<p>We&#8217;re really excited to announce the launch of the new blog for <a href="http://www.theclinkroom.com">The Clink Room</a> &#8211; and not just because we had a hand in making it! The Clink Room guys do fantastic design work &#8211; they&#8217;re the people who do the official logos for Major League and Minor League Baseball teams &#8211; &#038; we&#8217;ve had a blast doing this project. We got to flex our layout muscles getting the site to look just right, and we even got to create our first mobile site! Seriously, it&#8217;s very cool and all of you with iPhones or Android handsets should check it out, stat.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll be launching the revamped Shopify store for these guys very soon, too &#8211; keep your eye out for the announcement. </p>
