Congratulations! How did you figure out which logos got in? I got shortlisted as well, but I don't know which ones are actually going to be in the book yet.

Dani -

Glad to hear you are going to be in the book as well. I was told that all the logos I had submitted were going to be in the book. Perhaps you should email Debut and ask.
