the WWP gets its first logo

If you look at the masthead of the-wwp.com, you’ll now find a logo, thanks to Heather Jacobs, a WWP regular. I couldn’t have done it alone. I’m no graphic designer. That was clear when I passed out a sheet of draft logos to workshop attendees one month and asked them what they thought, honestly. And they acted like the honest reviewers I had encouraged them to become.

“This is no logo. This is just three “w”s slanted on a page,” said one.

“You may be a great teacher and writer, but I wouldn’t consider a career in graphic design,” said another.

I wasn’t offended, because I can do many things, but art isn’t really one of them. Immediately, Lori Richie and Heather Jacobs, two WWP regulars, offered to draft logos for me. I thank both of them for their work, and congratulate Heather for her designs, which I’m adopting immediately. I appreciate the help! Here they are. Look for them on WWP coffee mugs and pencils and other merch soon!
