Blue Point Brewery gets a new look

In addition to a hilarious spot, Blue Point Brewery also has a great refresh including print and packaging. The tone is definitely not taking itself seriously, and has a very fun low keyness about it. It’s also quite offbeat. Good stuff. Makes me want to try one. Hm..wonder if they have it out here in L.A?

Helsinki Region Transport has some sexy new card readers

Helsinki Region Transportation has some new card readers that are touch sensitive or perfect for groups. This print (and French headlines) put the concept over the sensual top, reminding me of perfume ads. But it also makes sense conceptually, as the new card readers are from France. Very silly. I love it. I can’t imagine any government transportation company doing anything like this in the states. But it just goes to show you that there’s no such thing as a boring client. You can read more info about it on HSL’s website.

Nice use of art direction here although not every teenager who gives birth has it done as a C-section.

PIRCH Home Retail Showroom gets cheeky with tastemakers

This May, PIRCH will open a 32,000 sq. ft., three-floor, showroom on the corner of Broome and Lafayette. PIRCH, for those who don’t know, is a luxury appliance retailer that allows you to try out the products in store, creating an experience for the shopper that is unlike any other. Believe me, I’d be way more inclined to buy a Miele oven and dishwasher if I could make dinner and do the washing up as a trial run. Actually that’s not true. When I was doing post-production at my last gig, the production company had a Miele dishwasher I was contemplating on stealing. But I digress.

Fotolia – The Bold type only leading european stock campaign

I love the sarcasm here. I love that the long-running sentences manages to pack in both American and European stereotypes with tongue firmly planted in cheek, while name-dropping drool-worthy designer items carefully painting a picture in your mind that corresponds to what’s described. I love that the response to a photo-agency brief is a campaign without photos.
