  • #STL Design Represent: @Atomicdust & @Tokybd Receive Honors from @UCllc's Brand New Awards

    March 27th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    This is some great exposure for the St. Louis design community - two shops representing on what is one of the finest design blogs for logo design and identy on the internet. Not to mention that they are both on the same damn block.

    From Atomicdust's blog:

    Organized by UnderConsideration, the Brand New Awards is a judged competition that celebrates the best identity work produced around the world. The competition places as much importance on concept and execution as it does on strategy and business decisions by focusing on the work itself, the process, and the client’s involvement. 

    There were more than 700 submissions from around the world, and only 75 were selected as winners - and two of them were for our work with Pastaria. It’s exciting to see our design work for a St. Louis business shown on a world stage.

    Out of 297 worldwide entries in the logo category, only three logos were given a “five star” rating, the highest rating awarded. One of these was Atomicdust’s logo for Pastaria. Another was TOKY’s logo for the Woody Guthrie Center. To think that these came from the same block in St. Louis is pretty amazing.

  • Bud Light Hops on the Facebook Equality Photo Bandwagon

    March 27th, 2013 / Comments (3)

    Something about this just feels a bit strange, does it not? We're all for brands taking a stand on social issues, but we typically (and by typically we mean 'never') associate Bud Light with Gay Rights. It seems like they're just trying to ride the trend wave and create some noise rather than wholeheartedly standing behind an issue.

    Nothing like two tall-boys of rural america's favorite beer to make us feel a connection to marriage equality.

  • The Sketchbook of John Hendrix @HendrixArt Featured in @FastCoDesign

    March 25th, 2013 / Comments (0)

    Here's a very cool article featuring an inside peek into the sketchbooks of some inspiring illustrators and designers. St. Louis' own John Hendrix, an Art professor at Wash. U., is among one of the few featured creatives – to our great delight.

    New York–based illustrator John Hendrix began using a sketchbook when he was 10 or 11 years old; now, he carries one at all times. "The sketchbook," he says, "should be a place where it is safe to make mistakes. If a sketchbook is not a repository of raw ideas, but a touring portfolio of my best work, it loses the very thing that makes it special."
