This February will be my 1 year blogging anniversary. I’ve decided to start the celebration early and not only unveil the very first logo for Joy of Reading but also offer a book giveaway.
Before sharing the new logo with you, I’d like to take a brief moment to thank my wonderful husband. He painstakingly designed this logo for me. I appreciated his patient explanation why some of my ideas wouldn’t work, and his willingness to use his free time to create this logo for me. This logo wouldn’t be possible without his creative design abilities.
I’m super excited to share with you the very first Joy of Reading logo!
There is also a black & white version:

I’d probably choose The Esther Paradigm because Sarah Monzon is the one author there I haven’t read! I love the new logo and your blog. Best wishes for a successful and fun year of blogging and reading to you, and much joy and health to you and your family!
