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.

Our work for AOL at the New Museum in celebration of AOL’s 25th Birthday and launch of their recent Project on Creativity. In addition to the work of legendary artist Chuck Close, forty-one artists premiered work at the New Museum through AOL’s program.

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.

Just received promo copies of the upcoming Bear In Heaven album, Beast Rest Forth Mouth due to be released on Hometapes in mid-October. We’ve been working closely with the amazing illustrations of Laura Brothers for the upcoming release.  Stay tuned for the whole package; CDs, LPs, posters, t-shirts, etc.
