One of the appealing aspects for many people about being online is being able to create the sort of persona that you want to portray.

In the case of Twitter there are a whole range of profile images used to create an ‘image’. These range from rather bizarre graphics, to ‘hey look at me I’m some kind of success’ image.

Then there are those who want a good, honest quirky image that is them but at the same time is not really them.

Some time ago we did a caricature for very nice, polite Indian lawyer. Today I have seen how this image is also being used as an identity picture on twitter.

This caricature was created by artist Zalo (in a more complete form)

Company conferences can be tired, drawn out affairs, but when you get a caricature order for caricatures like these, well! This is one conference I would not mind going to.

Seems they are going to have their own version of the Deal or No Deal game and the three company bigwigs (no pun intended) are going to get to be the Case Girls.

The brief was two of the guys always scowl and the other is well, see the ‘Gal’ in the middle and have a guess…all needed garish make-up and look a bit like drag queens (did they ever have hope of looking any other way?)

This caricature was created by artist George. How can you use caricatures in your business?

Here is a logo for a UK business that helps people reduce debt obligations by finding loopholes in financial contracts.

The brief was to have a Zorro like approach with a character a bit like the guy in the Matrix movie.

This was created as a vector image to allow resizing from business card size to print ads, plus various colour combinations.

Digital caricatures are sooo versatile. Unlike the traditional paper-based ones that get framed and put on the wall, the flexibility of digital leads to some great fun uses.

Artist George recently completed a group caricature of 14 guys who make an annual trip to Las Vegas during Super Bowl week.

This year, to mark the 20th year, they had special T-shirts with a great caricature printed on the front.

In times of economic downturn, holding good staff is important. Good staff are hard to find and at times like these, other employers will be on the look-out for the best staff.

So an employee recognition program is an important way of letting staff know that you recognise their efforts.

Caricature King has several clients who actively respond to staff effort by way of “Employee of the Month’ or ‘Champion of the Month’ in the form of a fun caricature for the monthly awardee.

Here is a sample of what one employer in Carolina does.

As you can see the image produced by artist Rick portrays their work and why they won the award.

We have other clients who reward both staff and every quarter, recognize one of their managers as well.

If you would like to look at implementing a caricature recognition program, please feel free to contact us.
