Branding & Identity
I have been taking this Letterpress class for a few weeks now. And we are finally getting to the point where we can print on our own, whatever we choose to. I thought I would take this opportunity to work on branding for myself. If you are a designer, you know that that's always the hardest. I worry I will want to change it in about 3 months, but most likely I will, so I should really let that worry go and just work on what I think it best for now. But in my quest for a new image, I found a few others that inspired me.
Nothing simple about this black and white:

Logo lovin':
Monday. Monday.
Today is definitely feeling like a Monday. It's a bit overcast and draggin' a lot. So I thought I would throw up some inspiration from my friend over at Pip & Estella.
Handletters Logos
These hand lettered store logos are pure perfection, and what a great collection from Designer Christian Annyas.

Thursday Thanks > 1
I know we have all heard of the Grateful Journal. And I do try to be grateful in my daily life. But I read something the other day in Health magazine that said that if you write some thing you are grateful for once a week for at least nine weeks, then you are more likely to be happier, healthier and even exercise more. Well I already exercise 6 days a week on average, but who wouldn't want to be happier!
So, I am taking on my first ever weekly post. Every 4th day of the work week I will do a "Thursday Thanks" post, with at least one thing I am grateful for.
For this inaugural post I am most thankful for my sweaty lunches. Today I went on a 13 mile bike ride along the beach. I mean how can you not be grateful for a place of work that lets you get your sweat on in the middle of the day! Love it!
