Sometimes we get emails. Sometimes we read these emails. And sometimes, we get a really really special email that’s worthy of sharing. For instance, check out what just landed in our inbox:

Dear Regional Design Annual winner,

Print has created a seal for all the 2012 Regional Design Annual winners:

Feel free to post it on your website to announce and celebrate your recognition in the magazine.

Congratulations on your achievement!

Sincerely,

Print Magazine

An achievement, indeed! Needless to say, we were thrilled. I mean, how often do we get the chance to post a low-res jpg on our website?* This was a special moment, one to be savored and remembered. We weren’t content simply posting the jpeg and being done with it. We needed to do something grander. Something spectacular. Something bigger:

Pretty sweet, right? It’s so momentous it’s literally FALLING OFF THE PAGE DEPENDING ON HOW BIG YOUR SCREEN IS. But it still felt like something was missing:

Making it bigger certainly made the jpeg feel more majestic, but adding that sepia tone made it feel timeless. Also added some rings of champions.

Finally, a jpeg that really says “we ‘like’ this award and wanted to ‘share’ it with you!” Winning is fun.
