It was two years ago EXACTLY when Replace was honored to design the updated Geek Squad Logo. That is a project of EXTREME HIGH reverence to all of the Replace design dorks. Today we get to announce the new Geek Squad Badge that was completely designed and Illustrated here at Replace. The Geek Squad Badge is an icon of protection, security, and technical prowess. Updating this cultural icon is a big big deal to us. We hope you love it. We sure love Geek Squad. Lots and Lots. Enjoy! – Jeff Johnson, Replace Inc.

Who can beat that. The owner, Josh, has been a friend and and advocate for great design and a great bike community for years. Go on down and party it up! Northern Style. – Jeff Johnson

On the Cover of the City Pages this week. Also – with a GREAT shot of the Touring Van we designed for him. In my 48 years, Dean is the first political candidate for which I have designed. This is no small thing – it’s not like I haven’t been asked. I first designed for Dean and his family back in 1993: An historical survey book for Phillips Distillery. Dean is my age, exactly. We didn’t know it at the time, but while I was scanning old Phillips Liquor labels on my Quadra 900, Dean was climbing the rafters of old Phillips warehouses to GET those labels for me. I am still proud to be designing with Dean. He is precisely what Minnesota needs right now. He’s already my Congressman of Awesome-town. – Jeff Johnson

More positive Vibes and Happy Holidays from the http://replaceeverything.com/ universe. We just cut our first check to our great partners at the Center for the Victims of Torture. These folks do HERCULEAN work for the people that are healing from torture and victimization. And the best part is YOU gave them this funding from purchasing cool design products from Replace Everything. 50% of all profits go to CVT and 4 other great non profits. Big thanks to CVT and to brother Dan Woychick – the MPLS design dude that figured out the tech and the design weirdness that makes this initiative possible. Thanks Dan! And check out https://www.lovemplsparks.org/ to see Dan’s stuff. He sells some of our gear there too – because he’s cool like that. Happy Holidays from the Replace folks!!!

Brother Cory Loven nails it once again. The mighty design dork Podcast “Tangents” is back up and running. He was righteous enough to stop by the Replace studio last week and record this new episode for the debut of Season Two. Proud to be the Show. Long may the Tangent flow.
