The beautifully designed logo and the intertwined \u2019S&#8217; mainly is pure marvel. Obviously, in those days, advertisers could draw and not just click on a mouse. I like the way they fit all letters into a round shape and it still looks good in spite of this.

At the time, I thought he was completely mad. And then I did the same 6 years later. I once was his first customer and I\u2019m proud I helped him with his then budding business.
