We kick corporate identity butt! Well, American Corporate Identity thinks so. We received our certificates from ACI, an organization known for their esteemed showcase of the best corporate ID in the US. They sent a letter saying we won, but these bad boys officially acknowledge Paragon Design Group as a “distinguished winner” in their 24th annual competition. The category of Trademarks and Logo’s is where we scooped up three awards for logos designed for our clients Halo Model’s & Talent Group, Boot Headquarters, and Ditalia.
Our web technique also got a “W” in the Websites category for the design of Ditalia’s site.
ACI comes out with a 320-page book highlighting the winners of this design competition in which our work will be published. It hits bookstores in November, so we’ll be looking out for our copy around then. Now if we could just sharpen our nun chuck skills, total awesomeness would be attained.

When retail giant Ikea discovered that 20% of their Danish customers were traveling to their stores via bicycle, they teamed up with bicycle company Velorbis to offer eco-friendly bike-trailers to their customers. These can be rented at the store, and since most things Ikea are flat-packed anyway, they’re perfect for hauling home purchases.

I was just made aware that the Sustainable Graphic Design widget is now available as a free download from the Apple site. (I guess it figures that a designer’s tool is only available for the mac). Becky Green of 57 Design and Illustration, based in Queensland Australia, developed this great informational (and hopefully inspirational) tool. In her words:
“My target audience was primarily graphic designers seeking quick reference about the environmental impact of selected design and print methods, so the widget may be a little basic for members of this group, but it’s important to spread this knowledge to as many people as possible anyway.”
check it out for yourself.

Two nights ago at the Charles Landry talk, I met one of our newest neighbors. And get this… he’s Green too? I mean literally…Lawrence Green, owner of an environmentally friendly janitorial service called… you guessed it Green Sweep.
Lawrence is the one on the right
As far as I know, it’s the 1st of it’s kind in these here parts and I’m glad he picked our fair city to start his new venture.
Show him some love Savannah!

To say that Charles Landry is excited about city building is an understatement. He entertained and informed a standing room only crowd last night at the Trustees Gardens’ Charles H.Morris Center with stories, case studies and ideas from cities around the world. Interestingly enough for a talk on urban planning, charts, graphs, figures and statistics weren’t center stage. Instead, we were treated to a rapid-fire delivery of remarkable photos from his travels as he passionately argued for the necessity of embracing the Creative Economy.
