Hi Ed,
I saw your blog about the food bloggers conference and we’d like to help you with a brand and logo design.
We’re specialist Cultural Industries and Education Agency (clients include the Arts Centre, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Opera Australia). But more importantly we’re food nuts.

Best,
Jason Souter
