipment. The ceiling may also be painted  black. So, as you can see these functional requirements are pretty much  the serious limitations in terms of design.</p>

<p>We are back with our fourth interview in our interview series, where we  will be conducting personal interviews on fellow designers and  developers!  We have been getting some great interest, and we are so  excited about the upcoming interviews we have scheduled for the next few  weeks.  This week was great honor and we were thrilled to be able to  interview Jacob Gube from the iconic design blog, <a title='Original Link: http://sixrevisions.com/'  href="http://milleverba.com/?dy9Fo0yq">Six Revisions</a>.  This intelligent,  creative, matter-of-fact guy is so laid back and was great to interview,  and remember that he is not only a designer, but he is a developer,  blogger, and book author.  In addition, he runs one of the top ten  design blogs out there, <a title='Original Link: http://sixrevisions.com/'  href="http://milleverba.com/?dy9Fo0yq">Six Revisions</a>,  which is on the Smashing Network, and he has written numerous guest  posts for Smashing Magazine, and other great design blogs.  Sit back and  enjoy! And, remember, please email me if you are interested in being  interviewed, or if you would like to nominate someone to be interviewed!</p>

<p>The now-familiar release cycle of Adobe’s Creative Suite is signalled  by two things: the hype and expectation of  those who rely on Adobe’s  applications and prices that, especially for UK users, seem to soar  further into the stratosphere with every new version.</p>
<p>A single new feature, though, has awed the <em>PC Pro </em>office and  suddenly made CS5 seem like fantastic value for money. It’s been dubbed  the Content-Aware Fill, and has been shown off in a YouTube video  narrated by Bryan O’Neil-Hughes, a product manager on the Photoshop  team.</p>
<p>If you want to download YouTube and convert them to another extension <a title='Original Link: http://programs.alm7ben.com/youtube-downloader/'  href="http://milleverba.com/?s0OSEum2">youtube downloader</a></p>
<p>The dull, businesslike name hides a potentially revolutionary  feature: if you’re not happy with an item in your picture, select it,  delete it, and Photoshop will analyse the surrounding area and plug the  gap as if it never existed.</p>

Artists took pictures of real animals and  filled them with images of gears, wires, and electronic gizmos. The  results look pretty amazing.

<p>The haters say iPad lacks multitasking, a webcam, Flash  support, a USB port, massive storage, a removable battery, CD and DVD  support, RAM upgradability, multiple OS support and other features.</p>
<p>The  lovers are less clear about why they want one. So allow me to propose  the same list as above. It works just as well. The iPad is desirable for  what it doesn&#8217;t do &#8212; can&#8217;t do &#8212; as much as for what it can do.</p>

<p>In a blink of the eye, a lot can happen. A lot of astonishing things  happen in a split of a second, but they are moving too quickly for us to  see. <strong>High speed photography is the art of photographing a  rapidly occurring event.</strong> Depending on the event to be  photographed, methods range from use of ultra-short time flash exposures  to producing lots of exposures in a split-second. Seemingly frozen in  time, a lot of photographers have their own special method doing high  speed photography. The usual photographic flash component offers a flash  that lasts around a thousandth of a second (a millisecond). But  photographic flash component used in high speed photography is so much  quicker than this, and it creates a flash of light around a microsecond  (a millionth of a second). This let you to freeze time through pictures  that are happening tremendously fast.</p>

<blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">J&#8217;ai besoin de cartes de Noël, combien ça coûte?</h3>
</blockquote>
<p>C&#8217;est la saison ! Et pour nous, c&#8217;est la saison depuis un bon moment ! Alors que les couleurs orange, noir et mauve se déposent au sol, c&#8217;est le rouge et le vert qui s&#8217;envolent et volent la vedette sur nos petits écrans. Affiches, couriels, cartes postales, brochures et autres pullulent pour la période  des fêtes.</p>
<p><img src="file:///Volumes/PUBLIC/Nos%20Documents/Nouvelle%20Structure/Marketing%20et%20Communications/Xmas%20Cards%202.png" alt="" /><a href="http://milleverba.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Xmas-Cards-2.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-499" title="Xmas Cards 2" src="http://milleverba.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Xmas-Cards-2-300x231.png" alt="" width="300" height="231" /></a>Pour ce faire, plusieurs d&#8217;entre nous, clients et graphistes, décident d&#8217;opter pour la solution rapide. Il peuvent donc, en un très court laps de temps, produire les maquettes nécessaires pour les fêtes de façon relativement générique. Dans la plupart  des cas, on offre même des solution clés en mains ou on ne fait qu&#8217;apposer le logo et un texte proposé par le client. Cette solution répond rapidement au besoin du client, le tout à un prix tout à fait abordable.</p>
<p>Par contre, certaines entreprises, comme <strong>Mille Verba</strong>, décident de voir cette situation sous un tout autre angle. En fait, en abordant la question des coûts pour les cartes de Noël, nous vous répondrons immédiatement:</p>
<blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">Combien de ventes voulez-vous générer?</h3>
</blockquote>
<p>La raison est très simple. La carte de Noël est un medium de communication et marketing très puissant; il malheureusement sous estimé. Dans près de la totalité des cas, une carte de Noël est envoyé à nos fournisseurs et clients afin de gagner des points de sympathie auprès d&#8217;eux. Les cartes sont envoyées dans le but précis de tenter un rapprochement humain entre une entreprise et ses clients ou fournisseurs.</p>
<p>Très rarement, cet effort prend en considération les principes cruciaux de la communication graphique, donc, par le fait même, réduisent considérablement le potentiel de génération de revenus par l&#8217;envoi de cartes de Noël.</p>
<ol>
<li>Message transmit par l&#8217;aspect graphique.</li>
<li>Conséquence du médium sur l&#8217;image de marque.</li>
<li>Environnement physique et socio-culturel du médium.</li>
</ol>
<h3>Message transmit par l&#8217;aspect graphique</h3>
<p>Si on veut générer des ventes avec nos cartes de Noël, on se doit de comprendre et d&#8217;analyser ce concept. Une erreure à ce niveau peut réduire à zéro tous nos efforts.</p>
<p>Un simple exemple pourrait d&#8217;envoyer des symboles de Noël chrétiens quand un bonne portion de notre clientèle est juive. Aussitôt, vous serait condidéré comme une entreprise qui ne prends pas la peine de bien comprendre sa clientèle.</p>
<p>Par ailleur, l&#8217;analyse est plus complexe que ça. On se doit de bien déterminé le message que vous voulez transmettre à votre clientèle. Quels sont les base de référence culturels de cette dernière et comment pouvons nous adapter notre médium pour avoir le plus grand impact possible.</p>
<h3>Conséquence du médium sur l&#8217;image de marque</h3>
<p>Vous avez achetez des cartes chez Costco ? Dites vous que vous êtes loin d&#8217;être la seule entreprise à l&#8217;avoir fait. Pensons un instant à l&#8217;effet que ce geste a sur votre image de marque. Rapidement, et généralement inconsciemment, votre client pensera que vous ne vous êtes pas donné la peine pour lui, alors qu&#8217;il vous permet de faire vivre votre entreprise. C&#8217;est un peu le même sentiment que losque nous n&#8217;avons pas nos sacs réutilisables et qu&#8217;on nous charge 0.05$ du sac en plastique à l&#8217;épicerie quand nous avons une facture de 200.00$.</p>
<p>Tout à une conséquence sur votre image de marque. La qualité du papier, le graphisme, la qualité d&#8217;impression, si vous vous êtes donné la peine d&#8217;écrire un mot à la main ou non, etc.</p>
<p>En fait, ma suggestion, si vous ne voulez pas dépenser pour vos cartes de Noël, serait d&#8217;acheter des cartes qui supporte un organisme de charité et d&#8217;écrire un mot personnel à l&#8217;intérieur. Vous n&#8217;aurez pas un impact majeur, mais du moins votre image de marque en sortira un peu bonifiée.</p>
<h3>Environnement physique et socio-culturel du médium</h3>
<p>Voici la clé du succès pour une campagne de cartes de Noël. Il s&#8217;agit de bien comprendre l&#8217;environnement physique ainsi que social où la carte sera affichée.</p>
<p>Contrairement à plusieurs perceptions, je pense que la carte de Noël peut aller chercher un plus large auditoire que la simple personne à laquelle cette dernière est destinée. Pour ce faire, il faut bien comprendre la nature humaine et l&#8217;environnement du médium.</p>
<p>Un ami et collaborateur à moi, <a title="Écriture virale" title='Original Link: http://ecriturevirale.com'  href="http://milleverba.com/?oFGqKppw" target="_blank">Pierre Fraser</a>, a largement contribué au développement du principe de l&#8217;<a title="Egocasting" title='Original Link: http://www.ecriturevirale.com/flux/egocasting-qu-est-ce-que-c-est'  href="http://milleverba.com/?iAk79FFv" target="_blank">egocasting</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>« [...] glorifier sa propre personne en s&#8217;exposant publiquement [...] sachant à l&#8217;avance que peu de gens nous écouteront&#8230; »</p></blockquote>
<p>J&#8217;ajouterai, « avec le désir/espoir constant qu&#8217;une foule de gens nous écoutera&#8230;. »</p>
<p>Remettons en contexte l&#8217;egocasting avec les cartes de Noël. Pour ce faire je vous propose un exercice très simple.</p>
<p><strong>Première partie: </strong></p>
<p>À partir d&#8217;aujourd&#8217;hui, jusqu&#8217;à Noël, à chaque fois que vous avez une réunion à l&#8217;extérieur ou que vous visitez un bureau, prennez quelques instant pour voir si des cartes de Noël sont affichées .</p>
<p>La réponse est oui dans la quasi totalité des cas. La nature humaine est ainsi faite que l&#8217;egocasting fait parti de nos gènes.</p>
<p>L&#8217;un des plus beaux exemples de ceci est la plateforme Twitter. Selon moi, Twitter doit une grande partie de son succès au mot « follower » (adepte ou admirateur). En procédant ainsi, Twitter touche donc une corde sensible de la nature humaine où la popularité et l&#8217;egocasting sont très importants.</p>
<p>Donc, la carte de Noël que vous expédiez à votre fournisseur ou client est probablement l&#8217;une des seules publicités qu&#8217;il affichera fièrement dans son bureau. Pourquoi ne pas en tirer avantage ? Vous avez entre les mains le pouvoir de publier non seulement à votre client direct, mais également à tous ceux et celles qui passeront dans son bureau. Votre propre « billboard » privé en quelque sorte !</p>
<p><strong>Deuxième partie</strong></p>
<p>Lorsque vous voyez des cartes de Noël affichées, prenez quelques secondes et attardez vous à l&#8217;ensemble global (environnement immédiat de notre médium) ainsi qu&#8217;à l&#8217;individualité des cartes. En faisant ce simple exercice, rapidement vous remarquerez, de bureau en bureau, et parfois dans le même bureau, des cartes identiques. En général, par contre, vous allez rapidement vous apercevoir qu&#8217;il y a peu d&#8217;entre elles qui se démarquent, et qu&#8217;elles forment une sorte de mélange homogène festif.</p>
<p>Voilà donc la raison pour laquelle il vous faut utiliser de stratégies de communications graphiques pour permettre à votre medium publicitaire (votre carte) de se démarquer du lot. En un seul coup d&#8217;oeil, votre carte se doit d&#8217;attirer l&#8217;attention, de transmettre un message, et de bonifier votre image de marque.</p>
<p>De plus, le but ultime est d&#8217; accrocher votre client direct à qui la carte était destiné. Il suffit d&#8217;utiliser une bonne stratégie afin que ce dernier, non seulement parle de votre carte, mais également de votre entreprise.</p>
<p>La carte de Noël est un médium sous-estimé, il est donc de votre responsabilité de faire affaire avec des experts afin de maximiser cet effort marketing. Et s&#8217;il est fait correctement, il peut vous rapporter gros!</p>
