Coming Full Circle

Vineyard Community Church was looking for a way to effectively communicate change as they launched their new process for connecting and developing their community. The opportunity arose to give their new process, Full Circle, and their welcome materials a more creative and engaging presence than had been done before.

Another Interesting Tidbit From Our History

Today, after I searched our former name, Bean Graphics, I found this article dated back at least 16 years about a Happy Meal project our firm worked on for McDonald's and Nintendo. Just a little fact from our illustrious history.

Hey, McDonalds and Nintendo if you are out there reading this, there's a lot more from us where that project came from. We'd love to do some more for you.

Personalized Ads From Mini

RFID (radio frequency identification) technology has made it possible for billboards to identify approaching Mini Cooper drivers by using a signal from a radio chip embedded in their key fobs, and deliver a personalized message to them.

The messages are based on questionnaires that owners filled out: "Mary, moving at the speed of justice," if Mary is a lawyer, or "Mike, the special of the day is speed," if Mike is a chef. Read the full NYTimes article. Via Advertising/Design Goodness

New Music: Loney, Dear

Every now and then some new music that blows me away is brought to my attention. This is one of those times. Yesterday, an urgent email, followed by a phone call from a friend of mine, brought Loney, Dear to my attention as well as this great tune from Loney, Dear via Sub Pop.

Two Great Coaches, One Amazing Purpose

As we are just days away from what could be one of the most memorable Super Bowls in history, it only seems appropriate to take a minute to look at the two men who helped lead these two teams, the Chicago Bears and the Indianapolis Colts, to this great stage. Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith have both proven themselves to be great coaches, but what they would probably like you to focus on more, is who they look to for guidance and inspiration, Jesus Christ. Both men, coaches and friends, look to God and give Him the glory first when put in the spotlight. But what is even more incredible, both men get to coach together in front of millions of spectators this Sunday, and they won't be shy, when one team is the victor, to tell the world whom they believe helped them get to this place. Not only that, but both men have joined together to start a website called Beyond the Ultimate.org. They want everyone to know that they believe there is more to life than just living.

Here is a brief statement made by both coaches, and will be placed as a full page ad for Beyond the Ultimate.org this Friday in USA Today.

"On Sunday, one of us will be a world champion. We may have reached the ultimate goal for a football coach, but we know that there’s more to life than football. Even when you have achieved the ultimate, something better lies beyond.

As pro football coaches, we are also men of faith. A faith that drives us every day to seek excellence. A faith that comforts us even in the worst of times. A faith that assures us that when we are walking the sideline, we are walking with God.

We would love to tell you more. Visit www.BeyondTheUltimate.org for stories and videos from real people who have discovered that there’s more to life than just living."
