In Unicode Arial, what’s the closest thing to a lightning bolt?
I know there’s a zig zaggy arrow if you use Lucida Sans Unicode, but the most common font I’ve found on the web is Arial, so I’d like to be able to insert a lightning bolt looking character in, oh say, YouTube or some other such site.
Thanks
Just copy and paste any symbol you want from any word processor or editor.
Most applications support font searching. That means, that if a particular character isn’t in the font you are currently using, the system will search through all your non-symbol fonts until it finds one which has the symbol, and then will display it from that font. The style may not exactly match with the rest of the material on the screen, but at least the character is visible if the user has it in even one of their fonts.
This forum supports font searching.
Just be aware that some users have limited fonts and and so may still not see an unusual character.
Also many users do not have Arial Unicode. So use this technique with caution.
I think the character you are talking about is this one: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/21af/index.htm .
Make Your Event Website Pop With Logos And Colors
The logo and colors provide the face for your event and can help to build credibility. It is always a good idea to include your organization’s logo on registration forms to lend the credibility of that entity to the event itself. However, creating a separate logo for the event itself can help you convey more ideas than your company logo can on its own.
Adding your company logo to your event marketing materials like flyers, emails, invitations, registration forms, and event websites is imperative, especially when your company or organization is an industry-wide expert or a household name. For example, Zig Ziglar conferences or Yahoo! Search Marketing seminars always rely on the brand recognition of the parent company to help create notoriety and credibility for their events. Using your organization’s logo also helps to create consistency when you send registrants from your homepage to the registration form. Seeing a prominent reference to your parent organization reminds the registrant that the event is presented with the same quality and attention to detail that they have already experienced.
You should also consider creating a logo specifically for your event especially if the event has a large following and is building its own branding. It is not a bad idea to incorporate the general theme of your organization’s logo into the event-specific logo, including the colors, shapes and fonts. However, make sure to give the event logo its own identity or twist which makes it unique from your primary logo. If you need inspiration for elements to add to the event logo you can take inspiration from the properties of the event itself. Consider the event venue (located in Florida? Consider adding a Palm Tree.), the type of event (what golf tournament logo is complete without a club, flag or ball?), and the industry. It may seem cliché to use imagery like this but remember that you are trying to get registrants to identify with the idea of your event at a glance via the logo.
Making use of your company colors contributes to the consistency of the registration process, especially when using online registration system to run your event. A more consistent feel from the invitation to the website to the registration will make your efforts seem more coordinated and organized which makes registrants more receptive to your message. The colors you use don’t have to exactly mirror the scheme used on your parent organization’s website, try playing with a new pattern, or add another color to the scheme to make the event materials feel fresh and cutting edge. You could also consider using gradients and glass effects to further the ‘cutting-edge’ styling.
