If it looks like a duck and it walks like a duck . . .
hmmmmm, I'm fairly certain most people can finish this statement without really thinking about it. But we don't really consider HOW we know how to finish this sentence.  We just know that, "If it looks like a duck and it walks like a duck then it must be a duck!"  Someone might have said it to us once, maybe twice, but it stuck because it made total sense.

This is a great illustration of what your marketing and design should achieve. You should strive to ensure your marketing:
     - is intuitive
     - makes sense
     - the graphics should enhance the message and visa versa

Ideally you want the person looking at your logo or website or brochure, even your biz cards, to say, "Of course, what else would it be? This makes perfect sense." 

Here are a couple of grade school examples to drive the point home:
     - RubberDuck2It wouldn't be very intuitive for a company named Yellow Duck Graphics to create a logo with pastel pink duck.
     - Sunny Day Kids Kamp would surely have more luck attracting clients with bright primary colors like yellow, red, green and blue vs staid and stodgy colors like navy, gray and taupe
     - The HE men of, The Real Man's Iron Gym, would suffer a serious disconnect if the font on the outdoor sign was a frilly pink script. 

These examples might seem a little goofy but it's amazing what you get in your mail box these days! 

Good marketing, communications and design are the product of a methodology and process that answer some fundamental questions to discover everything from basic demographics to what influences purchase, how they purchase, when they purchase, etc., etc., etc.

If you're looking for that "Aha!" of a great communications piece you know who to call. ; )
