New logos, bookmark unveiled for Best of Books!

       An Oklahoma graphic designer/artist has created new logos and bookmark for Best of Books that will be used in the future.
       The logos were designed by Brian Mays of Brian Mays Art and will be used starting soon for all of BOB's bookmarks and branding. Brian worked with Best of Books President Joe Hight to create logos that could appeal to the many children and adults who visit the bookstore.
        "Brian has exceptional talent at creating portrait illustrations and graphic designs," Joe said. "After we bought Best of Books last year, I talked to him about creating new logos for us. I'm thrilled he agreed to do it and has done such a great job."
        Brian used photos of Best of Books' mascot Nathaniel "Blazer" Hawthorne to create an inviting new bookmark, Joe said. The new bookmark is now in production at Reid Printing in Edmond and will be used in the near future. Joe said he estimates the bookmarks will be in use within the next couple of weeks.
         Besides the new bookmark, Brian also created four separate logos that Best of Books will be using in various capacities. One uses books, two others "Blazer' and another is a circular one without the mascot.
         The logos are needed to incorporate the new look of Best of Books as well as update its logo image, Joe said.
         "Besides the new website and improving the store experience, the new logos were among our priorities. We're glad Best of Books has reached the point we can officially unveil them, thanks to Brian."
         Joe said he hopes to work with Brian on other projects in the future.
