I enjoy doing freelance work when it comes up, especially when it comes from such a fabulous person as Gracie Terrell. It’s always such an interesting change to work on something completely different - like a logo for a party planning company called By Blonde - Gracie’s new project!

Gracie liked the idea of using a silhouette, and once we found one that fit her, the frame pretty much picked itself. I was really happy with the way our party girl balanced out the swirls on the frame.
I had so much fun working on something so whimsical - thanks Gracie! I see many fabulous parties in your future…

Immediately, the talented and willing SBJ came forward, you can check out the sneak peak here on her blog The Dramatic! [...]
