It sounds more in tune with the productivity theme and Persistence Unlimited is mouthful and a lot to type! And persistence isn't necessary tied into productivity. I prefer “Achieve It”.

The light bulb is a cool idea. Perhaps you could write a new post about what Persistence Unlimited means, and tie it into the new theme/name change? Very nicely done Brad.

That is where the browser is trying to display a text link that says "Achieve-IT!". Even though the CSS is hiding the text, it's still there. When you hover your mouse over the invisible text link, the CSS is telling the browser to show the underline for the hyperlink. Personally, I think that having the logo clickable is a good thing. How to fix it: To keep the logo so that you go the home page when it is clicked, you need to change the height in the following line from h1 a { display: block; width: 573px; height: 123px; border: none; } to h1 a { display: block; width: 573px; height: 215px; border: none; } The blue bar still shows up, but since it's the same color as the background for your top navigation, no one will see it. There are probably several solutions to the problem, but I like this one best myself. Brad – Here is what is happening.

If you hover your mouse on the top 1/2 of the logo a line appears cutting it in half. If you click, it takes you to the homepage. How do I expand that link? I've combed the stylesheet with no luck so far. -Thanks! CSS experts, can anyone give me a hint as to how to adjust the link on the logo?

As someone who isn't all that visually gifted, decisions like this are tough. I'm glad it is appealing so far. Thanks for the words of encouragement!

It coordinates very well with the existing colors and look of your site. Rarely does something changing a logo after a site design not look obviously like an after-thought.

Fri, 15 Feb 2008 20:03:46 +0000 http://www.persistenceunlimited.com/2008/02/new-logo-and-site-consistency-initiative/#comment-26839 Brad, Cool new look! I think you will be well served by the name change in the long run. If your URL or blog title was more of a tag line, the inconsistency would not be a problem. But they both sound like a brand and that's confusing. I've been trying to do a similar thing with my 'Go-To Guy!' brand over the past year as well. Good luck with the change, Andrew Seltz The Go-To Guy! www.GoToGuyEnterprises.com Brad,
