Masthead, other new features added to The Icon

Posted by Fred Steiner on December 6, 2009 - 5:20pm

Viewers will begin to notice several changes in The Bluffton Icon starting today.

First, we are excited to unveil our official masthead, which is in the top left corner of this page. It was designed by Fred Steiner using InDesign. It will begin to appear on various Icon promotional pieces.

"We wanted a modern look that is a bit on the edge," said Steiner. This one one of about 12 designs we've played around with since The Icon was launched. The masthead will change colors from month to month, as it is a fluid piece.
