Countdown To Igloo Village
We received our official Magic Igloo Makers this morning, just in the nick of time. We’re pretty excited to see the final product, and even more excited that in 7 short days we’re finally going to put them to good use. If you don’t believe me, check out these excited faces!
Making Igloo Magic - Feb 5-7 at the Forks
No, we’re not talking about cuddling up to your loved one in an igloo (although it is your choice). We’re talking a great winter product and an even better charitable cause. In collaboration with the Magic Igloo Maker we will be spending 48 hours in an igloo to raise money for the Children’s Hospital Foundation. Originally this event was to be held in December but due to frightfully cold temps, we had to postpone until this weekend. If you haven’t heard of the Magic Igloo Maker yet, you will soon. The Magic Igloo Maker is a specially designed plastic mould that makes interlocking snow blocks to create big, strong, safe igloos easily and quickly. It works will all types of snow and can be built by just about anyone regardless of age.
Keep in touch this weekend through our neuhaus facebook page, at twitter.com/neuhausdesign or right here on our neusblog. If you’d prefer to donate online rather than in person, you can go to goodbear.mb.ca and click on the Making Igloo Magic link!
Typographic Tuesdays
Pretty much everything we say is an exaggeration.
See What Tomorrow Brings
I’ve never been a big fan of The Tragically Hip and, up until recently, I would’ve been hard pressed to name any of their songs. However, a few weeks ago while camping, my friends
Kirk and Melissa enlightened me with their version of Wheat Kings. I don’t know if it was the ambience of the guitar and the campfire, or if it was just the fact that Gordon Downie wasn’t singing, but I fell in love with that song. Callum and Tyler were lucky enough to sneak into
the Centennial Concert Hall last night to experience the show. Even though they didn’t
perform Wheat Kings, I’m a wee bit jealous I wasn’t there. Click here to see more pics of
last night’s performance.
A Dash of Colour
If you’ve been to our office at all in the last 8 years you’ll know that the walls have never changed from their original white colour. After tossing around the idea for a number of years, we finally decided to roll up our sleeves and freshen the place up a bit. We didn’t want to go too crazy with the colour choice, so the consensus was to stick to Neuhaus grey. It’s amazing what a dash of colour can do for a space. We have a few more improvements we’re working on so check back soon.
Parking with Authority
Keep your eyes peeled for these Neuhaus-designed parking permits, coming to a dashboard near you. Soon to be launched along with a marketing campaign and online contest, these pre-purchased parking permits will make digging for change a thing of the past.
Free As a Bird
Congratulations to Frances Tester, GM of Garden City Shopping Centre for achieving retirement-dom. She’ll be missed. As a final token of our appreciation for years of being a great client, we’ve designed a fun invitation for her send-off. It’s a surprise though, so don’t tell her.
Baby Turns One Scoop
You only turn one once. Such is the case for our newest future Neuhaus Design-er, Lochlan Beattie. As an obvious attempt at trying to woo her at a young age, we’ve designed her first birthday party invite for her. If this invite doesn’t sweeten the deal, the ice cream surely will.
Neuhaus: Daily Misspellings
Welcome to an ongoing feature on the Neusblog. We realize our name is tough to say, never mind spell, so we’d like to share with you some common botch-jobs of this proud studio.
