Denny Tu 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2009 Incidentally, the title work for MGFest was designed by Jason White and his team at Lift in Chicago. Quite a talented crew. I have some of their work posted on my blog. Like dan_hin, I'll unfortunately miss the event as I'm still in the UK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
