Office Snowball Fight

This year, the team at Barker Gray decided to offer some of the fun of a traditional northern hemisphere winter to their clients in the South who are baking in the heat of summer.

The ‘snowballs’ were made up of from studio waste paper. When unwrapped they revealed some of the unsuccessful ideas that didn’t quite make the cut – amongst other delicious treats.

The packaging was inspired by the English Victorian period and the charming imagery and language from that time.  In keeping with the era, the tub was gift-wrapped in simple brown paper and string before being delivered in bundles to our happy clients

Official 2014 Olympics Games Logo Revealed

We’ve waited—and we’ve even seen some early concepts—but today the official Sochi 2014 logo was unveiled in Russia.

"Developed by Interbrand in conjunction with Sochi’s own brand council, the new logo is simpler than anything we’ve seen in recent history. Stepping away from the traditional practice of incorporating an abstract cultural image (London 2012 excluded), Russia opted for an all typrographic treatment for the Winter Olympic Games in 2014.
