(Slightly) Changing the Face of the Herald


HeraChanAs you  may have noticed, we’ve created a little change of scenery at the top end of the site. While the classic logo served us well over the past three years, I felt that it was time for an update.

Along with the logo, as you can see, is a charming new face. That’s Hera-chan, Anime Herald’s new mascot. And, hopefully, we’ll be seeing her pop up from time to time. Maybe she’ll get a back-story. Maybe she’ll have some crazy adventures where hijinxs ensue. Or maybe, just maybe, we’ll just leave her as a cheerful face to welcome readers to the site.

For now, though, I hope that you like the new logo!
