A business with no sign is a sign of no business. Your brand is your corporate signature in the market place. It makes you stand out.
Colors
Coming up with your brand identity begins from your choice of colors. Colors convey different meaning in the mind of the beholder. Green for instance stands for nature, renewal, health etc. It will be a good color for a pharmaceutical firm for instance
Logos
With your colors in tact, you can go ahead to create a logo. Logos are the chief visual component of a company's overall brand identity. Logo should help convey some information about the company, or be designed in a way that gives some sense of meaning about the company or its industry
Tag line
What is the slogan you should be known with. Your tagline summarizes what you stand for in a nutshell.
others
After all these are in place you can go ahead to design your corporate stationeries and others

Below is an example of our branding project, from logo creation to business cards and other stationeries

There is nothing like originality, nigerians should learn to unleash their creative juices than "copy paste". Webinar, what a shame

The way PDP governors are dying and going sick is what I can't explain.

Is father late?

By Stefan J. Bos

1/4/2013 Bangladesh (BosNewsLife)- A Bangladeshi Christian evangelist, who says he was forced to marry a Muslim woman and pressured to return to Islam, has appeared in front of a Dhaka court for allegedly mistreating his wife.

Mark Huda Junayed said Saturday, December 22, that the bride's family claims he "tortured" her because she refused to handover 200,000 Bangladeshi takas ($2,500) for the traditional dowry.

However, "These charges are false," he told BosNewsLife. "Her family is angry because I don't want to stay with her and plan a divorce.  She is 40, but I am just 20.  I don't want to marry yet," he said.

Under the country's civil laws he is a minor as the legal age of consent and minimum age for marriage is 21 for men and 18 for women.

MORE CASES 

His case is no exception in the Asian nation where marriages are predominantly arranged because of poverty and religious traditions.  U.S investigators and rights activists say Bangladesh does not have a clear law banning forced marriage.

"Marrying off minors is a criminal offence, and persons who marry off minors may be prosecuted under the Child Marriage Restraint Act. However, the marriage itself would not be invalidated by this process," the U.S State Department said in a recent report.

Most of those forced to marry are girls.  Some 66 percent of girls wed before their 18th birthday - up 2 percent from 2009, according to last year's report from the United Nations children's fund UNICEF .

Yet, as Junayed's case shows, young men, boys and elderly women are also impacted by the country's long tradition of arranged, and often forced, marriages.

INTERNATIONAL TREATIES

The State Department says the practice violates the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which states that "no marriage shall be entered into without the free and full consent of the intending spouses".

Washington also "considers forced marriage to be a human rights abuse [and] in the case of minors also a form of child abuse. Often, victims are subjected to non-consensual sex, physical and emotional abuse, isolation, and threats of violence."

Junayed said he was forced to marry after his Muslim stepmother discovered he had converted to Christianity. "When my stepmother found out I go to church, she and her relatives abducted me," the Christian told BosNewsLife.

"On August 7 they brought me to an unknown place in the Zatrabari area in capital Dhaka," he said. "There I was forced to marry a Muslim woman they bought for me, according to Islamic law. This way they wanted to make sure I would remain a Muslim. However I never had sexual relations with her."

BIBLE'S JOSEPH

Junayed explained that  he wanted to leave, just as Joseph in the Bible ran away from a woman who wanted to sleep with him. "On August 8, I cut my hand with a blade I found in the bathroom. I told them I would commit suicide if they continued to hold me."

He managed to escape, but the woman's family soon launched a trial against him. "I was delivering Bibles when I learned that police was searching for me," he recalled. "Praise the Lord they did not find me at the time."

During this week's hearing, the Bangladesh High Court in Dhaka declined to detain him as requested by the plaintiffs, according to court documents obtained by BosNewsLife. Junayed, who visits an evangelical church in Dhaka, cautioned he could still be jailed at a later stage.

"Justice Siddiqur Rahman Miah said I have to go to the Magistrate Court for my final release within eight weeks. But I don't have money for that since I already gave 300 dollars to a lawyer.  The next legal procedure cost 200 dollars," at least two times the average monthly salaries in Bangladesh, he explained

Read your Bible and stop comparing preachers. We don't run popularity contests in Christianity. This is what the scriptures say on that
1. It is not wisdom but foolishness to run comparisms
We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise"2cor 10:12

2. It is spiritual babies and unbelievers that do that
You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?
For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not mere men?1 Cor 3:3-4

Finally, be careful in this last days false prophets will even pull crowds. Crowd strenght is not a tardstick to judge impact in a miracle loving Nigeria church. Judge by changed lives

Whereas I am not calling AcidTalk one, but even those using demonic powers can predict the future. Never be carried away by prophecies and predictions that come to pass they are not the acid test of a man sent from God. In the Bible, the witch and Endoor prophesied that Saul and Jonathan will die same day by conjuring a familiar spirit she called Samuel. It happened the same way she said it. That does not make her to be doing it for God. That's why the Bible adviced we test every spirit. The many demonic prayer houses we have in Nigeria were formed by people who predicted a thing over some1 and it happened. Some one possessed by the devil can do same thing

The Bible narrated that Jacob(Israel) grabbed Esau's leg while they were being born.(Gen 25:26) If sights like this dazzle you, it means God actually want Israel to be born in a spectacular way. Stories like this go back to tell us that Bible stories are not fairy tales and to authenticate the Bibles statement that nothing is new under the sun.(Eccl 1:9)

A Muslim resident in the area who did not want his name in print, said since the inscription miraculously appeared on Saturday, hundreds of people have visited the scene

When a resident doesn't want to be mentioned, the truth is that he may know something others don't know or afraid that if the truth is later discovered his reputation would be at stake.

Islam and Catholicism continue to resemble each other. For the Catholic, Mary appears always in diverse places attracting a huge traffic of pilgrims and residents make a fortune from them in the process. While some are organizing crusades to convert sinners others are excited to propagate mysticism in the name of christianity

Muslims with the same mindset and copycatting agenda. Today a goat is born with an Allah inscription on it, tomoro a baby is born with a little koran etc.

May be its time we differentiate between magic and miracle

anitank: He could wake up on New Year day to tell us Nigeria has been sold to China

Abeg if Mr President says we are now Chinese call me jin cheng, what should I call u?

If this is true then its unfortunate becos I've always rated the non-tout services of ABC as the best in the country. I still can't see any to compare with it even if this allegation is true. Ifesinachi? Worst!! I left my money wt them last time I was coming to Lagos from Abakaliki. They driver stopped at Delta and spent 4 hours looking for passengers, I had to come down and board another vehicle as they refused to give me back my money

This is a very wrong use of Nairaland. To rubbish someones business on the front page when the story is not verified. How I'm I sure this story is not sponsored by the competitor. Seun I advice you discpline whoever brought this to the front page. It is different if the management were obstinate to the moderator or established they were refused compensation after repeated warning from Nairaland of the consequence. I have only boarded ABC once few years ago(and can say they are well trained), so I'm not speaking for them but for the future. Shd people begin to use Nairaland to witchhunt their competitor after paying a moderator one huge some. I support Chibuzors Eze scam case that was brought to the front page because he was stubborn and arrogant not this one that no investigation has been done. You better remove this from the front page. Nairaland is already a brand and anything brought to the front page is your image at stake, u better have rules that regulates when issues like this should be brought to the front page;u don't close other genuine businesses while trying to grow your own

What Surprise Are You Expecting From President's 2013 New Year Address?

I am not against Mr President but I think he has a lot of surprise package for Nigerians. On the first of January this year, the president announced an increase in the price of petrol. It was unexpected and Nigerians were taken by surprise. The year started with a protest that the opposition tried to hijack to their advantage

Come the Democracy Day broadcast, Mr President also changed the name of UNILAG to MAULAG after the late MKO. Many people including the staff of the university were taken by surprise as they were not contacted before the change. Though the court was later to rule in favour of UNILAG as against MAULAG

Now January 1 is around the corner and Mr President is going to address us again, what surprise should we be expecting?

By falling in love with something else while keeping an open mind. You may fall in love with your books, movies, the Bible etc until the right person comes

That's the Nigerian copycatting of the US gangster culture. A lifestyle that has further dehumanized the citizens of the States. We used to have non-Gospel reggae artists that used music to correct societal ills way back in the days of Ras Kimono, the matadors etc. Now I wonder if we even have a censors board. Everything is now promoting sex and loose living and no one is saying anything.

I fear what the next generation will be if they take this obsession with sex a step higher. from the it may generate to giving homosexuality an official recognition like the US madness labelled civilization.

Well I agree with the person that attributed it to the End Time when the Bible says that
"Men shall be lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God" the worst is those who are supposed to be coming from the church. I am not in the school of those who insist you must sing Gospel but I believe that your secular music videos and lyrics should not promote the same vulgar b00ty swinging, b00st joggling immoral indecency of the world.

If you think ut won't sale then ask Asa, she doesn't feature all those immoral frivolities yet she has gained global recognition. All u need is to spice it with some creativity.

The pitiable thing about human beings is that sometimes we are so engrossed with "where and how one is buried" without ever sitting down to wonder where he/ she is going after now. Has it ever occurred to you that contrary to some African belief how you are buried does not determine whether you are resting in peace or not.

Most of the early disciples were fed to lions, they never had a befitting burial, but they are resting, relaxing and wearing the crown of honor many that were buried with pomp and pageantry can never smell

[size=14pt]Its not how you died or where/how you were buried that matters but how you lived[/size]
