News update Mijn naam is Haas

Thursday, June 25th, 2009

Last week Mijn naam is Haas launched their new design last week at the Joint Venture event at Pakhuis de Zwijger. After months of hard work the characters of Haas and his friends are more colorful and very cute by now! As if it wasn’t busy enough the character designers found the time to draw a picture book about the new refined Haas. It will be in bookstores by September. And last but not least, the Guild Members were selected as one of the Sprout Business Babies.

Conclusion: there’s been happening a lot lately! Check out the Mijn naam is Haas website to have a peak at their new design and the cover of the picture book. Check out the business babies page of the Sprout site to read the interview about their nomination.
