Branding Quote by Jarod Kintz
““People remember a smile more readily than a name. That’s why for branding purposes, I created my logo so that it features a smiling and winking face that spells out “Jarod.” But with my logo, people only see the face, and not the name behind the face, which is how it is in real life. So smile, because it’s what people will remember about you.””
