(Running into it at Jamba Juice)

A couple months ago, Intrepid Agency, a local and prestigious PR firm contacted me to do some freelance design work. Emphasis on free. The project consisted of a logo, website, and various items (buttons, shirts, banners, etc.) to help Save the Sugar House Fireworks for the 4th of July. A long standing tradition went away last year due to budget cuts and one man, Scott Workman, wanted to bring it back. When I was called into this project, only $20,000 had been raised out of the $75,000 needed to prove he can put on the show. I have to be honest, I wasn’t very optimistic. But after I handed off the files, Intrepid went to intense work. A lot of big name companies located in the Sugar House district supported the cause and with the community donating and purchasing buttons, lets just say, on with the show! And there are already funds saved and ready for the 2011 show!

It was a really neat experience to run into my logo around town and see it on the news. And it was amazing to see all the support throughout the community. Wish I was there to see the turn out of the largely attended event of the 4th of July holiday, but I hear it was fantastic!

Oh and I can’t forget a huge shout out to Ryan Gregson for his time to help code the website. Really couldn’t have done it without you!

Check out the video from FOX13 News. The logo is placed in the corner (what is that called?) with the anchorman and you can see it in front of the cash registers at Whole Foods one minute in.
