If image is everything then your company’s logo is its first impression.
Before any knowledge of the company has been acquired, perceptions have already been formulated based off of the logo.
Have a look at the logo below:

- What things come to mind?
- What adjectives did you think of: clean, conservative, tech-savvy, conventional, boring?
- What type of company do you think would use this logo?
- You likely wouldn’t assume this logo for a restaurant, but you might assume an automobile company.
What makes a good logo?

Overview
They say that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. In the case of the World Wide Web, the blind people are the ones stuck using a single Web browser, usually without even being aware that alternative browsers exist (or against their will, if they are aware that other browsers exist). This is not a slam against Microsoft’s Internet Explorer (which is installed by default on almost every computer running Windows); not at all. What I am saying is that sometimes you are stuck using a particular Web browser to browse the Web and get your work done online, and the particular site you are viewing “is best viewed in a browser other than the one you are using” because the person (or team) responsible for that particular Web site is either stuck in 1998, too lazy to code properly (or worse, doesn’t even know how to), or isn’t even aware that your browser exists in the first place (if the latter was the case, I am sure it would have been added to that site’s “browser sniffing” script once they became aware of it).
Now don’t get me wrong, most people are happy to use their computer’s default browser “just because it’s there” and “because it’s good enough for me” (my own brother included). As a Web developer, I respect the user’s choice, rather than forcing him or her to “Get Browser X” or “Download Browser Y” either out of greed (advertising revenue sharing) or ignorance that the browser doesn’t even exist. To kick off this article series, I’ll be covering one of these “oft-ignored” browsers: Opera. I’ll warn you now, this is a long article, and will be broken into two (possibly three) parts; I learned a lot more about Opera and what it can do “out of the box” than what even I thought was possible when I started researching the inner workings of this browser a month ago. (For the sake of Search-This’s readers, I solemnly swear to do my best to ensure that future articles are nowhere near as long.)
