The Story of the Asterisk in the Tiny Prints logo:
During the early days of printing, feudal print makers used an asterisk as a symbol to indicate a person’s date of birth on his or her family tree. Since then, it’s been used to represent everything from a special note in a text to the sweet little kiss of a computer emoticon. Because the asterisk is always used to denote something special, whether it’s the day a person joined the family tree or an online kiss shared between friends, the founders of Tiny Prints placed the asterisk at the heart of our logo as a constant reminder of all the ways we help people to celebrate life’s special moments in style.

Since the asterisk is so central to the Tiny Prints family, we invite all of our Flickr group members to spot the asterisk in their everyday lives and snap a photo of it to share.

We recently held an internal contest asking our Tiny Prints employees to create a photo card that best defines the year 2008 in photos.   The photos were uploaded to the Tiny Prints group on Flickr where we saw some really beautiful submissions.

As you head into 2009 and reflect on 2008, we invite you to do the same.  If you have a Flickr account, we’d love for your to join our group and to see how you would best describe 2008 in photos. To participate, just create an entry on one of our photo stationery cards available at www.tinyprints.com/flickr and post a jpeg of your design to the group.
