Trading Privilege for Privation, Family Hits a Nerve in South Africa
The New York Times
"Regina Matshega was gossiping with a neighbor over a fence between their shacks in the Phomolong squatter camp last month when a very unexpected sight suddenly popped into view: two ruddy-cheeked white South Africans, a man and a woman, with two towheaded toddlers running at their heels.
'I couldn't believe my eyes,' Ms. Matshega said. 'What are white people doing here? They live in the rich places. They never come this side.'" READ MORE

Val Waters necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 153 diseños de 56 diseñadores freelance.
http://www.actionherobabe.com (not currently active)
I'm a personal trainer in Los Angeles, specializing in working with actors/actresses - preparing them for movie roles/photoshoots/red carpet events, etc.
I've worked with some of Hollywood's most beautiful men and women (Cindy Crawford, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner) but as of late, I've been producing more and more fitness products and information products.
I have a piece of exercise equipment called the Valslide.. you can see that at http://www.valslide.com
A couple of my currently available exercise programs are Red Carpet Ready (http://www.redcarpetready.com) and I Want My Bikini Body (http://www.iwantmybikinibody.com) - which I'll be coming back for, for more logos! :-)
This is a fitness product, targetting women between the ages of 25-50
They are not newbie exercisers.. its for a more advanced crowd who want a little bit more of a "lean" look.. more info will be found in the Brief.
The logo/typeface should read "Action Hero Babe Training System"
A brand new fitness program, for women, from celebrity trainer, Valerie Waters
This program was used when she trained Jennifer Garner for roles like Alias, Elektra etc.., Also used for Uma Thurman in Kill Bill, Kate Beckinsale in Underworld.. Rachel Nichols in this summer's new GI Joe movie..
This system was used to get these women in that condition.
Not for a newbie exerciser.. Designed for the woman who wants a tiny bit more muscle, but NOT bulky.
Think tough, badass action hero type women.. still very sexy, feminine, but can kick butt.
Sort of want the logo to look like a cross between a Movie Title and Fitness Product..
We are going to launch this product next month and going to sort of use a movie trailer style promo.. so think in that direction.
Action Hero Babe Training System
Some fitness products that may help:
Dynamic, fun, sexy, tough, cool
Movies/TV Shows:
The Matrix
GI Joe
Kill Bill
Long Kiss Goodnight
Colors: open to ideas.. but thinking darker.. blacks etc. Have fun though! I'll be here to give feedback!

Obviously the Warriors will win. I'm not going to say anything. I say the Warriors are 0-0, the season just started due to a lockout and that they have a legit shot at the 8th seed. Simple as that. I'm not going to give up hope.
Warriors by 7.

I say... that Andre Miller looks retarded in that pic. And that Philly is playing better now that AI is not longer there. In fact, they're playing much better at home. Won't be as easy as it seems.
But we should win. We have to win if we want to fight for the playoffs. W's by 4.

Philly has surprisingly played relatively well since the Iverson trade. Andre Miller and Andre Iguodala have been playing great of late. That being said, I do not see the Warriors winning this one. Their defense is rubbish and when push comes to shove, the Warrior players will try to isolate and do things on their own rather than as a team.

Wow, that was an absurd shot by Igoudala. Perfect. Down by one with 18 to go. Why am I not so confident we'll pull this one out?

Wow. I jinxed the loss. Thank god. Nice one by Harrington. God, did we ever need that ****ing win.

As we've worked on the new Phishing Filter in IE7, we knew the key measure would be how effective it is in protecting customers. In addition to our internal tests, we wanted to find some external measure of our progress to date as well as pointing to ways we could improve. We didn't know of a publicly available study covering the area, only some internal and media product reviews. (We've blogged a few times about the new Phishing Filter in IE7; in addition to these technical details we published the results of a 3rd party privacy audit.)
To help us answer this question, we asked 3 Sharp LLC to conduct a study of the Phishing Filter in IE7 along with seven other products designed to protect against phishing threats. In order to establish an accurate methodology on a level field, they utilized four sources of independent data that are not used to populate the IE7 Phishing Filter service today. They worked hard to build large enough sample sizes of actual phishing sites to draw meaningful conclusions.
3Sharp LLC tested eight browser-based products to evaluate their overall accuracy in catching 100 live confirmed phishing websites over a six week period (May – July 2006) and also understand the false-positive error rate on 500 good sites. In addition to IE7, the toolbar and browser solutions tested included the offerings from EarthLink, eBay, GeoTrust, Google Safe Browsing using Firefox, McAfee SiteAdvisor, Netcraft, and Netscape. You can see actual version numbers in the detailed report.
We are pleased to see that Internet Explorer 7's Phishing Filter finished at the top of 3Sharp's list as most accurate anti-phishing technology, catching nearly 9 out of 10 phishing sites while generating no warning or block errors on the 500 legitimate websites tested. You can read the report for yourself at 3Sharp's website. The report contains details on the methodology, the data sources used and even a list of every single URL tested.
It's great to see so many companies looking for different ways to address the significant problem of phishing. We think that the results reported by 3Sharp validate the unique approach we've taken of combining a service-backed block list with client-side heuristics. That said, we understand that the threat posed by phishing is constantly evolving as are the tools designed to protect users, so this set of results represents only the relative performance during that period. We know we need to keep working to keep up with the changes in the attacks and are already using the results of this test to further improve the efficacy of the Phishing Filter.
If you're using IE7 but not already using the Phishing Filter, I encourage you to turn it on (you can find it under the Tools icon) and browse with more confidence. If you're not using IE7 yet, you can install our latest version here.

The WhatsApp team has released another update for their Windows Phone app. This is becoming regular news, so much so that we're tempted to set up a new website dedicated to the app and its frequent releases. Versions 2.9.2 and .3 both included more improvements and features, so what has 2.9.4 got to offer consumers?
Like the most recent version bumps (the last one published only yesterday), WhatsApp 2.9.4 contains bug fixes. According to the changelog that has been added to the app listing on the store, we're looking at the following:
- Fix crashes on Settings and app install on a small number of 7.x devices
- Fix installation hangs for Finnish and Polish users
You can download WhatsApp from the Windows Phone Store. Thanks, Nik, for the tip!

Large Coalition Of Tech Companies And Advocacy Groups Demand Greater Transparency About NSA Surveillance
from the let-us-be-transparent dept
A large coalition of tech companies (including big ones like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Dropbox, Apple and AOL -- as well as small like... us here at Floor64) and advocacy groups/trade organizations (including the ACLU, EFF, CDT, CCIA, Engine, Freedom of the Press Foundation, Public Knowledge, Public Citizen and many more) have come together to support a move by Congress to allow much more transparency when it comes to government surveillance efforts. There's both the issue of general support for Congress being explicit in allowing tech companies to reveal information about government requests for info, and, more specifically, support for a couple of important bills introduced in Congress:
Specifically, we write to voice our strong support for S. 1452, the Surveillance Transparency Act of 2013, and H.R. 3035, the Surveillance Order Reporting Act of 2013, each of which would clarify that companies have the right to publish basic statistics about the government demands for user data that they receive. We urge the Committees to hold hearings on the issue of surveillance transparency as a prelude to the markup of these bills.There are many, many things that need to happen in response to the revelations of the NSA's activities. This is just one minor step in a much bigger process, but it's an important one. The ability of the federal government to gag companies when it requests information is a huge violation of free speech rights and the basic right of the public to know what their government is doing on their behalf.
Many of the undersigned organizations and companies previously wrote a letter to you and other leaders in Congress and the Administration on July 18th, asking for legislation that would require more comprehensive transparency reporting by the government and allow for more comprehensive transparency reporting by US companies that receive national security–related information requests. We are thankful that Senator Franken, working with eleven cosponsors including Chairman Leahy, and Representative Lofgren, as part of a bipartisan coalition of nine cosponsors including Ranking Member Conyers and Representatives Poe and Chaffetz, were able to so quickly respond to the pressing need for more transparency around the US government's national security surveillance efforts. Such transparency is important not only for the American people, who are entitled to have an informed public debate about the appropriateness of that surveillance, but also for international users of US-based service providers who are concerned about privacy and security

The HP Blackbird 02 was as beautiful as it was big, but the Voodoo-designed gaming computer's price tag was the ultimate turn off for most gamers. But what about cheaper and smaller?
Leaked specs for the diminutive HP Firebird 803, also a Voodoo-esque gaming rig, could be just the thing to attract hardcore gamers, though that video card leaves a bit to be desired.
NVIDIA nForce 760i SLI chipset
Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz processor
4GB of RAM
Dual NVIDIA GeForce 9800S cards
Two 320GB SATA drives
5-in-1 card reader
6 USB, 1 FireWire, 2 eSATA, 1 S/PDIF and 1 DVI dual-link
802.11n WiFi
The desktop will come with a wireless keyboard and mouse as well as an external power supply. Sounds like it's got potential, but the price could be the deal breaker for me.

1999 Ford Expedition ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Minor improvements throughout make it better.
If mousetraps were 17 feet long, one might characterize the Expedition as Ford's better mousetrap. Since its introduction three years ago, Ford's biggest sport-utility vehicle has been a resounding sales success. The assembly plant in Wayne, Michigan, has been running full steam to meet the demand for the Expedition and its luxurious near-twin, the Lincoln Navigator.
Why is the Expedition so successful? The reasons may go beyond the current enthusiasm for large sport-utilities. The Expedition is selling like hot cakes at least partly because it does everything it was designed to do and it does it well. Its good looks certainly don't hurt, either.
With demand running high, Ford has wisely made only evolutionary changes for 1999. Both engines get more power -- without hurting EPA fuel economy ratings. The Expedition has been certified for 1999 as a low-emissions vehicle, or LEV, in states that have adopted California's tougher emissions regulations.
A new front fascia, grille and bumper system with fog lamps incorporated into the lower valence give the Expedition a fresh look. And the base model comes with more standard equipment; even though the base price has gone up, this move actually lowers many out-the-door prices.
The stylists at Ford took a sensible approach when they set out to shape the Expedition. They already had two winners to their credit -- the F-150 pickup and the Explorer. So they borrowed the best elements from each to create another success. From nose to windshield, the Expedition shares sheet metal with the F-150. From the front doors back, the Expedition has the contours of an Explorer. No panels interchange between Expedition and Explorer, but the resemblance is unmistakable.
This combination of ingredients works well. The Expedition is handsome, with a sloping hoodline and rounded front end that reflect attention to aerodynamics. It's a design that pays off with improved fuel efficiency and reduced wind noise. As a matter of necessity, the sides and back are shaped more for utility than style. Clever use of trim and rounded corners provides some visual definition, however.
Stretching more than 17 feet from nose to tail, the Expedition is certainly no compact. There's no way to disguise that. GM's Suburban is even longer, adding a foot-and-a-half to the total. Ford touts the Expedition's shorter length as a benefit when trying to fit into a garage. An Expedition will fit into some garages that are too small for a Suburban -- ours, for example -- but check yours to be sure as garage sizes vary.
Two trim levels, XLT and Eddie Bauer, make up the Expedition model range. With little demand for plain, entry-level vehicles in this class, Ford equips the XLT well and the Eddie Bauer even better. Visual differences between XLT and Eddie Bauer are confined to paint and trim, and equipment level distinctions between the two can be blurred by checking off items from a long list of optional equipment.
The Expedition derives much of its chassis and mechanical hardware from Ford's F-150 pickup and all Expeditions are available with two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
The Expedition's generous outside dimensions provide for a large, commodious interior. Two seating configurations are available. Ordered with optional front bucket seats and a center bench, the Expedition can comfortably haul five passengers. Ordered with the standard front full-width seat and center bench makes room for six passengers. Well-padded chairs provide comfortable seating.
The optional third-row bench provides seating for two more passengers -- three if they are small. Getting in and out of the third seat requires some agility, though, so it helps if they are small and young. Our XLT came with attractive color-keyed door- and dash panels, power windows, mirrors and door locks, air conditioning, a tilt steering wheel and a good audio system. First- and second-row occupants get separate heating, ventilation and air conditioning controls; a third set of controls for the third seat is optional.
A curved dashboard houses instruments and controls where they can easily be reached. An optional large center console offers additional storage space and a place for front-seat occupants to rest their arms. (The Eddie Bauer comes with an overhead console with a digital display that provides compass headings, date and time and average fuel economy; a switch operates power swing-out rear quarter windows.)
Attractive and durable materials are used throughout the Expedition's cabin. Soft-touch coverings are applied to switches and door panels. The window switches are lighted internally at night, a nice touch that not all vehicles carry. One new optional feature this year is an industry first: At the touch of a dashboard-mounted switch, the pedal cluster can be electrically adjusted fore-and-aft. With a range of adjustment of three inches, this feature allows shorter drivers to find a more comfortable driving position with greater ease.
Driving Impression
From the driver's seat, you can't help but notice the size of the Expedition. Surprisingly, this bulk doesn't make it especially difficult to drive. Speed-sensitive variable-assist power steering works in the driver's favor by keeping steering effort low. Brake pedal feel is light, yet precise. Lots of large windows, along with big mirrors, make it easy to see in all directions. Extra care and attention is required when maneuvering in close-quarters, however.
The ride quality is good, though it is not as soft as that of a traditional family sedan or wagon. The two-wheel-drive Expedition is slightly smoother on the highway, but both two- and four-wheel-drive versions ride very nicely considering their size and weight. An advantage of the Expedition's long wheelbase is a resistance to pitching over freeway expansion joints and other irregularities. When driven on back roads, the Expedition does not lean unduly in corners, nor does the front end dive excessively under hard braking.
An optional load-leveling system uses compressed air to compensate for varying loads while improving ride quality. Built into the system is a one-inch increase in ride height. When parked, the system can make the Expedition 4x4 kneel down to lower the step-in height, which makes getting in and out of the vehicle easier.
Four-wheel-drive Expeditions are more competent off road than their size and fancy trimmings suggest. While serious rock-climbing is not suggested, occasional forays off the beaten path can be undertaken without fear of being left stranded. By simply turning a rotary knob on the dashboard, the driver can choose between two-wheel drive, part-time four-wheel drive, full-time four-wheel drive and low-range four-wheel drive.
Beyond the choice of two- or four-wheel drive, the buyer also chooses between two V8 engines. The 4.6-liter and 5.4-liter V8s are identical save for displacement. They are smooth and quiet. Both engines are mated to a four-speed automatic transmission.
We recommend the larger unit, which delivers extra pulling power for full passenger loads and heavy trailers. The 5.4-liter V8 produces 345 foot-pounds of torque, enabling it to pull a trailer of up to 8300 pounds -- when ordered as a 4x2 with 16-inch wheels and the 3.73 axle ratio. An Expedition 4x4 with the smaller 4.6-liter engine and big 17-inch wheels can only muster 5500 pounds.
Even though this year's changes are relatively minor, the Expedition enters its third year as the clear leader of its class. Its blend of strength, refinement, comfort, good road manners and exceptional finish quality is not matched by the current Suburban. The shorter length of the Expedition is an admission ticket to a larger number of garages.
The lure of the Expedition is its versatility. The Expedition can carry a large family in limousine-like splendor, pull a trailer, move cargo or explore places beyond pavement's end.

I really like my robot, and I think it will really fit into the "purpose" that I have lined up for it. (It's going to be an "animatronics" as part of a "display" -- when I get a "round tuit".)
Playing with my just-completed robot for a few minutes, I was struck by how rough/jerky slow speed movements are.
I can think of at least four possible causes, but would appreciate a few comments:
1) It's just something wrong with my robot.
2) It's an artifact of the D/A converters (i.e., low resolution).
3) It's an artifact of how the software generates slow movements.
4) It's an artifact of the servos used.
I doubt that it's 1, as it seems to affect all three servos. As for 4, my experience with analog servos is that they are usually as good as the control voltage. I'm thinking 2 and/or 3, though I've neither looked at the source code yet nor put my oscilloscope on the servo control voltages.
In the aforementioned display, the robot will need to display increasing levels of "excitement" based on "user" actions. Building my own "brain" with higher res/higher speed is certainly a possibility.
I'm posting rather than e-mailing Mark directly, as I suspect that other users may have a similar question.

Weighing the Value of SecurityBy Dennis McCafferty | Posted 2010-04-08 Print
Business and technology managers may be uncertain about the differences between public and private clouds, but they need to get up to speed very quickly because the demand for cloud computing is increasing at a fast clip.
Weighing the Value of Security
Security is another big issue in the cloud debate. IT and business departments will often weigh the need for balance between cost and convenience on one hand and data security on the other. Of course, all organizations value security, but some have a higher threshold for potential violations than others and require a need-for-speed strategy to survive.
An enterprise that handles high-transaction/low-security or low data value is well-suited for the public cloud, says Aninda Bose, who has analyzed both cloud structures as head of strategic sales and marketing at NIIT Technologies and as a member of the Project Management Institute, a nonprofit research organization. For example, if a local government office wants to tell you that your car registration is up for renewal and just needs to give you a renewal date, that would be perfect for public cloud hosting, he explains.
In contrast, a financial institution, health care provider or federal agency might choose the private cloud model, given the sensitivity of their data. "Accounting treatments and taxation applications are not yet fully tested for public cloud services," says Mark White, principal with Deloitte Consulting. "So enterprises with significant risk from information exposure may want to focus on the private cloud approach.
"This caution is most relevant for systems that process, manage and report key customer, financial or intelligence information. It's less important for 'edge' systems, such as salesforce automation and Web order-entry applications."
The Orthopedic Institute, a Sioux Falls, S.D.-based medical-practice company that's very data-dependent, concluded that the private cloud structure best suited its needs, especially since it must comply with strict Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) rules for protecting patient information.
Originally, the Orthopedic Institute was just looking to change its domain name from Ortho-I.com, explains IT Director David Vrooman. But when it explored possibilities with MaxMD, the exclusive provider of .md domains, it found that MaxMD could also provide private cloud services for highly secured, encrypted e-mail transmissions—and the cost of entry was less than doing it in-house.
"We didn't want to use one of our servers for this because it would have amounted to a $20,000 startup cost," Vrooman recalls. "By going with a private cloud option, we launched this at one-fifth of that expense—and it only took an afternoon to get started.
"It would have taken at least a week for my staff and me to get this done. And because MaxMD has taken over the e-mail encryption, I'm not getting up at 3 a.m. to find out what's wrong with the server."
But some industry experts say the traditional views about cloud computing and security may be shifting—even within organizations that are dependent on highly secured data. For its business resources-providing subsidiary, CPA2Biz, the New York-based American Institute of Certified Public Accountants wanted to provide its 350,000 members with access to the latest software tools.
Working with Intacct, CPA2Biz created a public cloud model for its CPA members. Since the program was launched in April, concerns about security have been addressed, and hundreds of firms are supporting an estimated 2,000 clients through the public cloud services offered through CPA2Biz.
"Only those in the largest of member organizations would be able to consider a private cloud system," says Michael Cerami, vice president of corporate alliances at CPA2Biz. "Plus, we don't believe there are security advantages to a private cloud system.
"We've selected partners who operate highly secure public cloud environments. This allows us to provide our members with great collaborative tools that enable them to work proactively with their clients in real time."

"I wanna live in YOUR Texas!"
Roswell, Texas
Special to The Libertarian Enterprise
I have been interested in the Roswell, New Mexico UFO story since I first heard about it in the early 1970s while living in Waco, Texas (not in the mid-80s when some people try to say the story really started). Since I began life on Earth in the region of Roswell, New Mexico, it made more of an impression with me than it might have otherwise. Not to start any rumors, but it might explain some things....
Anyway, when I heard L. Neil was basing a tale on the event, I had to check it out. I didn't start reading it until a few months ago, but after I did, I kept waiting anxiously for each new installment. I became apprehensive when I realized the story was winding down and began to dread each new panel, fearing that it would be the last. My fears were realized last week when I got to the panel that said "The End".
I got a kick out of the historical figures who populated the alternate-universe Federated States of Texas. (Roswell is in Texas in this universe, which is not that much of a stretch; Texas was originally much larger until it got divided among many other current states. Even the part of Colorado I lived in was once part of Texas.) Scott Biesser's artwork is amazing, and perfectly complements the story written by L. Neil and Rex May. The only disappointment for me was that the story didn't incorporate as much of the original Roswell incident as I had expected. Once I got over that, though, I got drawn into the world presented and enjoyed it immensely.
If you enjoy graphic novels, or if you want an introduction to them, head over to Big Head Press and check out Roswell, Texas by L. Neil Smith and Scott Biesser. I think you will enjoy it.

MSNBC Anchor Tries to Understand Game of Thrones, a Show About Gnomes
[There was a video here]
On today's edition of Morning Joe—after the reports of Dr. Oz's public flaying put host/google-eyed health nut Mika Brzezinski into a state of semipermanent bliss—the team turned their attention to the hottest trend threatening teens today: Internet downloading. Specifically, the torrenting of popular gnome show Game Of Thrones.
As real-life superhero-looking motherfucker Thomas Roberts tries valiantly to explain even the most basic shit to his confused and less-beautiful elders, it's the confused howling of the shambling crepuscular horror known to mortals only as Nicolle Wallace—"I don't like dragons! Dragons!"—that really sells this little moment as the best of the morning.
In another hilarious "running gag," Joe Scarborough told a story almost one dozen times accusing Politico's Mike Allen—himself a well-known fantasy creature that subsists solely on bowls of milk left out by Washington elites—of trying to sell him vitamin supplements from a suitcase. The vitamin story remains uncorroborated at this time.
Morning After is a new home for television discussion online, brought to you by Gawker. Follow @GawkerMA and read more about it here.

libplasma provides the Theme class so Plasma elements and other applications, such as KRunner, that need to graphically hint or theme interface elements. This is not a replacement for QStyle, but rather provides standard elements for things such as box backgrounds.
This allows for easy re-theming of the desktop while also keeping elements on the desktop more consistent with each other.
See also Plasma widgets.
See also Creating a Plasma Theme.
Themes are stored in share/apps/desktoptheme. A theme is described by a .desktop file in share/apps/desktoptheme. The contents of which might look like this:
[Desktop Entry]
Comment=Theme done in the Oxygen style
X-KDE-PluginInfo-Author=The Oxygen Project firstname.lastname@example.com X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name=default X-KDE-PluginInfo-Version=pre0.1 X-KDE-PluginInfo-Website=http://plasma.kde.org X-KDE-PluginInfo-Category= X-KDE-PluginInfo-Depends= X-KDE-PluginInfo-License=GPL X-KDE-PluginInfo-EnabledByDefault=true
The X-KDE-PluginInfo-Name entry must contain the name of the subdirectory in share/apps/desktoptheme where the SVG files for this theme exist.
Beneath this directory one will find the following file structure:
Theme elements are accessed by path. Whether this maps to literal paths on disk or not is not guaranteed and considered an implementation detail of Plasma::Theme.
Therefore, to access the dialog background, one might create an svg in this manner:
Plasma::Theme theme;
QSvgRenderer svg(theme.image("dialog/background"));
It is generally recommended to use Plasma::Svg instead of QSvgRenderer directly, however. Remember to call resize() on the Plasma::Svg before painting with it!
Plasma::Svg svg("dialog/background");
If you use Plasma::Svg, changes to the theme are automatically picked up. Otherwise, you can connect to the changed() signal in the Plasma::Theme class. This signal is emitted whenever the theme is changed, which may be triggered by the user switching the theme used or system changes such as a composite manager becoming available.
All background svg's (except for desktop wallpapers) must have the following named elements, all of which will be painted at the native size (and can therefore be bitmaps), except for the center which will be scaled:
Additionally, the following elements can be used to control the rendering of the backgrounds:
Themes get installed to share/apps/desktoptheme. Each theme is stored in a subdirectory with the following file structure
In the folder share/apps/desktoptheme/opaque the same hierarchy can be found: when compositing is disabled files in this folder are preferred over the corresponding ones listed above. Only background for top level windows are appropriate to go in this folder.
Since top-level windows will be shaped according to the transparency of the svg and window shapes don't support alpha-blending, if the svg has rounded borders they should have a shape that don't require antialiasing, like the following example.

T D King needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 90 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
King Commercial Real Estate
I am a senior commercial estate executive and am starting my own firm. I have a diverse skill set including land acquisition, due diligence, financial analysis, project development, leasing, and marketing. King is my last name and I have 25 years of experience in the industry.
Users and owners of commercial real estate are my target audience. My objective is to market and network in a specific suburban area of a large city and become recognized as the industry expert in this modest sized community. I plan on representing tenants looking for space/buildings in retail, industrial, and office projects. I will also represent owners of buildings(retail,industrial,office) that need to lease their space. Additionally, I will put together development projects for users that need to build their own facilties that are designed for their specific use.
My needs are fairly simple. I would like to have a logo for my business designed for camera ready application. It will be used on my business cards, stationary, website, etc. The logo should emphasize my last name, King, and communicate strength and easy name recognition. I would like to work in "Commercial Real Estate" into the logo if stylistically compatible/symetrical. I favor the color blue.
