THE ORIGIN OF THE LOGO—FROM 1100 AD TO 3-D TODAY

From 1100 A.D., the Viking “Ubsbrecht” logo on their swords. Today— 3-D logo’s and animation can be done very affordably to make your website POP!

One of the earliest known “logos” was by a Scandinavian craftsman who produced the"Ubsbrecht"—the first double-edged sword used by the Vikings (ouch! picture). Embossed across the length of the sword, it became a “brand” that the Vikings became associated with—plenty proof of that!

Today—with the advent of computers and software, graphic artists are able to do 3-D logos as well as animating them (pictured above).

You may see animated version of our logo at www.ondemandadvertisingsolutions.com.

Here’s a fun, history of the logo post from our friends at British Design Experts. Enjoy!

Million-Dollar $ecrets To Getting More Customers--Dick Ray, The Master Plumber

"In order to do it right--you'd have to get a backhoe and dig up a ten foot section of the front yard...remove the pipe and replace it with a new section. Or...you could hire a guy like me to do it. And I'm not cheap..." I'd come to know Dick Ray Jr. through handling his father's advertising account on our classical radio station back in the 80's. Owners of Shawnee Mission Plumbing, Heating & Cooling since the 50's--their quality service and reputation are unmatched by many competitors in the Kansas City market. Today, Dick Ray Jr. continues that quality since his parents passing years ago. What distinguished their advertising--was the familiar voice that intro'd all of their ads...."This is Dick Ray the master plumber..." In a casual midwestern drawl , he'd meticulously talk about his time in the Navy, the quality of products they carry--and the fact that nobody...BUT NOBODY has more parts on his truck, than Di...

This Is Content Marketing To The EXTREME!

By John D. Verlin According to Mike Gonzalez' article in the Wall Street Journal today--never have we seen a more blatant act of "content" marketing than what Obamacare is planning via the California Endowment (investing $130 million) in messages/commercials to convince Hispanics to sign up for the Affordable Care Act. Ever since Norman Lear's "socially-prominent" sitcoms of the '70's have we seen messaging content "woven" into story lines by the likes of Hollywood screen writers. Mr. Hernandez reports, This week saw fresh evidence of how worried ObamaCare supporters are: news of an effort to use Hollywood story lines to send a message to Hispanics that they should sign up. It's not the first time promoters of government programs have used TV and radio programming to win over the country's largest minority group. If ever there was a confluence of crony capitalism, big government, Hollywood, liberal media and the academy, t...

Dick Hawk, the owner of the Gaslight Grill in Overland Park, Kansas is an entrepreneur's entrepreneur. From owning a five-star luxury hotel in the Ozarks to an insurance company and now a beautiful restaurant--he's demonstrated how to do it right. The centerpiece of the restaurant is "Lyn Zimmer and the Jazz Band"--heard five nights a week at the Gaslight Grill's back room.

One of our afternoon personalities had enjoyed going to the Gaslight Grill and hearing the music. We ended up...
