Celebrating 5 years!

How do you mark a fifth anniversary? Wood! Give it, burn it, build....we're not sure. New office paneling? Plant some seedlings? It makes us ponder. Where have these traditions gone with digital greeting and gift cards? Where's the significance of the material and it's relationship to passage of time? Is it relevant anymore? 

Well, we're just gonna celebrate and "knot" get too heady about it. And, we would like to thank all of our clients who've entrusted us with the honorable and humble task of crafting their visual brands and reaching their communication goals. We couldn't get this far without you! Cheers!

We’re Moving!

And free cones to celebrate. We are leaving our fishbowl and going just down the hall to Suite 2B, how appropriate! So when you come to visit, take the entrance at the side of the front awning, right next to Sakura, and we're on the 2nd floor, right in front of the elevator. We're still close enough to Ben & Jerry's for that pre- or post-meeting snack. IN FACT, our first 5 visitors to our new space get a FREE ice cream coupon! Think we're kidding? Stop by for a visit! (but give us some time to get tidy, we’re officially moving June 30th) // www.bskycreative.com
