united* 5k nypd run

Dusting off our running shoes, Terrence shining his, we went out for little run up the westside highway for our NYPD folks. Terrence for the win (pink NY yankees cap) and the rest of the crew as his backup. Good times and sore ligaments!

future friday

united* dipping our foot into electronics! It's scary so we only did a dip ( logo! ) and man, it's a cold cold beast. But anywho, look at our logo all grown up in the world!

backwards brand redesign

is it backwards day and no one told us? recently we've been finding examples of redesigns stepping into the past! check out the terrible epson paper redesign, 'new' pack on the right! are the 90's back? then saw the 'redesign' for honeydrop, bevelled bee you guys! man, did we miss something here? what is happening??

un-featured friday!

With every great design comes one's less traveled. This Friday we decided to feature something that was never featured besides to us and the client. Maybe it was too good, maybe his spirit animal feng shui was off, who knows. Anywho here's the B-side of Veloce Pizzeria.
