Typecast as Boring & Bland

“When I approached Source27 for help with HLB’s image, I just knew that we needed a change, but didn’t really know where to start. Angela was able to take the little information and design a new look for a 40 year old firm that all of the partners loved immediately! I know that our new logo, letterhead and business cards better represent the forward thinking accounting firm that we are today and that this identity will serve us well into the future. Accountants may be typecast as boring and bland, but our new image from Source27 is exactly the opposite. I highly recommend the team at Source27!”

Superbowl 2011 Thoughts

When I say thoughts about Superbowl 2011, I’m referencing the commercials of course! While it was a good game to watch, in the last half I might note, as one might say I did not have a dog in this fight so I was watching it for the commercials.

The clear winners of the 2011 Brandbowl are Doritos and Volkswagen. Budweiser and Bud Light used to be the ones who took home the trophies for the brand bowl 10 years ago but it they did not even seem to show up to the game last night. Our Director of Artsy Fartsy tweeted throughout the game to help us remember talking points for today, so many were just that unmemorable.

Would definitely use them again and recommend Angela to anyone looking for graphic or print design!”
