I did my best to refrain from criticizing anyones work, ie. XEROX&rsquo;s new logo. When reporter Jennifer Collins arrived she took no time getting her equipment up and running. She had a microphone the size of a bazooka. I have never been interviewed before and thankfully I was able to kept my foot out of my mouth (another first). Our original interview took about an hour. Here are my official first 5 seconds of fame. (I now have 14 minutes and 55 seconds to go!)</p> <div><a target="_blank" id="marketplace/pm/2008/03/05/marketplace_cast2_20080305_64" class="listenStory" href="http://marketplace.publicradio.org/www_publicradio/tools/media_player/popup.php?name=marketplace/pm/2008/03/05/marketplace_cast2_20080305_64&amp;starttime=00:10:59.0&amp;endtime=00:15:03.0"><img alt="listen to drew and try not to fall asleep!" src="http://nicelogo.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/speaker-face.jpg" /></a></div> <div><b><a target="_blank" id="marketplace/pm/2008/03/05/marketplace_cast2_20080305_64" class="listenStory" href="http://marketplace.publicradio.org/www_publicradio/tools/media_player/popup.php?name=marketplace/pm/2008/03/05/marketplace_cast2_20080305_64&amp;starttime=00:10:59.0&amp;endtime=00:15:03.0">Listen to this story - CLICK HERE!</a></b></div> <p><b><br /> </b></p>http://www.loopd.com/members/nicelogo/blog.aspx?resourceId=a2b29ad5-280e-4318-ab02-30d7b4b41ef4Thu, 15 May 2008 07:00:29 GMTRasta Taco now open in Capo Beach!<div class="entrytitle"> <h2>Rasta&nbsp;Taco now open!<br /> </h2> </div> <p><font color="#ff0000">Rasta Taco is located at: 26881 Camino De Estrella, <br /> Capistrano Beach. 949-496-TACO (8227)</font></p> <p><a href="http://nicelogo.com/bxc" title="BXC design firm logo portfolio"><img src="http://nicelogo.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/rasta-taco-art1.jpg" alt="restaurant logo graphics and branding example, business card, signage, menu, website, vehicle wraps" /></a></p> <p><a href="http://nicelogo.com/bxc" title="rasta taco truck wrap logo graphics design photo examples"><img src="http://nicelogo.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/rastataco-truck.jpg" alt="rasta taco truck wrap logo graphics design photo examples" /></a></p> <p>BXC designed the truck graphics and logo for the restaurant. <br /> I&rsquo;d like to see this get across the border.

Nixon, if you don&rsquo;t already know, is a men&rsquo;s and women&rsquo;s action sports lifestyle accessories brand and borders on the mainstream luxury goods markets. Unlike most brands that expand their tentacles towards mainstream consumers Nixon remains the coolest watch on the scene and committed to the core customer. We&rsquo;re so stoked. It&rsquo;s not every day you get to work with such tight products, table top photography, athlete portraits and materials. BXC helped with layout, redesigned grids and were the heavy wrists for final pre-press production on both US and Euro versions. The catalog was printed beautifully at D.M. Steele in Fullerton, Ca. I&rsquo;ll add more credit as they come in.
