PLAY at the Broadmoor

We are in the process of finishing up the design for a new restaurant, PLAY at The Broadmoor, 

in Colorado Springs. The Broadmoor Hotel is one of the oldest resort hotels in the US, 

dating back to 1891. 

That is part of the reason why we decided to evoke the gaslight style, an American design style from the late 1800s. The main part of the logo is a circle to visually reference the bowling alleys attached to the restaurant. Because of the name of the restaurant, we decided to PLAY with the logo and create a slightly different logo for the different usages.

JFF Equality Logo on Chinese Blogs

I was pleasantly surprised by how many Chinese design blogs posted a story about my Jewish Film Festival "Equality" logo. The one thing that really surprised me was an image, unfamiliar to me, of Zagreb's mayor Milan Bandic. What was even more surprising was that the image was altered. Someone placed the logo "behind" the mayor and forgot to delete the type that was over his hand.

Below are some links to these Chinese design blogs.
