Site, Logo, Business Cards, and Brochures (Review Please)

It never fails to fascinate me on here how some people ask for critiques and get screeds of really good input on their website/logo/brochure/business card, and then.... do absolutely nothing to change it, or just pick out a few aspects they 'think' would improve it.

I really find this incredibly interesting. You dont have to lok far to find heaps of threads where its been total consensus of the community saying "your logo sucks" only to find 6 or 12 months down the track, the member is still running with advertising copy that would scre more people off than it would attract.

I guess what Im saying is, you're not alone in getting 'stuck' on a particular concept - its probably more common than not. The difference is that you are actually listening to what people are telling you and doing something about it.

I'm keeping a similar concept as well as the dinosaur. I'm just getting it done better is all. Let's hope i get some quality designs.
 
Does nobody read or care about them or does no one care about yours? Brochures are typically a good read when your sitting down in an office or store waiting. I see people pick them up and read them all the time.

I honestly can't think of the last time I read a brochure, and it was only after I had the brochures that I thought about this. Sometimes people will pick them up off our counters, glance through them and put them back, rarely do people take them home.

Maybe this is true. But presentation is important and even if they don't take them home; it still caught their attention. Shows that you went the extra mile. They are cheap and you won't need to print too many.. maybe 150-250. Didn't take much time to whip up in photoshop either. Yah know?

When I consider how many times a brochure would have been a deal maker or breaker, I wouldn't do it again. For the 4-8 hours I spent writing content and designing it I'd have been better off doing something that was directly revenue generating.

I don't think I would have lost a single client with the lack of a brochure, and I don't think a single client has chosen us because of our brochure.
 
I reverted back to the t-rex being somewhat aggressive; but instead this time I'm running with a newer, sleeker, more professional concept. I can make this work! The apprehension is killing me, can't wait.
 
Of course waiting for things like this to get done is like having kids. You're all excited for them to come, then you realize all the work you have ahead of you.
