Some days, like today, it may appear as if I make a conscious effort to colour coordinate with my @DSRFcanada team, but I don’t. I do however, appreciate when we do. Today, it’s with Danielle, a member of our front office staff.

What’s in a logo? Well, with the new one for @DSRFcanada, a lot more than just pretty colours. The story behind what you see (link in the DSRF tweet below) and why it makes our team incredibly proud. It’s so much more than “just a logo”.♥️ #branding https://t.co/9TZPYKoVed
