ANM 1.5 - A New Look

Subscribe to the RSS feed?Oh heck yes. Well played sir/ma'am, well played.

Welcome to the new look of ANM version 1.5

Why 1.5 and not 2.0? This update was purely cosmetic. I’m still running Wordpress with a modified version of K2. The feed (which you can subscribe to here) is still through Feedburner. So nothing is different under the hood.

What is new is the logo, color set, tag line, and overall feel.

In the logo, you’ll notice the old circle has been replaced with the Enso, a traditional symbol of Zen Buddhism. The Enso represents enlightenment, strength, elegance and is considered “an expression of the moment.” All things that, to me, represent good marketing.

The new color scheme is more focused. I think it’s cleaner and calmer, yet has some good energy to it.

The new tag line simple. clear. honest. creative. marketing. is a great fit for me. It really outlines what this blog is about in 5 words, and while it might not be the best from a SEO standpoint, I think it represents this blog well.

But what really matters is what you think. How do you like the new design? It’s certainly a work in progress and I’d appreciate any feedback so I can continue to try improve ANM.

    Hello Matt:

    It’s a nice design. I really liked the last logo. However, once you keep your content standards (as I’m sure you will) I’ll certainly continue to stop by.
