I have seen countless goons just like yourself that believed their ideas > everyone elses; none of those fuckers have done anything more than bar gigs and house parties. So, if you want to keep calling me a douche bag because I disagree with you, go ahead. You sound like a fucking child and seem to have the writing skills to match. |

Lessie Becoats 17.07.2012 | Yeah I talked to see what the guy could do and asked for a preview of his work, but I didn't like how he handled business. He posted that without my permission |
Noriko Lebowitz 17.07.2012 | http://community .djranking s.com/showthread.php?t=55021 check this out. Strange, he has one that says Fressure already. |

There's a saying I learned a long time ago and it taught me that you should learn from other peoples mistakes, because you'll never live long enough to make all of your own, and I stand behind that. I've learned so much from people who volunteered their time and effort to help me, despite the fact that I didn't know them or didn't understand why they would want to help me. Some of them told me that they once found themselves in the same position, and the greatest lesson they ever learned was that they should pay it forward, so that's what i'm doing...Paying it forward in the hopes that the OP will pay it forward to someone else...Even if it has caused me some grief in putting up with the naysayers, I feel like I've made my contribution and the end justifies the means. The OP and I have had some correspondence in PM and I'm going to forward a document of bullet points that I've jotted down from every study and report that I've ever read in the hopes that it'll help him, and that maybe he'll find it within himself to pay it forward if he's in a position to do so. No matter what the naysayers say, I can't help but stand behind this philosophy because I've received so much help and generosity from strangers that have helped me get to where I am, that it would almost be ignorant to not return the favour to someone else. Why DJMattBlaze has it in for me, will always be puzzling, but I can't say that it'll stop me from trying to share what I know in the hopes that someone out there will find it useful. Sharing what I can is all that I have to offer, so I'm going to do it as much as I can in the hopes that someone else can benefit from it. That being said, if anyone out there is reading this and is interested in the aforementioned "document" feel free to PM me and send me your email, and I'll be more than happy to share. It may not be your "golden ticket" but if you're curious and interested, then I have absolutely no problem taking 30 seconds to email it to you. *Edit* case in point: a while back someone posted a thread about how they needed a playlist for a wedding (I believe he was looking for an entire MP3 library). I posted about how I could share my entire playlist in excel format, and while the OP wasn't interested, I've received countless PM's from people interested in obtaining said "excel spreadsheet", and I've been more than happy to oblige because I've been in that position where I was just starting out and often got lost as to which tracks to download next. |

My original DJ name was DJ Grooveey and I started believeing that having to explain the 2 "E's" and a "Y" was going to cause problems, besides not really feeling the name and feeling that something incorporating my first name was better for me. |
Mikki Retana 09.07.2012 | Also, if anyone in the NY/NJ area is in need of logo design, an Electronic Press Kit, or professional photography, PM me. I have designed logos for a shit ton of DJ/producers in the NYC scene. I just finished a press kit for a Pacha resident DJ (Huge Euge) and my associate and I do pro level photography in case you are in need of headshots/ press photos/ EPK filler. |
Mikki Retana 09.07.2012 | I really havent read through this thread... but Fressure sounds WAY TOO SIMILAR to fissure. When I believe of fissure, i believe of anal fissure, which leads me to believe of assholes that bleed. I just threw it by a couple DJ buddies and they all immidiately thought of fissure as well... something you should certainly believe about man. Ill tell ya, your name holds more clout than most realize. Not only that, but, direct word relations to your name matter as well IMO. I know a produer who went by Dookz (hip hop guy) and after a while realized Dookz sounded too much like deuce, or dookie, and rethought his entire approach to a name. Since the name change, his career has really taken off, and I certainly feel that mad people looked at his "stage name," thought of poop and never hit him back. I went through a ton of names before I found one that: A) I like very much B) Sounds catchy C) Fits my personality and playing style. I go by empYre. The uppercase Y in my logo is a font that makes it look like an i with two arms in the air (a fan with their arms up). I also used the phrase "join the empYre" a lot initially; one of my first remixes (before becoming empyre) featured an emperor palpatine (Star wars) intro and someone mentioned calling myself the emperor. I hated that name, but, did some believeing and voila, empYre it was. My twitter handle is @jointheempyre and i have receieved generally good input from different individuals pertaining to my logo. Here is a copy of my logo... 577657_348707935188706_1050626887_n.jpeg |

I am not arguing against anything you're saying about having a business model or the implementation of a business model. The guy just asked everyone's opinion about a logo...thats it.
Again don't get me wrong, I am not arguing your points about having a business model, business strategy, setting goals, implementing them, running the business. It wasn't about that. It was about...do ya like my logo ideas....
I'm not credible? I have 7 years of corporate marketing and read dozens of books and/or reports and/or data on usability statistics, eye-tracking studies, etc. etc. What makes you credible? One look at your site and the answer is "Nothing". You have no credentials, and don't even have a keen eye. With a site like yours, you shouldn't be anywhere near a discussion about marketing collateral because you've committed all of the cardinal sins in design, layout, usability, etc. etc. Last time, attacking your site was a low blow, but in this discussion its totally relevant, especially since we're talking about design and you're claiming to have a relevant opinion in that realm, but your site would prove otherwise. What's with the twinkling stars in your background?! Even someone with half a brain would know how amateur that looks. And that's the best template you could find?! If there's one thing I know better than anything else, it's Marketing.
YOU, not me turned a simple question about which logo do you guys believe is good into your agenda about marketing and business models which I never claimed to know about or even commented on except to say the guy asked about a logo. Instead of having a healthy debate and discussion about logos, and why a company has a certain logo and what not, you took it personally, you got defensive, you resort to name calling, bashing, riidiculing, trashing and what some would consider just bullying. It seems that whenever you feel challenged or someone comments on something you said and isn't in agreement with you, you can't seem to respond without getting defensive and start the bashing and name calling. I haven't done any of those things directed at you or anyone and the evidence is in the posts, what I said, and what you said. Even when I said "c'mon bro" which was a sentiment to say, hey we're all on the same team trying to help, though we may have differing ways, opinions etc. the first thing you said was "Im not your bro", thats totally defensive and sets the arguementative tone. You gave the OP something more to believe about that he hadn't thought about before...bravo to you. I never questioned your experience or credentials and you do seem to know what you are talking about for the most part when it comes to marketing and branding etc. But ya know how you can see a really really hot girl from across the room and she is just so incredibly hot until she opens her mouth.....equate that to what I said about you losing credibility.....Its not always about what you say, its how you go about saying it... |
Lessie Becoats 09.07.2012 | See where token is coming from. Dont just slap stuff together when doing this. Because doing so will actually make you look very unprofessional. If stuff like say a website looks like a 10 year olds geocities site then you pretty much aitomatically lose credibility. I would trust a business that has just random shit on a website just to have it. |
Darren Teboe 09.07.2012 | Speaking of that's where you lost, "That's When Ya Lost"... |

If there's one thing I know better than anything else, it's Marketing. You seem to believe that him saying you get him is a victory, and yet the only one that has been asked for additional insight is me...Not to mention I got a PM with the OP saying he likes my advice, and i'm going to continue to offer more insight in the hopes that he can avoid some of the mistakes that I myself have made. If that offends you, then get over it...Bro. It's helping someone no matter how much you want to resist. Do I like the logos? They're ok. Compared to your site all 6 of them make your site look like something those logos crapped out. You need to swallow your pride and listen to someone who knows what they're talking about. I'm not saying I'm the worlds leading expert in marketing, but nobody in this thread has volunteered as much insight into how to create a logo the right way, as I have...And for the most part, it seems to be resonating with the OP. I couldn't care less what you believe, except that it's annoying that you pretend to have some significant role or opinion in this discussion. If I've provided some insight to the OP (or any lurkers), and kept him from making some mistakes, then I've done what I set out to do. Although I still have no idea why my advice bothers you. I offered the same advice to you, and instead of taking it you came in here and lashed out against it. So it's confusing to say the least... |
Lessie Becoats 09.07.2012 | This topic became something I wasn't expecting this is all very informative with all the different points of view. Lets keep the discussion going I say. |
Roseanna Signorini 09.07.2012 |
Seriously dude you can just STFU now...It's unfortunate you got offended by me trying to share some wisdom...But what are you going to do for an encore? Offer to create his website? I hate to keep bringing that up, but you really don't have any credibility in commenting on how to create a tasteful and effective marketing initiative, so seriously, just STFU BRO.
it seems to me and probably to everyone else who has read every one of your long winded diatribes that you seem to have a problem handling having a discussion, and or debate. I didn't have to write a novel of posts for the OP, Fressure, to say "Matt gets why I'm doing this". This is now the 2nd time in a thread where you feel the need to personally attack me, and act like an immature 7yo who isn't getting their way. Again, 2nd time you stooped down to that level, when I have done as I always do, stay to the topic in the thread and comment on it. Get a grip....and like the last time, you just lost all credibility....Did you like any of the logos....yes or no? |
