So if you’re a librarian, you may have already seen this a few times. Back in mid June, I got a message from Janie Hermann that she was looking for a sketch for an upcoming American Libraries Association conference session using Battledecks, a presentation contest in which participants are asked to present on a topic using slides they’ve not seen yet. She asked only that I use a tiara in the design, as the tiara was the top prize. It’s hilarious fun, and lets presenters really bring their best adaptive skills, wit, and self control to the stage. I was thrilled for the opportunity to help, and thanks, Janie, as usual, for asking! Peter Bromberg created a youtube playlist with all of the festivities captured at this youtube playlist link.

You really hit it out of the ballpark with this logo. It really added so much to our event in every way to have a Creative Commons logo that we could use as we needed.
Here is the Cafe Press shop where you can see the fab logo on lots of great swag:
Here you can see the logo blown up on the screen at the start of the battle:

Your name is becoming well-known nationally in libraryland for your awesome work — and your love of Creative Commons and Open Source (two causes near and dear to the hearts of many librarians).
Janie, I love working with you. Thanks so much for your advocacy for both design and Creative Commons. I’ve been getting great feedback from this piece, and I can’t tell you how happy I am that you trusted me with the work. Best to you as always. 🙂
