Jason Montoya
Jason Montoya is Founder and CEO of Noodlehead Studios. He is an innovative New Media Marketing leader and filmmaker. Starting his life in Arizona, some say he came out of the womb with a computer in one hand and a bowl of spicy pasta in the other, but that theory is based purely on speculation. What we do know is he quickly acclimated himself into technology by working with Sciencedata at a young age starting out on a project for the Discovery Channel (95 Worlds and Counting).
His experience and talent quickly grew as he worked on various new media projects ranging from ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to a Beijing Omni-Max Presentation. As his talent accelerated in the creative world he became involved in the educational series called Astronomy: Observations and Theories which soon received two awards.
Based on further speculation, it is believed his marketing skills have increased because of his large intake of capsaicin (really spicy food), but the truth is he spent many years with his own personal projects and those of his clients to increase traffic and brand awareness thus becoming a primary service of Noodlehead Studios. Born into an artistic family with impressive mentors, for his personal and business life, he has built up and grown Noodlehead Studios into an established creative & marketing firm.

One2World Logo Design: Before and After
Noodlehead Marketing had the privilege of working with One2World. One2World is a human capital brand management company that helps other companies enhance company brand by more effectively managing the branding efforts of their people.
One2World wanted Noodlehead Marketing to produce a new logo design.
Take a look at the before and after logos. Notice the difference in colors and the size of the text. The colors reflect the personality and values of One2World.
Notice also how the second logo has a certain depth. In this before and after image, you can see how much we transformed a chaotic logo into a logo that fully delivered.
One2World now has a much more clean and simple design that is easy to read and understand. To learn more about One2World, please visit their website (Designed by Noodlehead Marketing).
5 Key Elements of Effective Logo Design
- Colors: What colors you use can convey your messaging. Are you using blue to gain trust, or red to show passion?
- Icon: If you are able to, tie in an icon into your logo. It could be a character or inanimate object. This is key for giving your brand legs. Look at how Gieco and Aflac were able to turn boring subjects into fun, exciting stories.
- Simplicity: Less is more. The simpler you can make the logo the easier it will be to leverage it across multiple mediums and convey your message to people.
- Relevance: How relevant is the icon, the company name to what you do? Can the icon be more closely tied to what you do in regards to perception? Can people look at your logo and feel like all elements are relevant to your company? Does that logo emanate your company's personality?
- Presence: How does your logo look on its own? How does it look printed? On the web? Does it have the look and feel that provides a presence, that gets people to look at it regardless of what is around it?
Logo and Slogan Development
- One of the elements, logo or slogan, of the brand must be informative of what it is.
- One of the elements, logo or slogan, of the brand should be sexy and/or cool.
For example, if we had named our company "Atlanta Web Design", I would have a cool slogan that says something like "Taking you places you never been!"
If I had named my Atlanta web design company CranBrain Corolations, I would then use a descriptive slogan such as "Building effective websites, one client at a time!"
Now if I had named by web design company CranBrain Corolations and used the abstract slogan, "Taking you places you never been!". No one would ever know what you service or product you offer.Unless your a Coca Cola and have hundreds of millions of dollars to spend, follow our process and you will get more exposure of your brand.

Technology: Rapid Growth
You watch TV, you go online, you play on your phone. A week later you look back and realize you don't remember what you watched, where you surfed and what you played. What you do remember is you used the TV, computer and phone at some capacity. Technology has and will always change very quickly. What you need to embrace and plan for is a strong message and story that will resonate with your viewer. We can't know if websites will be important in 10 years or if phones will be the primary internet device. What we can know is the message will always transfer mediums. It will cross platforms and change formats but it can and always should tell your story.
Your story is what makes you unique. It is what will sell your company. Without it you are just another company. Leverage your story because how you leverage your story will determine how much success you have.
Our Mission: Noodlehead Marketing helps your company grow revenues and brand awareness by building intentional websites, powerful videos and running effective search engine optimization campaigns.
Our Vision: Noodlehead Marketing's vision is to bring excellence and accountability into your company through your marketing department.
