<p><a href="http://brandstack.com/users/profile/missjenny">MissJenny</a> turned me on to this new service that acts as a marketplace for logos. The unique thing is that designers can build an entire brand &#8211; with company name, logo and a reserved domain name &#8211; and places it for sale at a fixed price. For designers this can mean selling designs already completed that a client never used. For small businesses (and serial entrepreneurs) this means they save a lot f time and know exactly what they are getting.</p>
<blockquote><p>Save time browsing a ready inventory.</p>
<p>Save money with designer-set prices.</p>
<p>See how logos fare in a peer-reviewed community.</p>
<p>Buy and talk directly with designers, not a sales person or middleman.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Interesting fact I came across while making our homemade new years card. The maximum thickness for the special, cheaper postcard rate is 0.016 inch (maximum size is 4.25in x 6in).</p>
<p>But the nice thick Enhanced Matte posterboard (24”x30” sheet) is 0.047 inches (1.2 millimeters) according to: http://pe.usps.com/text/qsg300/Q201.htm</p>
<p>I also see there are limits on stiffness so probably this material will not qualify for the postcard rate.</p>
<blockquote><p>Examples of a nonmachinable letter include:</p>
<div class="pSmartList1">
<ul class="pSmartList1"> <a name="wp1019904"></a></p>
<div class="pSmartList1">
<li>It has an aspect ratio (length divided by height) of less than 1.3 or more than 2.5 (a square envelope has an aspect ratio of 1, making it nonmachinable).</li>
</div>
<p><a name="wp1019905"></a></p>
<div class="pSmartList1">
<li>It is more than 4-1/4 inches high or more than 6 inches long and is less than 0.009 inch thick.</li>
</div>
<p><a name="wp1019906"></a></p>
<div class="pSmartList1">
<li>It has clasps, strings, buttons, or similar closure devices.</li>
</div>
<p><a name="wp1019907"></a></p>
<div class="pSmartList1">
<li>It is too rigid.</li>
</div>
<p><a name="wp1019908"></a></p>
<div class="pSmartList1">
<li>It has a delivery address parallel to the shorter side of the mailpiece.</li>
</div>
<p><a name="wp1019909"></a></p>
<div class="pSmartList1">
<li>It contains items such as pens, pencils, or keys that create an uneven thickness.</li>
</div>
<p><a name="wp1022372"></a></p>
<div class="pSmartList1">
<li>Letters with nonpaper surfaces, other than envelope windows or attachments that are allowed under eligibility standards by class of mail.</li>
