Five Things Friday

1.You guys, we did a thing… We rebranded! We’d been mulling this over for the past year, and knew it was time to make a change. We’ve been working with Andi, from Old City Mailroom, to create a new look for us. She caught the vision right away, and helped us create an aesthetic that feels just like us. Here are some sneak peeks of our new logo, and what’s to come on our website (just finishing up a few minor edits, then we’ll have a new site!).

2. We had a HUGE presentation this past week, and to be honest, I’ve never been so nervous for a design presentation! It was for our top secret project we’re working on, and the pressure was high. I’m really excited about this project, and the possibilities, but sometimes selling the vision and getting people to buy into that vision is the hardest part. Luckily, our client loved it, and we can keep moving forward! Here’s some inspiration photos for this project… Any ideas what the project is?!
