What is a logo?

What is a logo? The logo of company expresses the company’s ideas, belief and values. It identifies the company without any explanation. As the years change so does the logo, it’s a sign of growth. The changing of a logo usually is for the appeal of the customers, the era and better representation of the company. At CallDirek we have had 5 changes so far from 2004 until today. Looking at these logos from the first years to now, we realize how great this company has become.

CallDirek at Compas Fest

The weekend of the 18^th of May has to be the most exhausting weekend of year for us here at CallDirek. Calldirek sponsors every year the biggest Haitian festival in Miami Compas Festival. Tuesday a couple of days before the event promo bags were getting filled with T-shirts, pens, bottle opener key chains and more. We rented a huge van to transport all of our equipment for the big day compass fest. On Thursday we attended the Compas Fest press conference, where artists like Mika Ben, Carimi, Gazman Coulè, La Rose and more spoke and as usual reporters asked those tough questions. Some of the artists felt a little insulted when a reporter asked them how they felt that “Compas Music” wasn’t popular anymore. They fired back by replying; back in the days only one Compas band travelled the world to perform, that band is Tropicana. Now there are about 5 to 6 bands that travel the world to perform, like Carimi and T-Vice, who have gone to France, Australia, Canada and more. Friday the tension aroused in the office, by 12 PM a group of the staff went to Bayfront Park to start setting up. Tents and banners were placed everywhere. The rain started to fall but it did not stop us from accomplishing our mission. Soaked we anchored the tents, climb ladders to tie banners and placed tear drop banners all over the park.

Finally the day had arrived Saturday! Compas fest was only hours away and we still had some bam bams to blow up and a Blimp to fill with helium. The crew woke up since 7 am  and we all met at the park at 8 to fix the minors details. We were greeted by the rain once again but this time way too early. The event started and went on even with the massive rain pouring people where coming in with ponchos and umbrellas the rain didn’t stop the people from coming in an enjoying the great compas music and the incredible Haitian food. The Musicians and bands sang their hearts out to celebrate Haiti’s flag day, the people were dancing and chanting under the rain. By 7:30 the rain stopped and more people started coming, the excitement was in the air, Haitian beer was flowing the music was good the people dancing and chanting along with their favorite bands. The Calldirek staff started giving out goody bags with flash lights, shirts, pens and glow sticks. Within minutes the park was glowing orange. It was a magnificent site to see. As the night ended, the staff wasn’t done working we had to take everything down, tents and banners and load them on the van. Compas Fest was a success the people were happy and the staff was finally going to get some quality sleep.

I would like to give a special thanks to the staff that was present day and night since Wednesday, Nahiman Moreno, Alexandre Laiutaud, Fabrice Laforest, Fabienne Georges, Melissandre Cabral Perez, Juan Carlos and also our helpers for Saturday, Bertrand Florville, Yadiris Brito, Natacha Morisseau, Laura Hernandez, Auri Guevara and Solangie Rodriguez.

Mobile Phone Top Up Cards

While you are on the phone with your friends and family, the last thing you should be concerned about is the number of minutes you have left on your calling card. When you are speaking to the ones you hold closet to your heart, you should only be focused on sharing memories, plans and news. You should only be focused on what matters the most. Worrying about your phone credit should be the last thing on your mind. But often, this is not the case. Most people that use a phone card to make long distance and international calls are always thinking about how much time they have left. This is because there are many cards that eat away at minutes in a manner that just doesn’t seem fair. The phone cards that you buy at the store are often riddled with hidden charges and fees. By the time you dial the access code, pin number and telephone number and then get a connection, you have already used up phone credit. This means that the amount of minutes you thought you were going to be able spend actually talking are now less than what you imagined.

This is why there is such preoccupation with the number of minutes left on a call. Naturally, you want to be able to communicate without being cut off or disconnected. You want to be able to have a decent conversation without being interrupted in the middle of a sentence. If you have begun to think that this is the only way of getting international and long distance service, think again. You don’t have to continue to subject yourself to the inconvenience that these typical phone cards offer. There is a better way to get phone service and to add the amount of minutes that you need.

Calldirek can provide you with mobile products and services that can make your ability to converse with friends and family more of a pleasure than a chore. First, Calldirek offers pinless dialing long distance and international phone plans that provide you with a way to communicate via a telephone line. This kind of card does not require you to dial codes and pin numbers over and over, every time that you want to make a call. There are also no connection, installation or cancellation fees or contracts. This means that the amount of minutes you purchase will be the amount of minutes that you are able to chat with your friends.

Calldirek additionally offers International Mobile Top Up. This product is basically additional minutes for your phone plan and for your relatives abroad. Topping up your minutes means that you get to add more minutes or credit so that you never have to run out of minutes unexpectedly. You won’t need to go to the store to purchase another phone card. You can top up on minutes by calling a customer care agent or recharging your minutes online. Just provide the carrier, country, telephone number and amount of minutes that you need.
