A few months ago we posted about some BC Dairy Posters we created for their annual Milk Slam Campaign. The posters have since been featured in the first edition of a Shanghai magazine called Touch.
A nice little flash back. Great use of grids and colour.
A collection of vintage ads. Times sure have changed.

If you haven’t heard already, NBC has decided to get rid of the classic peacock icon that it’s had for years.
What do you think? Good or bad move?
We’ve seen the little guy transform over the years from illustrations to animation, here’s a few samples:
Letterheads… you know, that piece of paper people use to represent themselves, or their company via snail mail or fax. Sure, not too many people actually use them in 2011, (atleast in actual print format), but I do think they’re making a comeback, along with letter writing, but that’s a whole other topic of interest that needs to be discussed in the near future.
This wonderful little gem of a website shows off letterheads from the 1900’s, right through to the 80’s and into the 2000’s. It’s a great source of inspiration if you feel like your letterhead designs are in need of a refresh.
Ever wonder what Marylin Monroes Letterhead looked like? Or Dr. Suess?

Pantone annouced the colour of the year this morning. With much anticipation, every designer was trying to guess what it would be, on facebook and twitter. While I wasn’t too surprised with the choice, I was thinking it would be more of a rich red instead of being on the pink side of things. For now I honestly can’t stand the colour, but maybe it’ll start to grow on me as the year moves along.

Cowie and Fox recently created a High School and College targeted Milk Campaign called Milk Slam. For 2010/2011 we went for a simple and clean graphic. Eye catching neon colours and use of pop culture icons are sure to be a hit with the kids these days.
Last month Cowie and Fox contributed to an art charity event, called Art to Boot. We had to “art up” a pair of Blundstone boots and they’d go up for auction, money raised went to I Heart Van Art. It was a collaborative effort with our Creative Director, David Manzl and Senior Graphic Designer Nicole Phillips.

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.
