Here at BSP headquarters, we are working on these posts for September as we transition from summer to fall. And thanks to Charissa Santos, I will be rolling out some new logos for my recurring posts. Like the one above. If you like the look of it, check out her site HERE. She does branding, print and web design and she is easy to work with and she really made me take a hard look at where I am going and what my design does to help me get there.
