Like the banana spit idea. Create your on banana split. Through all kinds of fruit and color on it then call it your own split.

It is like being a pms color vs. a cymk color. Cymk can change, but a pms is always the pms.

This will get me through that past several days of vanilla design by committee and am sharing this will a creative networking group.

Thanks Candy. I am currently re-evaluating my whole site, whole image, whole everything so thanks for the suggestion!
Cheers Bobby – and you don’t need to make even more noise to stand out – just by being different will do it! Thanks for your comment!

In Life we’ve all gone through situations where the world has judged us on appearance,color,speaking skills etc.
As much as One tried to get the ‘real me’ across we failed because we were ‘beige’ and so rightly put by you plain Vanilla. Stand out in this blaring Media Noise..or be forever… not heard. Good Writing!!

John I agree you are not vanilla – when I used to work for a hospital we had to these vanilla strawberry chocolate personality tests. Thank goodness I was strawberry (and not just cause my hair is red!).

One thing I would say about the site, is I think you should incorporate some of the killer logos you designed on the home page. When you so generously offered to help me I had to dig a bit to see the logos & when I saw them I totally wanted to work with you. Just an insight. Talk soon, Candy

Hey Julie – Thanks for your additional ice cream thoughts…
Kim – you rock! I really appreciate it…
Cheers Dr. Jim. I’m sure I could spice things up but to keep with the food analogy, why add some pepper to boring chicken when I can have chicken chasseur?
Thanks for commenting!

I like vanilla as a base for chocolate, bananas, pineapple, & strawberry – its called a banana split.
So maybe, just maybe your vanilla is ur base core strength that you need to spice up, flavour up, color up, flare up, peanut crunchy up with whatever toppings u’d like to throw on.

Whadda ya thunk?

John, you and Idea Design are so un-vanilla, it’s wildly refreshing!
