We've been busy gearing up for the three-day weekend! This week, we got to see our branding design in action at Drawn to Water: A Floating Photographic Exhibition, an ongoing collaborative event between the East River Ferry and United Photo Industries. Be sure to check it out aboard the ferry this spring. Some exciting news also came our way this week-- our logo design for indie radio station, Indigo, was selected by an international panel of judges to be featured in LogoLounge Volume 8! Meanwhile, Sebastian's been sending us incredible photography from his two-week trip through Asia, and we're sharing our favorite shots on Instagram. We're totally jealous and can't wait to see more of his travels.  

Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the tornado that devastated Oklahoma early in the week. This heartfelt design we found on society6 expresses solidarity with Moore, and all proceeds will be donated to relief efforts. Stay strong, OK.
