Farewell, Happy Camper

Episode details

Basecamp has a new website and a new logo. If this is the first you're hearing about it, it's because CEO Jason Fried opted out of the big rebranding announcement that many companies undertake. On this episode, Jason and marketing designer Adam Stoddard talk about what prompted the new look and the laidback way it came together.
