A quick shout out

So I've been attending a lot of events lately - expanding both my network and my horizons. I've handed out a hundred or so business cards and have received many compliments on the logo, the printing or both, so I realized I'm long overdue to give those guys a proper shout out.

My good friend TJ Harley designed the Element logos for us and we couldn't have been happier. TJ is the graphics manager for The Collegiate Licensing Company so you can usually see his work on the 50-yard line at a college bowl game, but his capabilities and creativity are hardly limited to logos. He also does corporate identity and apparel, print and package design and is available for freelance work.

Mike Strelser is the president of Square Fruit Communications and ColorCards.com, and is married to one of my oldest friends, Laura (who, by the way is an amazing interior designer). Mike was not only patient with us as we went through the never-ending options of layouts, stocks, and finishes, but he also provided expertise that allowed us to ultimately defer to his judgement for this important piece of our visual ID. And based on the responses we've received, I'd say that was the right choice.

So if you've been one of the many to receive one of our cards and compliment the work of these two talented guys, please continue to help me say thanks by considering them next time you have graphic or print needs of your own.
