Hurting Parent

My daughter was running with her hands in her pockets stumbled and smacked her face on the pavement this week. The day after it happened she was throwing up all day.

That night I was putting her to bed and she held me, looked at me with her scabbed up face crying "daddy give me something to drink." I couldn't because she was throwing it up. My heart broke. Her I'm her dad and I can't comfort her.

At that moment I thought of all the parents around the world listening to their kids cry of hunger. This was hard to go through but I'm thankful I was able to be reminded of the lives saved through Abiah's "Precious Seeds" program. This month 504 kids were feed and told about Jesus through Compassion.

Logos published by Rockport

Hi Friends,

Thought you would find this interesting. The Flagg Group's logo Abiah (the company I steward) designed was recently published by Rockport in the Logolounge 4 catalog. And Abiah's logo made it in the mini version of LogoLounge 4.

Additional Info:
We're pleased to announce that the judging for LogoLounge Book 4 has been completed.

Once again, our judges_this year, Louis Lygo of Wolff Olins, Jerry Kuyper of Jerry Kuyper Partners, Jason Schulte of Office, Gaby de Abreu of Switch Branding & Design, Haley Johnson of Haley Johnson Design, Neville Brody of Research Studios, Janet Martin of Communication Arts, Inc., and Chris Campbell of Interbrand_were faced with an awesome task.

Each judge reviewed thousands of logos from around the world, each mark submitted by talented LogoLounge members. With a total of over 28,000 logos judged, the judges chose 2,000 and the final collection is not only an excellent point-in-time examination, it is full to the brim with inspiration, higher thinking, and craftsmanship.

The new book will be released by Rockport Publishers in February of 2008. Thank you to all LogoLounge members who participated in this project. We hope that the book, its predecessor, and the web site with over 65,000 logos, will continue to feed your mind, inspire your creativity, and further develop your sense of community amongst designers and peers around the globe.


Best Regards,

Bill Gardner
