Let's Have a Toast

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since Rick, our Head of Production, left us. We threw together frozen margaritas on the Island to make a toast in honor of him.

Rick, you'll always be in our hearts.

Comedic Brandplay

Work is play. While this isn't always the case, the following examples show how branding can be immensely amusing- to designers and non-industry friends alike. Some of them are provocative; others are pretty adorable. However these attempts at comedic brandplay make you feel, it's important to remember that you feel something. The worst response, after all, is not laughter or hatred- it's apathy.

Disclaimer: Wallace Church doesn't have an opinion of which one crosses the line and which one is funny- that's for you to decide. However, we will say that all of these designers should be commended for their imagination and cleverness.
