So it’s pretty well established that Marketing companies rarely update their websites. Mine is no different, although I’m going to add some new sites I did.

Busy using all the cool stuff for my clients.  Kinda puts a new spin on the ole’ “Clients First.”

It has been great to be Maue Design and I am very thankful for all the work I have received.

I wish you all the best.

I sent this off to the Newspaper I used to work for when I was in college.  The State News.

Final 4 for logo.

As a graphic designer, I can certainly appreciate the move of the school to choose a new logo, without doing it by committee.  As an student of the internet, I would implore MSU to have a Final 4 logo competition.  MSU students and Alumni could vote on the logos.  They could be bracketed, this Spartan vs. that Spartan.  Hosted on the internet, advertising and PR could get its message everywhere.  It could be the lead up campaign to the NCAA tournament.  What a great way to show off our football team in the lead up to our Basketball team sweeping through the tournament. Certainly a University with a great tradition of leadership can make a correcting decision that could positively impact the University in the midst of this identifying moment.  We need to get ownership of this change, or it will never be embraced.

It is my hope that MSU can spin this to be positive PR.  We’ll get to the whole using Michigan based resources first thing later.

Thanks,
