I know I’ve been emailing more than usual lately, but that’s because I genuinely believe the Alliance can help more creatives do better work, land better clients, and build better businesses.
While I’ve been focused on growing that, a few other updates slipped through the cracks… so here’s the full catch-up:
🏆 Finished Judging for Logo Lounge Awards - I just finished up judging over 3000 logos for the Logo Lounge Awards. There’s some amazing talent out there! You can submit your logos for next year here.
🦩 Featured in Brand Mascot Documentary - Pinky and I appeared in a Documentary about Brand Mascots by Stef Hamerlinck. It’s an enjoyable 25min watch that goes into why they work, why they vanished, and why they’re returning. Catch us around the 20.30 min mark.
