It's the New Year, the beginning of 2012. I am feeling that Lady Carolyn needs a shot of adrenaline. I've been tossing around some ideals in my head. Before attending the NAI training at the end of October I knew what I did, but the explaining of that was..well.. sometimes a little cloudy. I've know what my forte is, but putting that into a logo or a one sentence could be difficult at best. "Brings History to Life" is on my business card, which is an accurate statement, but history is not always a big earth shattering historical moment. The big wheel in history would be what you can put your finger on and say that person or event changed the course of history. I bring to life, the little bits or a little cog in the wheels of history. Sometimes my stories are a by-product of what was happening at the time the big wheel was the topic of conversation. My little cogs of information supported the big wheel and kept it turning, it may be if that little clog had not been there, the big event may not have happened.
Over the weekend I've been playing around with a new business card, logo concept. Maybe changing the web site to reflect more accurately what I do. I'm not 100% satisfied yet, especially with the "Bringing the Little Cogs of History to Life". As my dear husband said "What's that? What does that mean?" so then "Bringing the Little Things of the Past to Life" seems better.
I seem to be brain dead working on this and it's only January 2, 2012 there's 363 days left to be energized. If you can think of a one liner to put here, it would be much appreciated and a Starbucks gift card will be coming your way.

I really believe that describes what you do so much better. It's cute and accurate. I also think your way of presenting historical events is unique, and this will give a clue that this is something a little different.
I think just - "Bringing History to Life" would be the best bet - short and to the point. If your husband knows you and questions it, then the general public will be even more confused:
Should you decide to keep the current slogan - I think you mean "cogs" instead of "clogs". More coffee for you! :)
I love the grapics on the new card idea, and I love the idea of telling about the cogs of history that kept the larger gears turning. But like Scott says, not sure most people would understand the meaning behind the catchphrase. Maybe something like "Brings History's Tidbits to Life" or "...History's Lesser Known Facts..." Or you could stay with Cogs of History and just know it will be a conversation starter, which I've found is always useful.
It's always fun to renew. How about "Where the past is present.". Or "Bringing the past to the present". I'm sure you'll bring it to life.
How about, "Turning back time to breath new life into the past" :)
