If you have a website and thinking of getting its logo done, let me tell you website logo designing is a specialized job, which calls for understanding of the medium ‘Internet’ besides skills required from a graphic designer. Website logo has to bear essence of the website and express millions of words. It not only has to be appealing, but also technically sound so that it doesn’t take too long to get loaded or to become visible.
Here are some tips for designing an effective and appealing website logo.
Never settle for bitmap. Although it’s a conventional practice these days to use vector images, but at times designers are casual about it too. Vector designs allow maximum variants, repeated resizing and alterations, color edits. Vector images allow repetitive resizing alteration without loss of picture quality.
Don’t suffocate and clutter your website logo. Let it breathe. Never use too many fonts. Preferably use a single font, at the maximum two. More than that is highly unappealing. Multi font logo designs exhibit immaturity, amateurish attempt of its designer. Remember, your logo should contain a single font. Even if the brand name is of 3 words, it can’t contain different fonts for different words. You may use one typeface for the company name and another typeface for its slogan. Too many fonts not only distract but also loosen brand coherence and dilute its identity in viewer’s mind.
Legibility is very important. A website has to fit within the screen, while displaying everything at a time. Logo is challenged by other space filling elements like web content, advertisements, pictures etc. Web name and its logo occupy a small portion, within which it has to grab attention to the fullest. Thus logo has to be attractive, distinct, and legible. Its each letter has to be prominent and clear. If a logo can’t be read despite bearing exceptionally brilliant design, it falls flat on face. Remember, at the end of the end it bears name of the website – its sole identity. Simple, yet graceful logo always works. Your logo says a thousand words about your company.
Pictures are not graphics and do not allow resizing. Avoid them in logo. They clutter logo as well. Instead you may use a symbol.
Get set go, get a logo for your portal.

We all know how to write a resume, but what many of us don’t know are the mistakes that we often commit while crafting a resume. There are many mistakes which silently creep into our resume and stay there for long. We may not notice them always, but recruiters do. Such mistakes expose unprofessionalism, carelessness. Make sure you avoid these mistakes.
We often make our resumes unnecessarily long stretched over pages. Always remember, an ideal resume should not be more than two pages. For fresher or junior employees pages shouldn’t be more than one and half page. Unless you are into profession for more than 15 years and head superior positions like Managing director, CEO your resume shouldn’t be too long. Make it crisp, compact yet all inclusive.
We often write things randomly, without maintaining order. An ideal resume should never be clumsy in terms of order of happenings in your life. As for example, state your present job on the top, followed by the earlier one, followed by the one before that and ending work experience column with the first job of your life. Same rule goes for other sections like academic qualification. Always mention latest happening first, followed by the earlier ones. It helps the recruiter know what you are doing in present.
It’s often seen applicants don’t take resume much seriously and treat it as an informal affair. People often put informal email addresses on their resume like – or . They show immaturity and casual approach of the applicant. Make a formal email account which sounds formal, containing your name or initials and use the same for all job applications.
People often commit the mistake regarding alignment of text. People often put text in center alignment. It jeopardizes balance. Put every text towards left of the page, including name and contact information on the top.
To convey maximum information people are often tempted to write in paragraphs. Don’t do it, it’s dangerous. No one likes to read paragraphs. Put all information in short bullet points or break into points with enough space in between to show distinction of the points. Write in small crisp sentences while conveying all important information like – name of course, name of institute, place, percentage, year of passing.
Once you control these mistakes, your resume can get even better.

Table manners are equally important and same in any part of the world. Good table manners should be learnt right from the childhood. Proper table manners make both host and guest feel at ease, comfortable, confident and happy. Whether it’s a formal dinner or a casual party, table manners will be common everywhere. Follow the given tips below.
Take your seat with grace and panache. Sit up straight, yet comfortably. Don’t slouch or lean back in your chair.
Most commonly committed mistake is talking with mouth full of food. It’s a strict ‘no no’ and looks very unpleasant. If you have to speak gracefully take a real small bite, tuck into your cheek with your tongue, then speak softly and in short.
A big turn off are the people chewing noisily. This is one fundamental table manner. Such noisy eating habit is not only distracting and unappetizing, but also embarrassing.
Pick only moderate forkful size bites. Cut meat and salads into small pieces before putting into mouth, so that the excess parts do not hang from your mouth.
Don’t rush. Eat leisurely. Enjoy it! Eat with grace and style. Slow eating not only facilitates good digestion, but also shows your interest in food and the company. Hastened eating shows disrespect towards the host and apathy towards food.
Don’t wave utensils like knives, forks in the air. Besides chances of unwanted accidents it also shows your immaturity and hyper nature.
Keep your elbows off the dining table. Besides occupying space it can also cause dangerous knock-down of utensils, resulting into severe mess all around. Elbow rested on table make you lean and appear slouching.
Don’t get in the way of people eating or talking. Always look behind, make sure you didn’t step into his extreme proximity, disturbing his eating or talking process.
Common courteous words like – ‘thank you’, ‘please’, ‘excuse me’, ‘beg your pardon’ are not to be ignored. These handy words are of great help.
When you are through with your eating, don’t forget to compliment the cook. It’s his great culinary skill that made your evening so special. Thank him from bottom of your heart. Even if the meal was not so pleasant, leave a thanks note. It always encourages him to do better next time.
After eating don’t forget to wipe your lips with napkin. Leaving smudged stains on the edge of wine glasses are surely unappealing.
