Friends of our family own a shade/awning company & produce some really cool sails, canopies, etc. They're much more unique than traditional shade solutions. I've had the pleasure of designing their logo & website. We just launched the site last night, check it out: Shade-Guard.com

Worst Logo Ever?

While searching for the a top ten list of worst logos ever (image to the left makes EVERY list) I found this awesome website. If your business is showcased there, or if you know anyone sporting a horrible logo come see ME. Based on the advice of a friend, I will eventually host a "worst logo competition" on this blog. Winner gets a revamped design by yours truly.

Watching this for the first time ever.

First things first

The goal for this blog is to consolidate. Instead of sending emails, Facebook updates, Tweets, etc. I'll update this with photos, antics & marketing ploys to entertain (hopefully) friends and family, while letting clients & potential customers see that I am a real person, not a design firm or logo factory.
