I would imagine that there is a very limited amount of images without copyright? I think some people are gifted at that type of work. I remember paying an artist onetime to design a logo for a carpet store for me, I didn’t like anything she tried but paid her for her time anyway. I probably should have tried a graphic designer like Mjolnir said. To be fair, and having spoken to people within the industry & being realistic in order to achieve such an extensive digital catologue I'm fully aware that my options via copyright free will be limited at best. I will pay for the right type of catologue if it suits my requirements and fit for purpose, I'm certainly not begrudging others work and willing to aquire it properly, as it will be a long term worthwhile investment so I'm not aiming to skimp and be frugal on the issue. However, some images are copyright free the catologue size will be limited, I want to aquire the catologue with peace of mind, however sourcing these images is proving challenging and more than one supplier is highly likely. if anyone has any pointers or recommendations these are warmly welcomed.

Members rodneywt1180b Posted December 31, 2017 Members Report Posted December 31, 2017 I don't have a maker's mark yet. Just a brand, if that. The name of my Etsy store is A Sturdy Stick. While I like the name and the initials are an accurate description of the owner they don't work well for a logo. While some of my canes could take a stamp others would be difficult. Quote
Members Sledzep01 Posted January 2, 2018 Members Report Posted January 2, 2018 No business name here Way back about 20 years ago I moved to NH (GA Now ) and bought a Snowmobile (Sled) Iand went online to learn all I could. I needed a name and married it to my favorite band Led Zeppelin. For whatever reason I had to add the 01 at the end so... SledZep01. Now I have Sled and Led wherever I go. If you see that name elsewhere, it's me. Sled Quote Remember, Whether you think you can, or think you can't. You're Right! Tell me and I forget. Show me and I remember. Involve me and I understand.

Members Brianm77 Posted January 13, 2018 Members Report Posted January 13, 2018 I don’t have a makers mark or a logo yet. Still trying to come up with a name. I have been leaning towards rusty nuts leather, or something of the sorts. When I build something out of metal it always seems to covered in rust. It is either cause I have had that piece of metal for 10 or 15 years, or I am to cheep to buy a stick for 5 or 6 feet. And I am always fighting rust on my tools, shop not sealed off very good. And it kinda fits my style classy rustic if I had to call it something. I have been thinking of a name and artwork for months so I can get stamps made and Facebook page etc, to try to get a little more out there than just word of mouth from friends and family Quote
Members KittenThrasher Posted January 13, 2018 Members Report Posted January 13, 2018 Kitten_Thrasher is one of a couple of my online handles, it was created years ago during a party on a beach, it has no meaning and kittens are usually safe with me unless i'm thinking of making some nice soft gloves, small ones. The avatar was created by my daughter, she did 'surgery' on Barbie then photoshopped real eyes into the picture, she was 9 years old at the time, her mother was less impressed than I was. 'been using it ever since, the original is quite disturbing, lots of blood spatter, gore and a razor blade. Nice. Quote

There is always one kid that has talent. pay them what you think is fair, they will accept. While I was in college I did a logo for a restaurant ( does any one else hate spelling restaurant!) $300 bucks. rendered in photoshop. A catfish in a rocking chair was the image.

Mjolnir Posted January 14, 2018 Author Report Posted January 14, 2018 I'll cruise by tomorrow. The image is on an old computer. But Ellie's Catfish Café is down the street:) Quote He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which.
