At the 57th Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival this year, the Design Lions attracted 1297 entries. We are pleased that our work with Wolff Olins on the rebranding of AOL brought home a Bronze in the Large Scale Corporate Identity Schemes category.

We just helped our friends Amy and Nevett at KCDC skate shop by creating a 3 minute mini doc for the MTN DEW Shop Series. There was already 20 minutes of hilarious Nevett footage before he even realized we were rolling.

We’re in the post production stages of a bunch of new projects and will have them up soon. For now we will just have to post a couple of teaser images.

UPDATE: Check out the full project here

We are currently working with Wolff Olins on their rebrand of AOL. Check out the NY Times article here and the AOL press release here. Much more to come!

Some of the world’s best creative artists, including Universal Everything, GHAVA and Dylan Griffin created art and animations for the brand.-AOL press release

The above montage shows a small selection of the brand videos we created for the project.

Peter and Randall just got a new toy for the studio and are printing tour posters for our friend Roberto’s band Helado Negro. Using the Risograph is more like screen printing than photocopying, and keeping things in register is just as hard.
