Pizzicare, Reginelli's, Theo's, Crescent Pie and Sausage, Midway Pizza, Slice, Dough Bowl, Louisiana Pizza Kitchen, Ancora and PIzza Delicious, that is.

Participants grabbed a pizza passport at any of the participating locations, visited each, rated their favorites and turned in their completed passports for the chance to win Jazz Fest tickets! It was a smashing success and the winners were crowned in the following categories: Favorite Slice, Hand Tossed, 504ness, Deep Dish, Thin Crust, Creative Pizza, Beer List, Service, Sauce, Atmosphere, Specialty Pizzas, Community Partner, Toppings and Overall Greatness Look out for the next war to break out! http://www.thinkabig.com/Hogs-for-the-Cause http://www.thinkabig.com/following/thinkabig.com/Hogs-for-the-Cause Thu, 03 May 2012 02:26:14 +0000 THINKA new orleans graphic design and branding firm. 719774 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/IMG_1269.jpg" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/IMG_1269_o.jpg" data-mid="16475527" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/IMG_1254_.jpg" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/IMG_1254__o.jpg" data-mid="15234340" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/Hogs8_6.jpg" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/Hogs8_6_o.jpg" data-mid="3389751" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/Hogs2.jpg" width="375" height="500" width_o="375" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/Hogs2_o.jpg" data-mid="3385052" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/Hogs9_5.jpg" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/Hogs9_5_o.jpg" data-mid="16477375" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/Hogs7.jpg" width="667" height="500" width_o="667" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/Hogs7_o.jpg" data-mid="3385413" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/Hogs4.jpg" width="391" height="500" width_o="391" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/Hogs4_o.jpg" data-mid="3385056" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/Hogs2011_Poster_web.jpg" width="340" height="500" width_o="340" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/719774/Hogs2011_Poster_web_o.jpg" data-mid="4760295" border="0" align="left"/> The 2012 Hogs for the Cause extravaganza was even larger and hoggier than 2011! Scroll through to see work from both years. This New Orleans-based non-profit combating pediatric brain cancer raises thousands of dollars every year at their annual High on the Hog cook-off. These funds benefit support services for families affected by pediatric brain cancer. All design and brand representations were derived from the newly established brand vision: Hogs for the Cause believes every child deserves a healthy, happy childhood. Jorge Menes generously donated his time and talent for a photo shoot with the kids.

The father and son team at TAG also asked us to do a redesign for the parent company — TAG Studio. When we met with Taylor Galyean about the site's core message, he didn't hesitate; these spas are carefully planned, with spa guests and spa operators in mind. TAG Studio's been designing top of the line spas since 1986. Their site speaks volumes about their integrity and expertise. http://www.thinkabig.com/TAG-Shower http://www.thinkabig.com/following/thinkabig.com/TAG-Shower Sun, 29 Jan 2012 02:31:48 +0000 THINKA new orleans graphic design and branding firm. 2086840 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/2086840/tagshower.jpg" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/2086840/tagshower_o.jpg" data-mid="10395899" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/2086840/tagcards_fixed-copyweb.jpg" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/2086840/tagcards_fixed-copyweb_o.jpg" data-mid="13673583" border="0" align="left"/> A TAG shower is like parking a Mercedes in your bathroom, except more useful.

A truly unique shop, Rare Cuts sources its product directly from small farms and ranches, as well as a couple of local wholesalers, and the meats on offer are generally only available in restaurants. The quality of the product and the dedication of Henry and his team quickly became the heart + soul of the brand platform. The project was large in scope. Together, the team produced the brand elements, applied them to business cards, banners, in-store communications, and a new online market. The largest site in our portfolio to date, rarecuts.com was an exciting challenge. Henry's team included the skills of Mark Westguard, who programmed a site that includes e-commerce, a host of recipes, a "steak matrix" (it's awesome, try it), and plenty of great information. We also outfitted their twitter page @RareCuts! Explore the site at rarecuts.com or stop in at the flagship store on the corner Nashville + Magazine to enjoy the Rare Cuts experience. http://www.thinkabig.com/TOD-booklet-for-John http://www.thinkabig.com/following/thinkabig.com/TOD-booklet-for-John Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:23:32 +0000 THINKA new orleans graphic design and branding firm. 2086887 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/2086887/PortfolioShots_Pidge---142.jpg" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/2086887/PortfolioShots_Pidge---142_o.jpg" data-mid="13252985" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/2086887/PortfolioShots_Pidge---131.jpg" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/2086887/PortfolioShots_Pidge---131_o.jpg" data-mid="13253013" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/2086887/PortfolioShots_Pidge---154.jpg" width="670" height="500" width_o="670" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/25118/2086887/PortfolioShots_Pidge---154_o.jpg" data-mid="13253015" border="0" align="left"/> The TOD Group designs transit-oriented developments (or TODs).

They came to us in 2010 for a cute little site to match. The site included the dine-in and catering menus for reference and provided a hub for the online overnight pickup system. Clickable info-eggs from the homepage allowed you to explore your breakfast options. We also provided a place to sip on the Huevos Twitter feed via the tweet mug, and a Facebook toast for the latest specials. It was great fun and we hope for a Huevos comeback at some point.
