Searching for the perfect violet

The two main colours selected for the logo of my label are canary yellow and violet. After many revisions, we finally selected a yellow possessing depth without being too bright. The quest for the perfect violet was another story. My first point of reference was the Pantone book, familiar to graphic designers, artists and anyone in the printing industry.

After much frustration over trying out several 'violet' colours the infamous Pantone book had to offer, I decided a standard stock colour wasn't the way to go. After all this label represents the colours of the rainbow, the brilliance shining out from the sun, as if we would go with a standard colour! I was pointed in the direction of a brilliant website, my logo saviour =) The vast array of colours on offer was like a being a little girl in a lolly store, heaven! Check out www.colourlovers.com. I started off liking the first colour story below featuring the violet purple, then I came across the winner!

Kirribilli Street Art

Walking through the main shopping area in Kirribilli today shocked me as I saw the first piece of street art in the area! Perhaps Kirribilli is getting down with the artistic flow? Bring it on I say.

Date with Richard Branson!

Richard Branson is one of those people who ooze charisma. He's a self made billionaire constantly breaking boundaries challenging the status quo. I'm super excited to be attending the 'Ultimate Success Summit' being held over 2 days in September. Advanced success strategies will be shared directly from the world's leading entrepreneurs including the main man himself Sir Richard B. I've placed my tickets in a secret hiding place as they're worth gold to me, let hope I don't forget the location. I'm counting down the days until I'm in the same room as someone who believed in himself, overcame physical illness then went on to rock his world.

I'll follow up with a debrief of my learnings from the event. I'm sure there will be plenty!
