Sacramento, shhhh
Logotype by mehallo
The secret to being in Sacramento, CA is knowing where the cool stuff is. And a lot of it is just under the radar. The right gallery on Second Saturday, the hole-in-the-wall that has the best burrito, what cool bands are in town.
Mark Bean started Secret Sacramento as a Facebook group. And it’s become wildly popular (over 3,000 followers as I write this) – and it’s spread to Twitter.
And launched recently, the Secret Sacramento website. The new site is kinda sparse – so if you’re local, login and post your own regional finds. Share your secrets.
where i fit in
In addition to designing the logo (above), I will be contributing content from time to time.
But shhhh, it’s all a secret.

‘The video was fourteen months in production. Seven months in notes, research, photography, pre-production, art work and direction. It was then all sent to Philip James Cheaney with full trust and faith and he knocked it out of the park with seven more months of motion work and additional art and direction elements. It wouldn’t work without him. We’re working together under the title of Mur Mur Man Productions’ -DJG
