Our Zeitgeist tagged with “Industrial Brand”
With the help of designer Nancy Wu, we developed a logo design that emphasizes an exchange of ideas and communication within a like-minded community using visual language of quotation marks that symbolize talking heads as well as the four books of the Bible chronicling Jesus' life. In a nod to classic Christian iconography, there's even a subtle cross hidden in the negative space between the quote elements implying the underlying focus of this dialogue, while the colour palette progresses from cool blue to warm red suggesting a journey from discovery to acceptance. Can you see the cross? There it is!
After some intense analysis of the goals and content of their website, we developed a a strategic plan and developed a killer interface design using the new brand elements. The development team is hard at work bringing this complex website to life.
We're proud of the final result and feel it nicely tells the story of this unique brand quite well. Though a brand new identity, it has already started to get some attention from the design community, such as this feature on
Icorgada's Galeria.
Congratulations and very good luck to our friends at Yaaway.com as they launch the beta version of the website, begin promotion efforts and start building the community that will drive this unique social network. It's still in a development form and being updated weekly as they integrate new features and design improvements, but we encourage you to check it out at

The theme for this year's competition, “
The Best of Visual Communications: Opens a World of Possibilities”, uses the visual language of a tournament ladder structure to reveal the various influences and inputs that go into a design solution, as well as serving as a representation of the fierce competition to win a prestigious Graphex Award. As well, the tournament ladder is flipped to explore the various possible influences and effect a particular design project can have far beyond the creative brief or client, such as on the community, economy, environment and society. And what effects will winning an award such as Graphex have on our own lives, reputations and careers?
Graphex 2008 asks the question "
What effect will your design have?"
Enter now to find out.

I don’t want to harp on my pathetic luck, but last week I rebroke my foot doing too much too soon. It’s highly disappointing discovering that you are not, in fact, invincible, and that stubbornness is your own worst enemy. IR [...]
