Logo and Site Refresh for 2010

Posted in Community on December 7th, 2009 by admin – Comments Off

The Refresh Orlando needs a logo and site refresh before 2010 rolls around.

Any volunteers?

Kudos would include credit for the site design/logo in the ‘About’ section, as well as publicity via Twitter and a mention in _all_ future Event Brite invitations.

Reply, via comment or via the Forum, if you are interested or send an e-mail to rdegraci@gmail.com. If there are more than one entrant then we will have a general vote for the winner.

If by 12-14-2009, if there are no volunteers then a general request will be sent out to the local Orlando area for graphic designers and web designers to send in their entries.

Now, let’s hear from the SEO Rapper on site design…
