The barriers have been lifted. We can now work “real time” with people around the world, assisting and serving from thousands of miles away in a flash. What is commonly not considered is the fact that though we are working closely together, we may have vastly different views of the world, various business practices and languages. This can be a mixed blessing and can lead to disaster on many fronts.

You may have to alter your perception of your own language, understanding that though you use a specific version of English, for example, your colleague or client may be perfectly correct in their methods of writing and speaking in their own culture. Before criticizing someone, especially publicly as I have seen done so many times, check your facts – the other person may be correct.

A logo should be thought of as a living design. As times and styles change, the logo design should keep up.
