Company logos which are credibility based will be successful when implemented up to four times greater than logos which are not credibility based. This is because we want to know that the company we are dealing with is competent and can be trusted to work with… Credibility based logo design projects the company as being an expert in their business symbolizing the company core competence and communicates the company as being trustworthy and believable.

The two key credibility element the logo has to convey are:

  • Expertise
  • Trust

The rough figures now are around 75% for standards based (50% IE7 + 25 % FF/Safari) and 25% IE6.

At what point do we stop testing IE6 in standard development. Its a hard question. Below 15% is pprobably our threashold.

The basic strategy is to take a collection of search terms defined by the user, automatically query Google for the number of results associated with each of these search terms (this is displayed by Google when doing a web search), and graph these numbers over time with Gnuplot. At this point let me state up front that Gootrude only makes use of data that Google freely provides to everyone with normal web searches, and is meant to be run once per day (so as to not be a pest in terms of the numbers of queries it makes). As an example, if you type in the word “security” into the Google web interface, it will return a string like “Results 1 – 10 of about 1,010,000,000″. The “1,010,000,000″ number is collected by Gootrude and stored in a file along with the current time.
