Your brand is MORE than your logo. When I talk with my clients about their brand, we talk about everything — logo, website, social media, print materials, promo items, all of it. Everything your company does is part of your brand — your reputation.

The #1 inquiry I receive is "I need a new logo." That's a great place to start, but it's my job to ask, "What else?" If you need some help crafting your brand story, contact me, and I'll guide you through how leveling up your overall brand can help grow your business.

I can't wait to dive into this book by Counter-Print Books. They have a series of books dedicated to showcasing some wonderfully simple logos over the years. Check out their catalog at the link in the comments.

Hello, my name is Michael. I’m your local graphic designer who creates cool stuff using WAY less water than other models.

It’s pretty cool when an idea becomes a permanent fixture for my clients AND when it appears on food. Today, I attended the Open House for the Central Kansas Mental Health Center Youth Center. The new logo design was plastered all over - even on a cookie. Congrats to the entire team at CKMHC because the building looks great!

Need some easy gift ideas for your family and friends? I have a variety of cool —some sarcastic— stickers available on my Redbubble store (link in comments). "Tornado Watch" is my newest addition.

These are print-on-demand, so if you order 1 or 25, they will ship the stickers directly to you! Thanks for the support!

New Visual Identity: Recently, I created a new logo and visual identity system for another one of my BNI partners, NorthStar Financial Coaching Kara Revell. Kara offers financial coaching to nonprofits, acting as a Fractional CFO (a term I didn't know until I met her!). NorthStar is Your Financial Compass, and the logo reflects several things at once — the bold Star shape inset with a north-facing compass arrow PLUS the letter "N" that could also be seen as a financial growth chart.

When you come to Mr. Freeland Design for a new logo, expect the unexpected. I am always intrigued by the 'secondary eureka' moment when we view logos. (i.e., the arrow in the FedEx logo or 31 in the Baskin-Robbins logo).

If you know a small business or nonprofit that could benefit from Kara's services, she focuses on financial clarity and ethical leadership.

My job can take me anywhere. Today, I spent some time in Lindsborg - aka, Little Sweden. I love this community and the culture here is so welcoming. If you haven’t tried Blacksmith Coffee Shop & Roastery then you are missing out! ☕️🤌🔥
