Psychoanalysis of a Corporate Name?
By Naseem Javed
A corporate name, at best, is an ‘outcry’ from the deep bottom of the corporation in search of attention and in pursuit of fame and glory. Whether you read a name in a column, see it in the phone book, hear it on the radio, or come across it on the web, it is always a desperate cry for something.

F R O M P R E V I O U S O P I N I O N
Does your Association/Guild offer Certification?
We wanted to know if your association or guild offers you a possibility of obtaining a professional certificate or license to graphic designers.
A vast majority of 92 percent of you have no means of receiving a Certificate for professional designers. Just 8 percent of you do, half of which (4 percent) can obtain it through their association, and the other half through a Guild or other organisation.
Does your Association/Guild offer Certification?
My association offers such a possibility 4%
My Guild or other organizations offers such a possibility 4%
There is no certification system in my country 92%

No longer relegated to the printed page, text now strides, pulsates and twirls on monitors and screens in bold layered sweeps of word/ image/sound assertion. Shall wetolerate our Mac's guilt-toned trill, ‘It is NOT my fault.’? Perhaps not fault, but certainly raison d' etre. How do we respond?
