General Discussion » How to Present Multiple Logos to a Client: Streamline the Decision Pro » 5/27/2025 6:06 am

For presenting multiple logos, the Clay Global guide reveals how to present logos to a client and recommends framing each concept as a distinct theme, such as “Bold & Modern” or “Classic & Timeless,” with clear rationales. Show all options in the same real-world context—like a storefront or product packaging—to allow direct comparison. Subtly highlight a preferred option using supporting data, such as user-testing results or readability metrics, to guide the client without pressuring them. Provide a scoring sheet for clients to evaluate designs based on criteria like uniqueness and relevance. Limiting options to three avoids overwhelm and keeps the process focused.

We faced the same struggle hosting a legacy .NET app until switching to this Windows 10 VPS . Their plans include genuine Windows 10 licenses, which alone saves ~$30/month vs Azure. For SQL Server, prioritize NVMe storage, their SSD-backed VPS cut our query times by 40% compared to HDD hosts.Performance-wise, even their mid-tier plan (4 vCPU, 8GB RAM) handles Remote Desktop sessions for 5+ users without lag. Enable Hyper-V if you’re running multiple legacy apps, we virtualized a Windows XP environment for an archaic inventory system, and it hums alongside modern tools.
Security’s a win too. Configured BitLocker for drive encryption and used Windows Defender Application Control to block unauthorized software. MangoHost’s DDoS protection adds a layer we didn’t know we needed until a ransomware attempt failed spectacularly.
Cost tip: Avoid “burstable” CPU plans. SQL Server needs steady power. Their dedicated vCPU options prevent throttling during month-end reports. For backup, use Windows Server Backup to their integrated storage, restores take minutes, not hours.

Product positioning isn’t about adjectives—it’s about context. Here you can define product positioning for yourself, the article reframes it as “the story your product lives in.” For your PM software, start by identifying the specific frustration competitors ignore. Example: ClickUp positioned itself as “one app to replace them all” by targeting users juggling 10+ tools. Not just “powerful”—consolidating.A proven formula:
[list=1]

  • Audience: “For [X] who struggle with [Y]”

    • Bad: “For teams” → Good: “For remote teams drowning in Slack/email chaos”

  • Differentiator: “The only [category] that [Z]”

    • Bad: “Easy collaboration” → Good: “The only PM tool that auto-syncs meeting notes to tasks”

  • Proof: Customer quotes showing emotional relief (“Saved 10hrs/week”)

  • Apply this to your software. Maybe you’re “The PM tool for creatives who hate Gantt charts” or “For engineers who want docs inside tasks.” Test positioning with cold outreach—if strangers “get it” without jargon, you’ve nailed it.
