An Homage to the James Williamson Possum Balloon #
As many of you may know, James Williamson first came up with animal suspended from the floating red balloon logo for the Eleventy project in May of 2018.
It was originally a cat!
James’ quickly iterated to the now-iconic Eleventy possum.

Why a possum? Why is the possum floating? Why a balloon? Exactly. 42.
To honor James, I thought it might be nice to commission a professional interpretation of his original vision. After Ethan Marcotte shared some possum content from Phineas X. Jones, I knew we had the artist to make this a reality.
Literally three days later, I am proud to show you all something that I hope James would have really enjoyed.

You can see more of Phineas’ work on octophant.us, Instagram, or Twitter.
We also maintain a Twitter Moment of community contributed logos.
