First Friday Art Walk New Logo

Here is the new logo for you all to use to help promote the First Friday Art Walk on Etsy.com hosted by the AWE Team (Art Walk Etsy Team).

It may seem a little overkill with the various sizes here but we wanted to make sure it was easy for participating members to just grab one and share it with a link back here to our blog.
500px logo for FFAW on Etsy.com

250px logo for FFAW on Etsy.com

200px logo for FFAW on Etsy.com

150px logo for FFAW on Etsy.com

Thank you to our AWE Team member Jenergy Designs for creating this updated beautiful logo for our event!

If you want to add the 200 px button it to your blogger blog, you can add a gadget (one for html) and simply copy and paste the html code found on this blog's sidebar.
The 200 px image will automatically appear and it is linked up to go right to this main blog.
This is also useful when you are creating any posts associated with First Friday Art Walk, and want a quick image and link.

First Friday Art Walk on Etsy.com is a celebration of Art during the weekend of the First Friday of every month.

If you want to be a part of the celebration you can join the AWE Team as an individual and start using team tags for the event & participating in our discussions & treasury features.

Or just use tag FirstFridayArtWalk.

Both Location and Theme Based teams are also encouraged to join in with the fun and give your team a monthly event to look forward to participating in.

Check out our October posts for our new monthly event format!

Lots more updates to the blog to follow as this event builds up…
