We are pleased to show off the new Magento Partner Program Logos, which you will begin seeing on our Partners’ sites shortly. We are excited to be working with our partners, and continue to receive sign-ups from industry leaders.

With the release of the new Magento site, expected with the release of the Production version, we will begin showcasing Magento Partners as well. If you are interested in learning more about the Partner Program more information is available in the Partner Program Overview.

One final note, the real logos will obviously not have the strikethroughs on them.
