ProPlanet Internet Solutions presents companies with uniform, visual expressions. A unique logo and consistent corporate identity is the quickest way, and most important building block, to achieving professionalism that breeds confidence among consumers and employees alike. Solutions include enhancing or de-emphasizing aspects of the company name; writing a tagline, and refining a writing style for collaterals and web sites. Helping companies find their "voice" means exploring humor, technical jargon as well as "folksy" language, in order to convey the proper feeling. Below are examples of a few logos that we have designed and evolved:
