Yesterday, we had our first “professional” Queensboro video shoot. And, when I say “Professional,” I mean we used a video camera instead of a digital photo camera, and we had a script. The video features Heather, the Customer Service Manager, the Arm of Logo Specialist Eli, and cameos by Fred and Mark.

If you are a frequent and fanatical reader of Behind the Seams: The Queensboro Blog, you know that a frequent topic of discussion is what to include and not include on your logo. A conversation with my dad yesterday gave me a good idea to repeat a frequently spoken phrase around Queensboro “You don’t [...]
