It really shows that a lot of time and effort was involved with this. The creativitiy just blew me away, and your math equations combining the logo idea was spot on. Looks exactly how it was supposed to. Awesome job! That is such an amazing logo. It really shows that a lot of time and effort was involved with this.

Nice! I'm all for scientific testing to see what works. We still do it. 4 years have passed, and I have a different perspective on this now. I think if you "go all corporate" you may well attract more customers. I've learned, however, those customers might not be the ones you want. If you do testing, make sure you track the customers that you get from your "more corporate" look. See if they're higher maintenance, less profitable, etc. I visited your website and was greeted by a smiling chimp. Nice! I’m all for scientific testing to see what works.

I super like this honest post and hv a better understanding where does this monkey came from! Very surprised that yr take up rate surges after you turn 'corporatey'! What made me fall in love with Mc apart from all the good stuff is the monkey and the fact that you guys talk in human language and not the corporate stuff.... That makes me think of my own site which is for the solopreneurs, sales agents & small business owners- would turning corporatey increase our conversion?? Should I do a 'scientific' research like you too? ;) Hey Ben, is it weird to post a comment on an article posted almost 4 years ago?
