Evolution of the Boles Bells Brand Logo

When I decided to launch my newest online publication — David Boles Bells — I knew I wanted a logo that included a Kettlebell. Unfortunately, I am not a great digital artist, and so my first stop to find some design help was Adobe Stock. I found this logo that I really loved. I purchased a license, and then discovered I had no idea how to edit the image in Adobe Illustrator to personalize the logo to BolesBells.com. I did a little research to see if I could locate the artist who originally designed the logo I purchased to see if I could hire that artist to design a whole new logo for Boles Bells.

Dubya: How to Ruin an Initial

For most of my life I was known as “David Boles” or just “Boles” — because I would never answer to my first name alone because almost everyone I knew in school was also named “David.” A few years ago, I decided to add my middle initial to separate myself from at least 13 other David Boles people in the world — and the “David W. Boles” was born.

Grabbing and Pointing that Domain

Grabbing a good domain name is getting harder and harder as the pool of good .COM domain names thins in the raucous ether of everyone with an internet connection wanting a personalized website.

Not every domain name requires a website. In fact, grabbing a domain and then pointing it to an existing website can be an effective means to propagate the idea of your brand beyond a single thought.
