New Iowa Western Branding and Campaign

The new logo, as I type hasn't been updated on the website, but does appear on the new Iowa Western TV spots that have started to run. From the new logo, it looks like Iowa Western is trying to drop the "CC" from their name. Along with the new university logo Iowa Western updated the Reiver atheletic's logo as well. I was not able to find any information on who designed the new branding and identity nor who created and executed the campaign.

Along with the new logos Iowa Western has two new TV spots that hightlights all of the majors and programs they offer as "What will you become" all under the  theme of "The word is waiting."

Oxide Rolls Out 2012 Maha Music Festival Logo and Website

Oxide has launched the 2012 Maha Music Festival website with new logo and identity. The grungy, black and white look is carried out through the design of the one pager, smooth scroll site. The background of the logo is even explain on the site with a quote from Drew Davies. VISIT SITE

Maha Music Festival is about a pride of place. It’s uniquely Omaha — founded and run by people deeply rooted in our city, committed to adding a healthy dose of independent music and arts to the city’s robust cultural mix.

 

When Oxide Design Co. partnered with Maha to develop a new visual identity for the festival, we set out to capture all of that: pride, place, and independence. And we found it in the great chief of the Maha tribe, Chief Blackbird. The Maha were the most powerful Native American tribe in the Great Plains — a tribe whose name inspired our city’s, and then our festival’s. Oxide developed a modern symbol for the Chief that hints at the visual style of the Plains Indians, but is still pure rock n’ roll.
