This Spring, alongside the release of our third book, Occasional Magic, The Moth debuted a brand new logo, designed in partnership our friend Stephen Doyle and his talented team at Doyle Partners.

Where’s my itinerary?” This is when it feels real - sitting in the sunlight shining through the huge windows at Detroit Metro Airport. It feels like the best day ever. It’s a flight day. Here in the airport, it's busy and empty at the same tim...
