It’s almost always interesting, and sometimes very useful, to know the back story behind designs. This is the story of MailChimp’s new logo and how it was influenced by Nintendo’s Super Mario, Kentucky Fried Chicken and Mozilla Firefox!

I really love MailChimp’s sense of humour – they really seem to love their work and I completely empathise with them. I certainly hope that we can tread the line of integrating professionalism with fun here at SelfAssemblySites!
