New Logo for AroundandAboutSanDiego.com

by site admin on October 2, 2008

It has been five months since we quietly acquired AroundandAboutSanDiego.com, a site that offers virtual tours of things to do in San Diego. Over the summer we tasked our intern, Isaac Ramirez, to port the site into wordpress. Last month we created a contest on 99designs for a new logo.

How 99designs Works
You submit a brief with all of the things you want and don’t want to see. You decide how much you want to pay and designers who are interested in your contest get to work and submit their designs. We were pleasantly surprised by the effort some of the designers put into the contest, we gave everyone feedback and some designers came up with a few designs. When the contest was almost over we had our favorites but we quickly gravitated towards this last minute submission.

And the Prize Goes To
We awarded the prize to jetpix after learning that that our friend, Rob Burns, who was the founder of AroundandAboutSanDiego.com, liked the same design as us. After the contest, I asked jetpix to make a few changes and he happily updated the logo. I highly recommend trying out 99designs if you need a new logo. Rob did, check out his new logo for foodphotoblog.com.

We have a lot in store for AroundandAboutSanDiego.com. Now that the new logo is done, we can finish up the new site design and add new content.

Condesa Redux

by site admin on February 9, 2007

We finally got around to updating our company site. The last item we posted here was two years ago. We’ve been busy working on service upgrades and new features for PR Leap. Occasionally, we found the time to write some helpful press release optimization articles for the PR Leap Blog.

In January, we moved into our new collocation facility. We bought all new equipment and will be flipping the switch by March. We had hoped to have our new cluster up and running sooner, but other priorities arose.

Our very own Merrick Lozano was recently interviewed by Michael Gray, author of Graywolf’s SEO Blog as part of a series of interviews on Local Search Tips, Tricks & Secrets. Make sure to check it out.

Soon we will be announcing new features for PR Leap, and two new projects. One is a local project and the other is related to PR and social media.

Hasta luego amigos.
