Ad Infinitum, a student-run advertising agency at CSU, has been designing several new logos for me for the last month or so. Today I received an email from Katie Matteo, one of the officers of the group, with 6 logo designs. I have posted them in this article.

If you are here because of Junior Achievement, you should read this. If not, you should still read this but it might not be as relevant.

As some of you know, I recently (about 4 hours ago) had the opportunity to meet a whole slew of incredible people. I was invited to sit on an entrepreneurship panel for Junior Achievement in Denver today and I’m writing this to thank everyone involved.
