This year is our 20th anniversary as a publisher 🥳
What better way to celebrate than with an updated logo! Huge thanks to design master for creating the new look 👏
We’ll also be leaning more into using “AWBW” in our forward facing branding just to make things a bit easier for everyone. But we’ll always be impressed by anyone who can say our full name 😉
