One Hundred Days is a bold 100 day long experience inspired by the unique collaboration of graffiti art and innovative cuisine. Using the stripped down dining room and exterior of the restaurant as his canvas, local artist Vince Dumoulin will be enhancing his work over time, making each visit unique.

The ever-changing space will serve as a backdrop to the raw, urban and industrial décor. The talented chefs at One Hundred Days will create a tantalizing menu where urban diner meets Mediterranean cuisine inspired by the art surrounding them. Located in the world renowned OPUS Hotel Vancouver, the pop up restaurant concept reinforces the brand’s reputation of being uniquely stylish and always fresh.

A few months ago we talked about some branding we did for a home decor company called Örling & Wu.

At Örling and Wu you will find decorative fabrics and objects from Europe and around the world. The branding strategy was to reflect a fresh mix of contemporary, vintage and classic European styles.

You’ll be happy to know that you can now head down to Gastown at 28 Water Street and check out their newly opened store.

Today the Vancouver Whitecaps revealed their new logo. It’s much more modern, clean, contemporary and “pro.” The reflected peaks can also be interpreted as V’s for Vancouver or W’s for Whitecaps.

What do you think?

After:

Before:

The old Google logo is about as the old as the internet, having gone through a few revisions it was still a little rough around their edges.

The new logo is a nice overdue improvement (in my opinion): just check out that nice subtle drop shadow, minimal bevelling and bright, web 2.0ish colors.

Also, If you try to save their logo on the search results page.. you will find that it is now part of a large sprite. Nice.

Celebrate 25 Years here

If you’re from Vancouver or if you’ve visited Vancouver, i’m sure you’ve noticed the art installations all around the city from  Vancouver Biennale.

I wanted to share one of the latest additions that i’ve noticed. It’s right here near the Cowie and Fox offices in Yaletown. Just down on Nelson street there’s a “concrete park” where this giant sculptural head rests.

It’s called Eros Bendato Scrippolato and is created by Igor Mitoraj from Poland/Italy.

These posters are on display  in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery.

They are from a series that Omega (http://www.omegawatches.com), who is the official time keeper of the Olympics, puts out called Great Moments in Time. Regardless of whether you love sports or not, there are lots of cool such things on display in Vancouver over the next few weeks while we host the 2010 Winter Olympics.
