TGIF!

And happy Chinese New Year! Lindsay is in Taos, New Mexico on a ski trip adventure, and although the snow in Brooklyn was kind of pretty, we’ll admit we’re totally jealous (for obvious reasons). In our ongoing office rearranging project, we’ve uncovered some serious gems, including Communication Arts annuals from 1983. Ah, what a year… This week, we also found out that the logo we designed for Greenpeace’s End the Age of Coal initiative has been selected to appear in LogoLounge Vol. 9! This edition was particularly competitive, with an international panel of acclaimed judges making selections from over 22,000 logo submissions. Needless to say, we’re so proud to have another feature in this renowned annual.

Around the Neighborhood

It appears that temperatures might inch up to something normal by the end of the weekend! Ring in the year of the lamb at Sunset Park’s annual Lunar New Year Celebration, featuring Chinese folk performances, the Lion dance, giveaways, and more. It’s all happening on Saturday (2/21) at the Sunset Park Recreation Center. On Sunday (2/22), check out Brewnity, where NYC home-brew clubs and stores will be coming together to share their beers at the Bell House starting at 1PM. If sampling local beers at a great price isn’t incentive enough, 100% of the proceeds will benefit City Harvest.

As always, connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Behance, and Dribbble. Stay warm this weekend!
