Our good friend Jordan Crane from Wolff Olins called us in when they were beginning to work on the new Current TV identity. In the early meetings GHAVA helped to mold and develop logo possibilities by testing out different motion experiments and options for multiple concepts. Early on it was obvious that the flag captured the existing, and future brand of Current TV. Once the final direction was decided upon by Wolff Olins and the client, GHAVA worked closely with Wolff Olins on further development of the brand look and feel. See more here.

Working closely with Wolff Olins, we recently finished up creating a new batch of art and videos for AOL. The videos were launched at the New Museum in NYC this past May. Check out the project here.

GHAVA was also included in AOL Artists, a new site showcasing the artists behind their unique brand identity.

Downtown Calling is a film by Shan Nicolson about the late 70s – early 80s music scene in downtown New York City. Narrated by Deborah Harry. Produced by our main man Ben Velez with design, logo, titles and packaging by GHAVA.

We also just finished running a couple hundred posters for the film’s world premiere at the Austin Film Festival. Black soy ink on varied pastel 11×17 inch sheets.

We are currently working with Steven Satterfield and Neal McCarthy to develop their new restaurant’s logo and identity. We are excited to be a part of this project because they are committed to sustainable practices as well as working with local growers and producers.

Shan Nicholson directs Downtown Calling, a documentary about the evolution of New York City’s fertile music and art subculture during the chaos of the late 70’s. GHAVA was brought in to develop the title design, as well as the promotional materials. Music supervision by otaku
