Brief Love Letter To WilloToons

4

The new Not Shocking launch in time for SXSW 2010 would not be possible without the hard diligent friendly comprehensive work of  Willo O’Brien of WilloToons. In addition to our illustrated logo, site and business card design, she was professional, dedicated and 100% responsive. Willo, one of SF’s finest women, does a lot more than web design for a living – she owns and operates WilloToons – eco friendly clothing & designs – where geek meets rock & roll. I love my pair of  On A Wing earrings, and am also a big fan of Rock Squirrel. Willo is a huge supporter of the independent music scene in San Francisco, regularly attending shows and geeking out – WilloToons is Where Geek Meets Rock & Roll.  Thank you, Willo – may our business reflect the professionalism & dedication you put in to  our goals and deadlines.  We could not be happier.

What Willo did: Illustration, Logo, Website, Business Card

See you at South By Southwest!
