Feeling a Little Royal

Everything in Kansas City, and in my office, is swathed in blue and all things Royals so I see no reason why I should not inflict this on everyone else.
Here goes:

First, I wanted to show you this wonderful video of retired Hallmarker, Shannon Manning, talking about designing the Kansas City Royals logo. I found the article with the video on Todd Radom’s blog about the development of the Royals logo.

Then I wanted to show you this wonderful chalk mural created by the lettering staff at Hallmark this week:

Go #Royals! Check out the #timelapse of our chalk mural. #crowntocrown #takethecrown #worldseries #instakc #instavideo #hallmark

And then there’s been a slew of doodles and messages of support:

Our hometown @KCRoyals are headed to the #WorldSeries! It's taking over sketchbooks like this one from lettering artist @rogerslisablue. Keep an eye out for more throughout the week! #BeRoyalKC #sharehallmark #crowntocrown
