skavhellen needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 19 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
We are looking for a new corporate signature for our company which should identify the company in a good manner, expressing our line of business in an elegant, innovative, conservative and timeless way. The starting point for the corporate signature is the logo. After we have decided the logo we want business cards and letter templates in Word, PowerPoint templates, Excel templates and a website template. The first task is to propose one or more logos and indicate or propose a complete consistent Corporate Signature Profile which in detail will be realized in the second phase of the project.
Morgan Dialog AS
Customer's line of business:
Corporate Finance and Project Development Advisory Services General Profile:
Elegant, innovative, conservative and timelessDescription:
Morgan Dialog AS is offering corporate finance advisory services focusing on building and implementing best practice Financial Models for valuation, Business and Project Development as well as Transaction Support services.
Our advisory services focus on analysis, planning and execution assistance for Management, Board of Directors or Investors on strategy, business valuation and development, project execution and as well as follow up evaluation of the process and its results.
Our aim is to support our clients with value added corporate finance services so that our clients better can make sound business decisions using tried and tested business modeling and execute their plans in a professional way.
We are using a logo today that is very simple. We like the design, but it's not in vector, so it has limited use when trying to bring it to a copy house. We think that the use of the in 3D may as well enhance the impact. The colour palette used so far has focused on shades of dark grey with the use of some colourful elements in presentation, homepage etc. See the logo here
We use Microsoft Office 2007 and understand that for instance it is possible to implement specific colour palettes that would ensure that the same colour scheme and order of colour in presentations, graphics etc. can be assured.
We are looking for the complete Corporate Signature profile package, but we believe in working it step by step. But the winner of the logo contest with realistic guidelines for the rest of the graphical profile, will very well also be the one we want to complete the full package.
The way we see it, we first agree on the logo and guidelines for use of colour palette. Then we decide on the graphical profile with business cards, envelopes and MS Office Templates (Word, PowerPoint and Excel as well as cover pages for presentations. And finally the new web homepage is added. We think that the text in the web page is easier to read when it is printed on a white or light shaded background, than in white on a very colourful background.
We are not looking for a screaming logo. We want to be classic, elegant, innovative, conservative and timeless. The colour palette may well be toned in grey/back The colour palette used so far has focused on shades of dark grey with the use of some colourful elements in presentation, homepage etc. We are fond of gray colours and dark gray / blue colours. Look here. or here
It's important that the whole company name: Morgan Dialog AS has an impact and get the attention elegantly as in bespoken tailoring. So far we have included the line of business, Investment And Project Consultants and Established 1986, in the logo to show what we do and that we have been doing this for some time.
- A logo that says Morgan Dialog AS and a variant with the subtext Investment And Project Consultants and Established 1986.
- Colours should be different shades of gray and/or maybe dark blue
- A Classic Firm look. Rather dull then screaming or fancy.
- A web 2.0 logo with shadows all over the place
- Logos in other colours then gray and/or dark blue
- Logos with money symbols

When school districts put parcel taxes before voters, an appellate court has ruled, the new levies should have complied with state law requiring equal treatment of business and residential properties.
While following the rules might seem basic — especially for educators — school districts and other local governments in California have been violating them for years. In December, a unanimous three-judge panel, in a case involving the Alameda Unified School District, said no longer.
However, the court granted the district's request to reconsider. If the decision stands, similar taxes in Davis, San Leandro, West Contra Costa and five Los Angeles County school districts could also be affected.
We think the appellate court's December ruling correctly applied current law. That doesn't mean the law is a good policy. Districts have legitimate reasons to tax business properties differently than residential. That's why lawmakers should rewrite the law for the future. But it's not fair to voters to apply the change retroactively.
The issue stems from Proposition 13, the 1978 property-tax cutting initiative, and Proposition 62, a 1986 initiative clarifying that new local government taxes must be voter-approved. To implement the two initiatives, the Legislature passed laws setting rules for new local taxes. Among the requirements, parcel taxes must "apply uniformly to all taxpayers or all real property within the district."
While the meaning of "uniformly" might seem obvious, school districts and other local governments have imposed their own definition. Parcel taxes they put before voters often set different rates for single-family residences, businesses and apartment buildings, or differentiate between developed and undeveloped parcels.
Walnut Creek attorney David Brillant challenged the Alameda school district's 2008 parcel tax, which imposes a $120 annual tax on residential parcels, and commercial and residential parcels less than 2,000 square feet. However, larger commercial and residential parcels are taxed at 15 cents per square foot up to $9,500 a year.
The three-judge panel ruled that the tax violated state law. However, rather than strike down the entire measure, it ordered a rollback for all parcels in the district to the $120 levy.
Because of a statute of limitations, the law doesn't allow Brillant to challenge all similar ballot measures. But the lawyer has filed timely lawsuits affecting the eight other districts.
Assemblyman Rob Bonta, D-Alameda, has introduced legislation, AB 59, that would change the rules to permit variable rates for different types of property. That allows for a more reasonable sharing of the tax burden. We endorsed the San Leandro and West Contra Costa measures in November.
Nevertheless, we object to Bonta's proposed retroactive application of the change. The affected districts should not be permitted to collect taxes that exceed what the law allowed when they were put on the ballot — especially because voters weren't advised of the legal problem.
Those districts should collect taxes at uniform levels and go back to voters for a change if Bonta's bill passes.
That's the fair solution.

New names on Hall of Fame ballot bring joy
The Hall of Fame voting for 2014 will result in great rejoicing throughout the land.
Actually, "great rejoicing throughout the land" may be something of a relative measurement there. I mean great rejoicing throughout the land relative to the reaction to the last Hall of Fame vote, which seemed to be a blend of anger and dismay.
The Hall of Fame voting for 2014 will result in great rejoicing throughout the land.
Actually, "great rejoicing throughout the land" may be something of a relative measurement there. I mean great rejoicing throughout the land relative to the reaction to the last Hall of Fame vote, which seemed to be a blend of anger and dismay.
A Hall of Fame vote without any winners is a letdown for not only the unsuccessful candidates but for their legions of fans. And the fact that no candidate for the 2013 Hall class received the necessary 75 percent of the vote served only to exacerbate the debate over the standing of the candidates who had been connected to the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
What is typically a celebration of individual greatness within the grand old game devolved into an argument that has no specific end date.
But this new balloting is going to be different, not to mention happier.
We have at least three brand new candidates whose merits are widely acknowledged not to mention admired and acclaimed. Their names have never been associated with even a hint of scandal. They are Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas.
These are careers that are clearly significant enough to deserve that hallowed Cooperstown ground of first-ballot election. I don't pretend to speak for any other voters -- what sort of character would even try to speak for 500-plus baseball writers? But these three people -- Maddux, Glavine, Thomas -- have my votes immediately.
Remembering always that the National Baseball Hall of Fame is the most difficult club to join in all of North American professional sports, there are other likely candidates, worthy candidates, splendid candidates. A lot of them. Too many of them, perhaps, when the individual voter can vote for a maximum of 10.
This is the dynamic that has been set in motion: The eligible voting members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America guard the doors to the Hall like a bunch of Rottweilers whose lunches are late. The voters are prowling the property and they are trained to be anti-trespasser.
The operative concept for the writers in this exercise is: When in doubt, the vote is no. This is why the vast, vast majority of the baseball public's arguments with the writers' votes are on the topic of exclusion, not inclusion.
How could you not vote for this guy, he was one of the greatest players ever? That is the standard complaint. But there are variations, such as that in the case of one outfielder, which comes down to how could you not vote for this guy, he is one of the nicest people in the world? I know, I know. But this, unfortunately, is not about that.
Fans want players they pulled for to get that final validation, that singular honor that will elevate those players above the rest of humanity for the rest of time. It's a completely natural outlook. But each writer basically doesn't want to be accused of being somebody with standards that were too soft. That's a normal enough reaction for somebody in this business, too.
But this will be a better year to be a fan, because there will be Hall of Fame candidacies turning into Hall of Fame inductions. And in other cases, there will be progress made toward that goal.
On last year's ballot, Craig Biggio was the leading vote-getter with 68.2 percent of the vote. That was Biggio's first year on the ballot, and when a player does that well in his first ballot his election is typically a matter of when, not if. I don't understand why he couldn't have been elected last year.
Jack Morris, at the other end of the spectrum as far as time on the ballot, drew 67.7 percent. Now, in this 15th and final season on the writers' ballot, Morris is at the voting crossroads. His candidacy, more than even most, is in part an argument between career numbers and a more subjective sense of the game, which comes down to something like "I saw him on this day and that day and another day when he pitched the most important games in the world and he was always great."
Jeff Bagwell had 59.6 percent of the votes. Mike Piazza had 57.8. Tim Raines had 52.2 percent. These people are not only being considered, they are being accepted by a majority of the voters as Hall of Famers. Their long-term chances for induction are thus much more than mere hopes.
In addition there are first-time appearances on the ballot by Mike Mussina and Jeff Kent. Both careers demand, at the very least, serious consideration from Hall voters.
I apologize profusely for all the names that weren't mentioned here. I suppose that in a subsequent column I could list all of the names in alphabetical order with separate apologies for each.
But you get the overall picture. It won't all be roses. Some of it will be PED arguments. Still, with this much individual greatness on hand, this is a promising election; for the Hall of Fame, for some tremendous careers, and for the people who care about baseball.

Get the Cevapi, Not the Burek, at Burektore Illyria in Bensonhurst
We eat (and love) a lot more than sandwiches at Serious Eats, so in the spirit of A Sandwich a Day, here's Eat This Now, a quick look at food worth sharing. —The Mgmt.
Note: This venue is now closed.
The saving grace of middling burek is some solid grilled meat. While I wouldn't call the Balkan pies at Bensonhurst's Burektore Illyria bad by any means, I'm not in any rush to go back for them. But I would return for the cevapi ($7 for five, $12 for ten), especially as an appetizer for pizza at near-ish by L & B.
You can think of cevapi as a cross between kebab and sausage. It's usually made from beef and is relatively finely ground; it boasts a sausage-y bounciness, too. But there's no skin, and the meat is fresh, not cured or pre-salted. I've mostly seen the stubby fingers available in orders of five or ten, which is a little creepy if you think about it too much, so don't.
The best cevapi taste simply of beef, loads of garlic, and the smoky char of a grill. Illyria's succeed on all counts, juicy but not too fatty, with a balance of beef and garlic flavors. They come with cucumber, tomato, fresh onion, and ajvar, a creamy roasted red pepper paste that's a little pungent, a little sweet, and a little hot. Stuff your favorite components into some of the shop's fresh bread and you have the makings of a very fine south Brooklyn sandwich.

A 20-year-old man was arrested after he repeatedly harassed a woman, made a lewd comment and then came onto her property and looked in her windows, according to the Palo Alto Police Department.
Carlos Alfredo Bejinez, an East Palo Alto resident, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of peeping and driving with a suspended license, both misdemeanors, as well as felony probation violation, police said.
At about 5:20 p.m. Thursday, officers received a call from a resident in the 1100 block of Channing Avenue reporting a suspicious person, according to police.
By the time officers arrived, the suspect had already left.
The victim, a woman in her 20s, told police she had been cleaning out her car in her driveway when the suspect walked up to her, identified himself as a tree-trimmer and offered his services.
She declined and encouraged him to speak with her landlord, but the suspect followed her down the driveway and claimed there was a dangerous tree on her property that needed to be trimmed, according to police.
When she again instructed the man to talk to her landlord, he left, police said.
A few minutes later, however, the man returned to her driveway and again tried to engage the woman in conversation, this time asking her age and telling her that she was dressed provocatively, according to police.
The woman went inside her home to get away from the man, and the suspect left but once again came back a short time later.
This time, he knocked on her door and peered inside her residence through the windows when no one answered, according to police.
He left but still returned again, and when the woman's nanny answered the door, the man made a lewd comment directed at the victim, police said.
The nanny asked the suspect to leave, which he did, and the victim called the police.
The man had left a business car with the victim upon their initial contact, and an officer called the suspect, posing as someone who was interested in a tree-trimming estimate.
The officer asked the man to meet him in the 1000 block of Channing Avenue. At about 5:53 p.m., officers observed the suspect drive up to the area in a white 1993 Ford Ranger pick-up truck, and placed him under arrest.
Anyone with information about this incident or suspect is asked to call the Police Department's 24-hour dispatch center at (650) 329-2413.

Whiskey, an authentic pleasure to enjoy
Because a drinking glass of a good whiskey always leave a mark. Not in vain the whiskey is also known as "the water of gods". Flavor and aroma have always escort to a mythical drink and sorrounded of leyends.
You've seen an infinity of characters at films enjoying of their whiskey "on the rocks" or in their prefered cocktail and all of them can't be wrong. Furthermore, the whiskey is a drink that tastes better as much as you try diferent classes and brands and you learn to differenciate its flavors and shades.
Composition of Whiskey
The whiskey is achieved mixing water with barley that is malted. After that, it's destilled and it ferments during two years at least, getting old and getting its differents shades according the wood of the cask that contains it.
There are some differents classes of whiskey:
And fusioned with cinnamon or with honey.
Flavor of Whiskey
The flavor of the whiskey is rich in shades. Probably it's the spirit drink that stimulate more the smell. In general is a drink with warm cutting, thought to be tasted alone, with water or "on the rocks" –only with ice-. But it's also popular its mixes with cola soda, ginger-ale or Seven Up.
Cocktails of Whisky
In the wide variety of cocktails that we can find, we highlight these ones:
- - Manhattan
- - Old Fashioned
- - Rob Roy
- - Irish Cofee
Manufacturers of Whisky
- - Johnnie Walker

- - Haig Club
- - Talisker

Curiosities of the Whisky
It's not clear if chineses or celts were who discovered the whiskey in XIII century. What it's sure is that it's guaranted that, in gaelic, whiskey is named as "Uisge Beatha" that can be translated as "Water of life". We can't find a better definition ;)

Another season, another trip to face the AFC South winners, holders of the #1 overall seed in the AFC. Can the Ravens repeat the huge upset they pulled last year in Nashville against the Titans? Methinks yes. Let's look at the reasons why…
1. The Colts' regular season dominance will again hurt them in the postseason
The Colts won more games than any other team 00's. However, as of right now there are two teams who have won more Lombardi Trophies than they did (Pats, Steelers) and three others who have won just as many (Ravens, Buccaneers, Giants). All their regular season victories have not translated into January and February success. In fact, at times they have been so dominant during the regular season that they have locked up the #1 seed early enough that their last game or two has been meaningless. Every time that such a scenario has played out so far, they have lost their first playoff game. That's right; Peyton Manning and his Colts are 0-3 in the Divisional Round during years in which they had a bye during the Wild Card round. Their only Super Bowl win came in 2006, when they were forced to play a Wild Card game.
This year, the Colts wrapped up the AFC's #1 seed on December 13th (Week 14). They then played to win one more time, four days later in Jacksonville. They did this only to set the record for most consecutive regular season wins (Edit – they had already broken this record the previous week. So, Bill Polian is not only a shithead, but he can't count either). Since then, they have played a game "in anger" exactly zero times. They took their starters out in Week 16 against the New York Jets, and promptly lost any chance at an undefeated season they may have had (more on that later), and laid a stinker in Buffalo in Week 17, finishing up at 14-2. Tack on last week's bye, and it will have been one day short of a full month since the Colts last tried to win a football game.
The Ravens, on the other hand, have been fighting for their Playoff lives all season. Under intense pressure to win, they came out on top in three of their last four in the regular season and then pounded Tom Brady and the Patriots in the Wild Card round. If not for a few costly drops in Pittsburgh in Week 16, the good guys in purple would be riding a nice little five game winning streak.
It will take the Colts at least a quarter to get re-acclimated to game speed, and part of me believes they will not be able to match the Ravens' intensity at any point during the 60 minutes. If the Ravens can start fast like they did in New England (not necessarily 24-0, but 10-0 or 14-0), the thought of "here we go again" will force itself into the Indy psyche.
2. Ray Rice, Willis McGahee, and Le'Ron McClain
The Colts were 24th in the NFL stopping the run, allowing 126.5 yards per game. Sure, these three managed only 100 yards combined in the Week 11 meeting, but that was back when the Ravens still had no offensive identity. Now that they are fully committed to being a pound-it-down-your-throat running team, they should have much less trouble pushing around the Colts' undersized front seven. In four of the last five games, one of the Ravens' rushers has topped the century mark – Ray Rice three times (166 vs. Det, 141 @ Pit, 159 @ NE) and Willis McGahee once (167 @ Oak).
The formula for success against Peyton Manning is the same as it's been pretty much his entire career – keep him off the field as much as possible, and when he is on it, move him off his "spot."
The Ravens' running game will go a long way to fulfilling the first ingredient in that recipe. As far as the other…
3. The return of the Ravens' pass rush
There is no denying that the Ravens have had trouble getting to the quarterback at times this season. However, over the last several games, they seem to have figured things out a bit.
In Week 16, they sacked Ben Roethlisberger four times – 3.5 came from defensive linemen
In Week 17, they sacked Jamarcus Russell three times and caused him to fumble once – all 3 were from defensive linemen
Last week, they sacked Tom Brady three times and caused him to fumble once – Two of 3 were from defensive linemen
So, not only are the Ravens now getting to quarterbacks, they are doing it without being forced to blitz the house. This latter point is huge against Peyton Manning, who eats blitzes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Peyton Manning BEGS you to blitz him. If the Ravens can pressure him, get his feet all nice and happy, and move him off of his spot, he will become very average very quickly.
Guys like Dwan Edwards, Kelly Gregg, Haloti Ngata, Terrell Suggs, and Antwan Barnes, who have picked up their games recently, need to keep it up Saturday night at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Throw in the occasional well-timed blitz by Ray Lewis (who is much better served rushing the passer than say, trying to keep up with Dallas Clark in the middle of the field), and hopefully the Ravens will be making Peyton very familiar with the turf.
3(b). The Ravens' Secondary
This point goes hand-in-hand with the last one. Since the Ravens' front has been getting to passers, their formerly dreadful secondary has suddenly come alive. Dominique Foxworth has started to live up to his huge free agent contract over the last month or so. Chris Carr, filling in for the injured Lardarius Webb, has improved every single game since becoming a starting CB. Hell, even Frank Freakin' Walker was making plays last week in New England. When Walker is batting down passes, instead of having flags heaved in his direction, you know things are going well.
The Ravens picked off Manning twice in Baltimore in Week 11. They won't have the advantage of crowd noise that they enjoyed in Charm City, but the play of the aforementioned guys, along with Dawan Landry, has improved dramatically since even that mid-season contest. If they continue their strong play, that should more than make up for the fact that Manning will be operating in his cozy home confines.
4. Michael Oher and Jared Gaither
These two won our "Play Like a Raven" award in Week 11, as they kept the Colts' fearsome twosome of Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis completely shutout of the stat sheet. We all know from those investment commercials that past success is no indicator of future performance and all that, but it's good that the Ravens' young tackles will have some confidence going up against such an intimidating opponent.
Freeney, who said at the end of "The Blind Side" (book, not movie), "You tell Michael Oher I'll be waiting for him," will have another chance to back up those words.
Unfortunately, as far as the Ravens are concerned, he may have a much higher number of chances than he did in the previous meeting.
Freeney usually lines up on to the quarterback's left (the "Blind Side," naturally), while Michael Oher has spent the majority of his rookie season playing right tackle. However, Jared Gaither's status for Saturday is still up in the air. If Gaither cannot go, Oher would again move to the left side. What happens on the right side would then also be undetermined – the Ravens could put Oneil Cousins at right tackle OR move Marshal Yanda from right guard to right tackle, and reinsert Chris Chester at right guard.
Gaither did fully practice on Thursday, but would not talk to reporters about his injury. Cross your fingers that he is able to go.
And now, for some silly reasons:
5. Karma
The Colts' brass' decision to forego the chance at a perfect season really sucks. It sucks for their players. It sucks for their fans. It sucks for fans of football in general. It sucks for anybody who gets sick of seeing that old curmudgeon Mercury Morris vindicated every damn year. It just…really sucks.
The Colts' players were visibly distraught on the sidelines in Week 16 after the starters had been removed. Watching their chance at history go up in flames obviously did not sit well.
Understandably so.
Imagine being Peyton Manning. You're constantly compared with Tom Brady. You hear all the time how the two of you are 1-2, in some order, among quarterbacks of this generation. Those that argue for Brady point to his postseason success as the deciding factor. Tom Brady was two minutes from posting a historic 19-0 season. He failed.
Now, you have the chance to be the one that goes 19-0. If you can win your second Lombardi Trophy, and go 19-0 in the process, something ol' Tommy was unable to do, you'll win. YOU will be the one that did what Tom could not. YOU will now be the undisputed best.
And then Bill Polian goes and takes all that out from under you.
How would you feel if you were Peyton? Deflated, I'd say, to put it mildly.
The other 44 guys wearing horseshoes on their helmets Saturday might not be dejected to quite that level, but they'll still be a bit less motivated, to one degree or another, than they would have been had they finished the regular season 16-0.
Aside from that, the Colts NEED to lose at some point this postseason for the sake of football fans everywhere. If they win the Super Bowl, after deciding to rest their players and not try for 19-0, it will deprive us of the chance to see any team try to be perfect in the future. The Colts CANNOT be allowed to set the precedent that resting your players, even with the perfect season on the line, is the way to go, or other teams will surely follow.
Roger Goodell says there is "no solution" to teams resting starters. Yes there is: BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THOSE TEAMS. Prove, time and time again, that you cannot just turn the competitive edge on and off like a light switch.
SOMEONE needs to beat the Colts this January, for football fans everywhere. Might as well be the Ravens.
Oh, and of course there's those whole stole-our-team then knocked-us-out-of-the-playoffs-in-2006 karma that needs to be repaid.
6. Nestminder in da house
Finally, the Ravens will win because I'm going to my first postseason road game. I'm ridiculously pumped to go to Indy, and judging by the fact that I had to book my flight out of Dulles, due to all Baltimore-Indianapolis flights being booked, I am very eager to see just how well the purple is represented in the Midwest.
I'll be at the WNST pre-game tailgate party at the Rock Lobster, and if you're in Indy, you should be to. Hope to see you there.
I'll have plenty of pictures, and hopefully some videos, of the trip next week. Hopefully (come on, come on, COME ON) they will be celebratory in nature.

The via ferrata in the dolomites are protected climbing paths, a perfect opportunity for all hikers for live a unique experience in the big walls of the dolomite mountains.
Don't worry, the via ferrata of the dolomites are protected climbing paths in total safety, are pure fun and free adrenaline for a unforgettable holiday in the dolomite mountains.
Every trekker can climb a via ferrata in the dolomites, from 8 year old (ergonomic reason) to 80 years old (in good health shape).
The history of the via ferratas in the dolomites began during the first world war, today we have about 600 via ferrata in the dolomite territory and it surroundings.
"Via Ferrata" in the dolomites dialet means: "iron road" because a via ferrata is a climbing protected path, with iron cables and iron steps or ladders, along the natural conformations of the dolomites walls.
The shorter via ferrata is only 190 meters of vertical gain, the longer is 1200 meters or more. In the dolomites you find from easy and short to longer and difficult via ferrata, one solution for every person!

Ok, so these are the LBD looks I did for a exam at university, along with other small projects; I figured it was nice to share with you and see what you think. Which one do you think it suits me best? I know for sure you won't ever see me in a office look too soon (hopefully never).
Oh and the exam went very well ^^
One more to go and I am free!
