Final Logo Design

I got the final version of the Nimble Toad logo and banner from Melissa a while back, but life has been so hectic lately, I didn't get around to opening the file until today. You've already seen the banner, now it's time to unveil the Logo. I am very excited to present to you the Nimble Toad official logo:

There he is! In all his nimbe-toed glory.

I'm so excited about this logo. It's perfect. It's simple and clean, but still playful and fun. And it has a solid, recognizable silhouette so I can make block prints of it, or we could stitch it into our products, or make Nimble Toad tote bags! I've got a million ideas for this little guy.

But none of them would be possible without the lovely Miss Melissa VanVaerenbergh, who designed him. I want you to hop on over and check out her blog right now, she is a wonderfully talented illustrator and graphic designer. Thank you Melissa, for your hard work on this beautiful design.

I'm so pumped to get started designing our business cards!

Logo Announcement!

Amanda here.

Sorry I've been so absent. I've been busy moving and starting my new job. I'm glad to see the rest of the team is picking up the slack for me while I'm gone. There are a bunch of new blog posts, and the Etsy shop is filling up fast! There is lots of exciting crafting going on around here, and I have exciting news to commemorate it!

The last missing piece we've been waiting on to make Nimble Toad a legitimate company is its logo. We commissioned illustrator and dear friend Melissa VanVaerenbergh of Two For Joy Studios to design our logo and site banner. She sent me an almost-final-draft yesterday and as you can see, it is at the top of the blog as well as the Etsy shop! When she's all done polishing it and fiddling with details, I'll post the final version. But I just couldn't wait that long.

As you can see, I've also been fiddling with the site layout. I'm afraid this isn't my forte, so I will probably ask the other members to give it a try until we find something we like. So, expect a lot of change around here for a while.

And while you're at it, check out the shop! There's new merchandise every day. In case I haven't linked it enough, here it is again.

Happy crafting. ^_^
