Gargantuan hail yesterday at the shop. Power outages, too. All hell is breaking loose.

As you may or may not know, Spunk updated Augsburg Fortress‘s brand identity a few years ago. We hadn’t been in their downtown office in awhile and found out yesterday that they recently spruced up parts of their interior with a vinyl wall covering featuring the refreshed brand logo and artwork. Needless to say, it was pretty fun for us to see! (I look like I’m having fun, right?)

Go Equal Exchange!
Go Principle Six!
Go Willy Street Co-op!

Goooo Bananas!

What’s better than playing Air Guitar? Playing Air Guitar dressed as a Banana, of course! And that’s exactly what went down at Willy Street Co-op’s Annual Meeting and Party last Thursday. We sadly couldn’t be in our neighbor state to go B-A-N-A-N-A-S, but we did get to design the poster for this a’peel’ing challenge! And, as always, mad props to Luke Mills for being such a badass banana.

We recently had the pleasure of branding our neighbors, 3 Tiers Bakery Bistro, and Craig and Lucas got down to it installing the new graphics on their windows today. It’s worth it to stop by and check ’em out, perhaps as you savor the highly-recommended and wonderfully-paired Flying Dog IPA and Meatloaf Sandwich…

This just in – the Joia website went live today! Check it out here!

Lately we’ve had the true joia of partnering with Boundary Waters Brands to help name and brand their new line of all natural soda. Joia All Natural Soda is a tantalizing combination of fruits, herbs and spices that creates layers of intensely fresh flavor for a wonderfully refreshing beverage. The four flavors offered are Grapefruit Chamomile & Cardamom, Lime Hibiscus & Clove, Blackberry Pomegranate & Ginger, and Pineapple Coconut & Nutmeg… and let us just say, they are all as good as they sound!

Check out this recent write-up in the Southwest Journal.

And don’t forget to try Joia for yourself!! Find it at The Wedge, Linden Hills Co-op, French Meadow Bakery, Cuppa Joe, Whole Foods or Lunds.

Well it’s official – McNally Smith is the first paying Big Table Studio client! They commissioned BTS to design this poster for their Bringin’ It Back Music Festival in Mears Park on July 9th from 3-10pm. And guess what… the music fest is free! No good sense in passing that up, now is there?

Thanks to McNally Smith for being awesome.

The first random user of the Spunk patio chairs!

Have you seen these at any of the Nice Ride kiosks yet? Well soon you can see them in the Mayor’s office, too! R.T. just requested prints of this poster we designed in collaboration with Peace Coffee, Birchwood Cafe, Dero, and the good man himself. Thanks Mayor R.T. Rybak! You just made our week.
