Sometimes a company or brand logo is more than it first appears. For example, take a look at the hidden meanings or messages embedded in these 12 popular logos below. You won’t look at these designs the same way again.

Fed Ex

FedEx
Can you spot something in this logo? The FedEx logo, designed in 1994 by Linden Leader & Landor Associates, at first appears simple and straightforward. However, if you look at the white space between the “E” and “x” you can see a right-facing arrow. This “hidden” arrow was intended to be a subliminal symbol for speed and precision.

Amazon.com

Amazon.com
That yellow arrow is more than just a decorative swoosh. The Amazon logo was created to represent the message that it sells everything from A to Z (the arrow connects the two letters) and also represents the smile that customers would experience by shopping on the Amazon.com Web site (the arrow becomes a smile).

Baskin Robbins

Baskin-Robbins
In 2005, as part of its 60th anniversary celebration, Baskin-Robbins launched a new brand identity. The new logo was intended to “capture the fun and energy of Baskin-Robbins.” In the old logo, the number “31″ appeared within a simple arc, suggestive of a scoop of ice cream, and next to the name. In the new logo, you can see that the “31″ still exists. It is now formed by the pink portion of the ice cream store’s two initials: “B” and “R.”

A brochure should address the most important needs of your target audience and clearly communicate your company’s positioning — the most important benefit you will deliver to your customer, and the reason why you are uniquely well suited to deliver that benefit.

To some, branding might not feel like a tangible aspect of running a business. It can’t be seen like a product on the shelf, or counted like a cash drawer at the end of the night. But, branding is the reason people pay three times more for a product at one store over another.

Good branding is the product of a clear vision, and nobody knows more about vision than small business owners. But, with limited resources, creating a brand identity can be tricky. Fortunately, building brand awareness on the Internet doesn’t need to take a lot of money or resources.

Here are seven strategies to build your business brand:

Define the vision. Before moving ahead with the web site, create a brand positioning statement. “This isn’t just, ‘What kind of web site do we want to be?’ This is ‘Who are we?’” says Harley Manning, vice president at Forrester Research in Cambridge, Mass., a technology and market research firm that advises on the effects technology has on consumers and businesses. Good brand statements typically include the company’s mission, vision and values. “It’s succinct. It’s typically something that will fit on a page easily,” he says.

Build a brand worth believing in. “Do you so believe in what you’re creating that you would trademark it?” says Andrea Fitch, president and CEO of RedCarpet Creations, Inc., and national president of the Society for Marketing Professional Services, both based out of Alexandria, Va. Really consider what kind of brand could represent the business through the next decade. “Don’t have a logo that in five years you’re going to be tired of and discard for another,” she says.

Remember, the web site is the brand. “A web site is not just a communication medium,” Manning says. “It is actually a channel that must deliver on the promise.” Essentially, a web site should embody the promise that it makes to customers. If, for instance, a business claims to be innovative, the web site should look fresh and modern.

Create a cohesive experience between all mediums. Before she launched her company’s new web site, Fitch made sure it would be an event that her potential clients would never forget. RedCarpet Creations mailed 4,000 silver tubes containing scrolls that looked like rolled-up carpet. Inside the scrolls was an announcement about the web site’s launch. Once online, the web site was an extension of the invitations because it followed through on the themes of red carpet imagery and references to visitors being treated like a VIP. Customers should easily be able to recognize the company’s brand, whether it is print, online or some other form of media, Manning says.

Don’t sacrifice creativity. Once the brand’s guidelines are established, creative choices must bring those attributes to life, Manning says. Don’t let the company’s brand become so dominating that there is no room for new thoughts and ideas. Brand should be the jumping-off point for interesting ideas, not the place where every new idea dead-ends. Fitch stresses that a sense of fun and whimsy will only enhance the likelihood that people will take an interest in the web site.

Don’t communicate brand at the expense of delivering. While a web site can be a significant tool for building brand awareness, clarity and functionality are paramount. “Just be careful not to let the communication about your brand get in the way of delivering your message,” Manning says. People should be able to understand how to navigate the site without knowing a thing about the company’s catch phrases. “You can’t frustrate and annoy people into liking your brand,” he says.

Listen to the customers: They determine a brand’s true value. Pay attention to customer feedback about the site because, ultimately, it’s the customers’ opinion that counts. When it comes to building a brand, a company can incorporate everything from signature colors to catch phrases, but at the end of the day, it’s the consumer who decides what a brand is really worth. “It’s not what you say [about] yourself, it’s what others say of you,” Fitch says.

7 Ways to Build Brand Awareness

Most business cards I see put me to sleep. At best they’re good for jotting down notes. Beyond that they do nothing to make me want to do business with the person who’s name is on them.

You can get more from your business cards though. Here are a few ideas to get the most from them.

Why Have Business Cards?

The first thing to remember when buying business cards is “why are you buying them?” Are they just to sit on your desk and impress people who come to you? Or are they “working business cards” that get are expected to generate business? Do you want them to be passed on so they produce referrals for you? Or would you prefer they stay in your customer’s wallet, briefcase or desk drawer so they call you when they need you?

Build Your Business Cards to Suit Your Purpose

Cards to impress should be fancy. They should shout “I’m expensive!”  Cards that are meant to get more business should be designed to send a different message. They should tell your customer why they should do business with you. Use your cards to deliver the same message the rest of your marketing delivers.

Or, you might design your cards to encourage people to pass them on so you get referrals. Create a clever way to suggest this and put it on your business card. Make your cards viral! Think of the dollar bills or stuffed animals that travel all over the world. How can you encourage people to pass your cards on?

The Practical Side

If your budget is moderate and your business cards do not have to be fancy, the online printing companies are a good choice.  But, if you want something of high quality, or that is unique (and you’re not a graphics designer) then my advice is to use a local or chain printing shop.

If you use the “bricks and mortar” option, get at least two bids. There is a BIG variation in pricing. The chains are usually more competitive and consistent in their pricing but they might not offer all the bells and whistles a local shop might.
