A blast from the past

This weekend among the usual mix of emails from the website came a real blast from the past. Way back in the distant mist of time the original SitesToGo logo was designed by Henry Iles, a graphic designer that I worked with during my not for profit days.

The ethical marketer’s dream, this guy once fell out with me when our Japanese colleagues insisted on replacing an artistic egg (a fertility symbol in Japan which is not quite appropriate for a Youth Hostel!) with a geisha (which offended Henry). The Japanese won but only just…

Not surprised then to find he is now attached to In Control a Uk based charity working dedicated to helping to change the system of social care. Like Microboards here in Ireland. Putting people with disabilities in control of their relationship with authorities. The Microboard website will go live shortly but I have suggested they comment on this blog to get the information out their a bit sooner.
