Creativity in branding and identity is something that makes one really appreciate the creativity and ingenuity of the design industry. More so, great logo work inspires us (and hopefully you) to step up our game and try and refine our work.

Just a quick note here to showcase one of our newest Twitter Backgrounds to be designed. Kim Masoner (@beachcleanup), of Saveourbeach.org, needed a background to spruce up her plain ol’ Twitter BG, and to help put out her information in a more stylish way. She wanted to incorporate an image similar to that of her avatar (sandy beach, footprints, waves) and also wanted to layout her contact info and bio in a much more stylish way. After a few revisions, some tweaks, and a couple of discussions, we were able to get Kim a background that we are proud of, and she is thrilled with!
I did try to change my bg and paid a small amt, but was never able to upload it….so I’m tickled pink with my new bg. – Kim Masoner, Founder of Saveourbeach.org
We’re happy too Kim and we look forward to seeing you at a future beach cleanup!
