If my memory serves me, and I've absolutely no reason to believe that it will, last month I showed you seven or eight ways to use a capital letter to make a simple logo. I might even have placed them on business cards. If I didn't, I really intended to.

This month we'll create another simple logo, using a circle and a capital letter, easy stuff, then look at some ways you can add pizzazz (that's pizzazz not pizza, although right now a little pizza would be just great!) to the pizza, I mean, logo. So before my stomach pulls me away, let's begin.
