neph•ew  [nef-yoo]

1. Your nephew, cousin, neighbor, step-son, high school kid, or college buddy's daughter, who said that they can do your logo, business card, website, brochure, or branding, but has no more design skill or experience than what they learned at the community education course they took over the summer.

1. The fact that you have known for quite some time that what your "nephew" delivered, or maybe still hasn't delivered, isn't what you need and maybe you should have found a professional company to do the work.

At Top Thought Studios when we talk about the nephew conundrum we tend to joke around a lot, but your business image is not something to be taken lightly. Ask yourself the following questions to see if you have a conundrum on your hands.

• Does the market see your company the way you do? External-internal blindspots can limit your market reach.
• Does the quality of your logo and branding match the quality of the products and services you sell?
• Do your marketing pieces maintain consistency with your established image or brand?
• Are your website and print marketing pieces consistent with your established image or brand? Do you have an established image or brand?

If you answered Yes to one or more of these questions, you may be knee-deep in a nephew conundrum. We can help.

At Top Thought Studios we have rescued numerous companies, large and small, from their "nephew", and we can do the same for you. We are professional graphics designers, usability experts, and hard-core programming geeks, but first we are customer service freaks. We feed on customer interaction and the energy it brings to the project.
