Whether this was a quick-on-their-feet reaction to the Gap fiasco or something they had in the works before all the it’s-our-logo-nevermind-it’s-part-of-a-crowdsourcing-experiment-oh-wait-it’s-not-really-our-logo-anymore mayhem, Simple Shoes seems to have landed in a perfect place with their Identity Design Showdown. Pitting five qualified Behance users against their own agency is more than a clever ploy. It’s a great [...]
I used to buy most of my clothing at the Gap. That’s not to say that I ever dressed like a Gap mannequin (except for that one time when my mom actually bought me a complete mannequin ensemble…). I picked and chose and mostly plundered the clearance rack. $6.97 for a pair of boot-cut jeans? [...]
What’s a proper send-off for a fella like Patrick? Golf. And golf attire. Have fun at the Big House in the Pearl, kid. Don’t forget to roll back to Old Town for a sandwich every now and again.

I’ll run across town to touch the Big Aristotle and I’ll stay glued to the Twitter to see where Mr. Hawk is dropping a stash of goods. So, my ears perked up when Nike Sportswear started making a little noise in [...]
A while back, we engaged in a small debate about the term “interactive”—especially as it relates to video and other entertainment content. Well, today, Arcade Fire dropped another mind-blowing interactive music video—their third, if you’re keeping count (See Black Mirror and Neon Bible). The first two gave users the ability to manipulate sound and video… [...]
We love a challenge. Particularly when it involves our favorite pastime: Creating human-animal hybrids. In the new film, “Dinner for Schmucks,” Jemaine Clement plays a Mathew Barney-esque artist name Kieran Vollard. It’s no secret that we’re big-time Jemaine fans—so when director Jay Roach asked us to help create the artwork to represent Jemaine/Kieran’s warped artistic [...]
While SLC rules in quantity (and general NO FEAR-ness), PDX brings the creepy heat when it comes to Mustache May. Max decided to keep it authentic with a little Unabomber style and Abe… well… Abe has always been a big John Waters fan. To top it off, we just couldn’t help but offer our own [...]
