Here are some International guidelines to help your design work.

Keep it simple
Simplicity is the soul of an effective visual identity. Versatility and simplicity are hallmarks of an outstanding logo. Your logo design should be scalable to any size without losing any image quality or visual impact. Ask yourself a few questions when selecting a logo design. How will the design look when it is scaled down on your business cards for instance? Will the logo still be legible and recognizable?
Typography is Crucial
Your font's legibility must be of primary concern. Typefaces are selected for their distinctive character, variety of weights, widths and proportions. Select a typeface that is common to most computer operating systems.

Does your logo design work in Black & White?
Consider how your logo design will look when it is rendered in only black and white. Your vendors and advertising outlets may require your logo to be in black and white only. Much other company material such as faxes and company checks for instance may only print in black and white. Make sure your logo design works well in black and white as well as color.

Number of Colors
Every additional color in your logo design can add significantly to your printing costs. Keeping your logo in fewer colors will greatly reduce your expense when applying your logo to different mediums such as signage for instance.

Have you thought about your tagline?
A witty slogan or tagline can complement your logo well, imparting a sense of personality and what your business is all about. Often times how your new prospects get to know you.

File Formats
File Formats are also very important. We create 98% of our logo designs vector based to ensure scalability without sacrificing sharpness and clarity or reducing in resolution. The native vector based file will remain scalable and can be formatted to most required file formats.

Effective Communication
Effective communication continually is vital. There should be consistency of character, style and tone in every aspect of your media communication and marketing efforts.

Do not design by committee.
Centralized creative control is essential in avoiding delays and cost overism with your logo design project. Designing by committee frequently leads to indecision, or conflicts of personality and ego.

First Read your handbooks.

Basically you start off treating the engine very gently i.e. gentle revs and never more than 1/4 throttle. Over time you gradually use more revs and more throttle until you eventually end up using the full range of the engine. It is important to eventually end up using all the power and rev range to wear harden various parts. It is also important that you do not keep to a single continuous speed or gear but vary your speed quite a bit during this time (a long highway journey is NOT a good break in if you just sit in top gear at a continuous speed). This is because things are still hardening up and you can wear a groove into them.

Modern engines break in relatively quickly, often 1000km, older designs took longer as the tolerances were not as precise. The first oil change is often a lot sooner than later ones as during break in rough edges from manufacturing will be worn off and end up in the oil.

Here is more advice from various contributors:

* Drive it gently. General rule is not to exceed 3000 - 3500 rpm. for the first 500 miles. It is also a good idea to be kind to it for the first 2000 miles.

* "Breaking in" your cars engine is an old myth, it is also bull. Rule #1 if you want your engine to last a long time, treat it gentle all the time, not just for the first 1000km.

* Break in is important. All engine bearings and cylinders, etc. must wear evenly and proper. Also, piston rings need to seat. Have you ever seen a new engine burn oil until it breaks in? Some piston ring take up to 5000 miles to fully seat or wear evenly to cylinder bore. Not following proper break in procedures could result in premature engine/parts failure.

* This depends whether you purchase or lease a car. With a purchase you should break a car in for the reasons and using the methods described before, ignoring the one comment about it being bull. If the vehicle is a lease you may skip the break-in period if you so wish. Since not breaking-in a car may result in improper wear of parts, or even engine failure, during the warranty period it will be covered, and a leased car will be returned to the dealer before the warranty period expires.

* You shouldn't just break-in your car if you are buying it. Even if you are leasing it you should. Do the next guy a favor. A very inconsiderate answer man. Besides some people lease it and then decide they like it and want to buy it, so I say, you should break it in anyway. No matter what.

* If you research on how to break-in a new engine on the web, most sites will tell you a procedure to break-in the piston rings (the only thing that matters).

* The proper way to break in an engine is to drive at 30 mph and accelerate to 50 mph. Do this to break in the engine the proper way. Do this the first 3000 miles or so.

* Manufactures are making engines with much higher tolerances today. Where cylinder clearances used to be in the thousands of an inch, now its in the ten thousands. Bores are rounder and straighter. There is know reason to baby a newer engine, it will actually hurt. You need cylinder pressure to drive the rings out onto the bore, which actually shaves the bore into a perfect fit. By babying it the rings will only rub and burnish the surface leaving a less then Ideal finish. So ... keep the revs below 4000 the first 300 miles, then drive it ... accelerate with meaning for the next 2500 miles and your all set. This is how all High Performance engines are broken in, and all engines today can be considered a high performance engine since they pull more power out then there predecessors ever did.

* Most modern car engines are broken in at the factory, before assembly. Therefore the old tradition of breaking in a new car doesn't apply anymore. Just drive as you normally would drive and treat the car the way you would treat anything else of value.

Please go to a petrol station and fill up the tyres or even let some air out to ensure your tyres are 220kPa (32 psi). Drive carefully/gently for at least 300+ km to allow the 'mould release wax' to wear off from the tyres.

VEHICLE BREAK-IN PROCESS

* Do not 'race' the engine, keep the revs low until the engine has warmed up.... See More

* While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm or revolutions per minute between 2000 and 4000 rpm)

* Do not maintain a single speed for long periods of time, either fast or slow. Varying engine speed is needed to properly break in the engine.

* Avoid hard stops, except in emergencies, to allow the brakes to bed in properly.

* Don't let the engine idle for longer than 3 minutes at one time.

Last but not least, read your owners manual from cover to cover.
