After much thought, I decided to re-brand myself throughout my social media. It’s easier for everyone and myself if I use the same name everywhere.
There were two main ideas I wanted to express by changing my branding approach. First, I wanted to create a new logo that was bright, happy, inviting; but still video game related. I thought of other ways I could represent a heart using video game related matter and it struck me that I could stack Tetris pieces together to create a heart shape. Using colors inspired by a Peter Max painting, I pieced together my Heart logo and I love how it turned out!
Secondly, I didn’t want to be known as iMelissaGale anymore. Melissa Gale is fine, it’s my first and middle names combined, I just didn’t want the “i” before it anymore. It made me feel like a Mac product, instead of myself, and I definitely want to be seen as my own entity. When I went to go look for usernames though everything related to Melissa Gale Gorman and Geek at Heart were already snatched up. I decided to give “Geek at Heart” a little tweak by adding “ily” to the end of Heart, “Geek at Heartily”. You can now find me at the following sites.
I ran into a small problem with YouTube and their policy that you cannot change your URL once you’ve selected it. I had to create a brand new YouTube channel just to unify everything. If you were subscribed to my previous channel, please subscribe to my new one! I can’t thank you enough for supporting me when I need it the most!
just a heads up, you need to add http:// infront of all the links, at the moment they're going nowhere on your own blog :)
