We were delighted when Columbus, Ohio festival, Comfest, approached us this year about designing a small card with the goal of attracting more volunteers to the event. In the past, the cards were simple and utilitarian but did not speak to the playful spirit of the festival. Additionally, our client was limited by the quantity they could produce due to the higher costs associated with using a retail chain as a print vendor.

During the photo shoot for the Bike to Work Challenge posters we also took a few minutes to ask cyclists why they rode their bikes. See what they had to say in our latest video feature:

Late in 2009 Yay Bikes undertook a brand and web site refresh, led with a logo designed by Fulcrum Creatives' Liz Samuelson. Taking inspiration from the organization's playful title, the logo features a set of high rise handle bars and a familiar bike silhouette. Yay Bikes! is an online resource for cycling information, advocacy, and community. Take a look at their new web site at yaybikes.com.

Our friend and client Ray holds up his new favorite shirt (we hope!) for a cycling event he helps organize here in Columbus called "Bike the Cbus." The event encourages people to explore unfamiliar urban landscapes by bike. The intent is to help raise community awareness and promote a healthy lifestyle and environment.
