An Afternoon with Bud

bud

Once Geoff got over his fear of Elephant trunks sniffing him in random places, we ended up with a pretty successful photo scouting mission for an upcoming shoot. Bud’s a pretty smart and friendly guy, and played nice all for just a few carrots. Go pay him a visit next time you’re at Grant’s Farm in St. Louis!

Two Sites to be Included in Upcoming AIGA National Design Annual and Exhibit

Dan Flavin & The Light Project

We’ve just been notified that two web sites we’ve designed for the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts in St. Louis — Dan Flavin: Constructed Light & The Light Project — are to be included in the AIGA National Awards for 2009! The category for our winning selection – Educational and Nonprofit: Non-ecommerce sites.

“365: AIGA Annual Design Competitions” make a definitive statement on the quality of communication design in North America this year. The survey of selections is published in AIGA’s online design archives; published in a book that is distributed as an authoritative chronicle of current design; and exhibited in AIGA’s New York gallery on Fifth Avenue.

This competition extends a legacy that began more than 90 years ago and is widely recognized as the most selective statement on design excellence today.

We’re very excited to publicly announce the launch of MYOS (pronounced mee-ohs). For many months now, the interactive team at TOKY has been working to build and launch a smart content management solution that allows the most flexibility for your site. We’ve been disappointed by existing CMS solutions that limit the creation of truly unique online experiences. With MYOS, you can now have an easy-to-use content-managed site that enables custom design and real brand differentiation.

Baileys’ Chocolate Bar Ale Package Design

Baileys Chocolate Bar Chocolate Ale

Now available: Baileys’ Chocolate Bar Chocolate Ale (distributed by O’Fallon Brewery). We love this beer! And we’re not just saying that because we designed the packaging for it. Stop by the Chocolate Bar to try this on tap, or stop by a few local St. Louis retailers to take it home. Be on the lookout for upcoming wider distribution.

Visit Grayhawk MO

Grayhawk

Grayhawk

TOKY has recently launched a site for Grayhawk. Grayhawk is a 1,800-acre private lakefront property tucked away in one of the most beautiful corners of historic Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri. Upcoming updates to the site will include an in-depth exploration of the map of properties and photography.

Users of the site are also able to pull up the property information, maps and directions easily on a mobile device, so TOKY developed a custom site for the iPhone as well as a version for other mobile devices. Visitors to grayhawkmo.com on a mobile device are redirected to the appropriate site.
