Our Home
Since IT Weapons started to grow in earnest, I have really wanted to see our logo up high where you can see it from far away. And now we’ve got it … Funny enough, flying home from a conference in Dallas last week, Jeremy and I actually saw our sign from the plane as we were lining up to land at Pearson airport. Looking back to our early days, after a few Beta versions, we fell in love with our logo (and the company name); it’s memorable and it’s always a conversation starter. It stands to reason that the more exposure our logo gets, the more interest it will generate. Sometimes … we get a little too much interest!
When it comes to our customers, they know our name and they are clear on the symbolism of our logo: the ‘i’ and ‘T’ make up the sword alongside the word “Weapons” … The name is a metaphor for the team. And then we have our tagline: ‘isn’t it time you felt safe?‘ Since we moved to the Goreway office and put up the great big sign, we now get daily updates from our reception desk entitled “Today’s Walk-ins”. Apparently, to the non-IT savvy passerby, we are selling weapons. Lots of weapons. Our daily update emails from reception have become a wonderful laundry list of off-the-street requests for:
- Machine guns
- Hand guns
- Knives
- Swords (of course)
- Antiques
- Martial arts supplies
- RPG’s (yes… RPGs… in Canada)
Our name and logo have definitely inspired interest. As silly as those walk-ins are … Attention and interest are at the heart of business branding and marketing.
