Take a swig with a Sigg

March 24th, 2008 by colorcubic

Sigg Bottle Switzerland

Sigg™ bottles are probably one of our favorite drinking bottles of all time. If you don’t already own one I would suggest picking one up. A few pros about why Sigg™ is the way to go over most other drinking bottles: The Sigg™ bottles are aluminum lined with an inner coating resistant to fruit acids and isotonic drinks, unlike most plastic drinking bottles that with excessive use begin to contaminate the beverage contained within it. Sigg™ also spent some good time on their brand identity (which for me makes it more enjoyable to drink out of). They also have a pretty crispy option if you’re a company or a collective of individuals, and you want to stylize or personalize your Sigg™ bottle. They give you the option to have your logo featured on their bottle. I believe it’s with a quantity of 20 or more ordered at a time, but don’t quote me on that as my memory doesn’t always serve me best.

Anyway, just thought we would share. :D

Peace,

Say goodbye to old prints

March 13th, 2008 by colorcubic

We’ve had a few inquiries about our prints going on sale. Unfortunately we usually only attempt to sell our prints at live music events we’re involved with in some way. Because we’ve been so preoccupied with redesigning / redeveloping colorcubic.com, as well as all of our current projects underway, we’re probably not going to be selling anything for a while. That and the fact that our online store isn’t up as of yet.

We were going to put up the store sooner, but we figured we’d wait for the new site to go live. At that point we’ll probably start selling our prints again, and this time making it more available than to just fellow Portlanders.

That being said, we have been rather discouraged about our older prints. Besides the event posters we’ve produced for “digital organics”, or “dis-order technology”, a lot of the concepts we’ve produced are more personal than anything. I’m sure as some of you have experienced, it’s easy to beat yourself up over trying to create something you’ll always be happy with. I guess what I’m trying to say is that we’re not very happy with any of our older prints, (say for a few), and so we might have to just say goodbye to those altogether.

I suppose if there’s a great enough demand we’ll start reproducing them again, but at this point they’ve been filed away in our cabinet of no return. We are however brainstorming newer concepts, and will be previewing them as soon as they’ve reached a place we’re happy with. More to come on that later.

Anyway, for now we’re off to photograph some beautiful flowers by flowerbud™. We’ll be sure to write more later today.
Peace,
