It's with great pleasure that I unveil the first step in the evolution of Blogging the Bracket. In the next month, SB Nation will be undergoing a dramatic upgrade to both our platform and editorial process. There will be much more detail to come, but, for now, the new logo is just a first taste of what is coming for Blogging the Bracket.

This is a small, but important sample of what is coming when our network undergoes its most exciting and radical transformation in the eight-year history of the company. A new visual identity here and across the network is only one step we are taking to unite our network of sites. United through individuality is the underlying theme of this project. You'll notice that the old Blogging the Bracket theme and its unique spirit is maintained while making it clear to sports fans that thesite is a part of the larger SB Nation network. We want everyone to know that they can find the same type of great writing, video and conversation that we offer here on all of our 350 plus sites. You can browse through all the new logos on a special page we put together at sbnation.com/united.

Our commitment to passionately follow our sports will never end. It's what makes SB Nation a special place and that will only be enhanced by these new changes. In the meantime we're setting up additions to our store so you can be sporting the latest and greatest before it even launches. Welcome to our future.
