<p>As part of the collaborative effort to brand the Saanich Peninsula and celebrate the uniqueness of our region, Holy Cow was honoured to be asked to create the new Peninsula logo. Reflecting the intersection of land and sea, the logo showcases the pride we have in our diverse island community.

<p>Today, we're collectively oohing and awing over Nike's new short film 'Make it Count' shot by Casey Neistat. You might remember Casey's other viral video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzE-IMaegzQ" target="_blank">Bike Lanes</a>&nbsp;- a humorous rub against NYPD for ticketing bikers. Seems Casey was asked to make a video for Nike to highlight their new ad campaign &amp; Twitter hashtag <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/search/%23makeitcount" target="_blank">#makeitcount</a> - and instead of spending the budget on slick production, he took the money and did all he could in 10 days. And, all he could do in 10 days is truly something to behold. The stripped down spot places the product - the Nike Fuelband Fitness Tracker - in the backseat while we travel with Casey and his buddy around the world. It's pretty cool to see a brand successfully make a Twitter hashtag the hero of a campaign.&nbsp;Did we notice the product? No. Did we need to? No. We felt an honest connection with Casey's exprience, with the meme 'Make it Count' and with the brand.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>New logo brings warm welcome for the Arctic Service Corps</title><id>http://holycowcom.com/index/2012/1/25/new-logo-brings-warm-welcome-for-the-arctic-service-corps.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://holycowcom.com/index/2012/1/25/new-logo-brings-warm-welcome-for-the-arctic-service-corps.html"/><author><name>Julie</name></author><published>2012-01-26T00:31:00Z</published><updated>2012-01-26T00:31:00Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><div id="squarespace-slideshow-wrapper-1323473018"><input type="hidden" id="squarespace-slideshow-params-1323473018" value="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" /><script type="text/javascript">YUI().use("*", function(Y) {Y.on("domready", function() {Y.startGallerySlideShow("squarespace-slideshow-params-1323473018");});});</script></div></p>
<p><strong>"</strong>Holy Cow did a great job converting our musings into an evocative image, depicting the heart of the Arctic Circle and the focus of our humanitarian work.&nbsp;Clean, simple and awesome.</p>
<p>Your suggestion/admonition/prodding about our getting on Twitter really did pay off.</p>
<p>The vast majority of contacts we made on Twitter were requests for more information &ndash; which gave us opportunities to further promote public awareness and our mission. We also received cash donations via CanadaHelps &amp; by cheques; offers of volunteer help; enquiries for interviews from a national TV broadcaster and an independent newspaper chain; offer from a church group in Saskatchewan interested in supporting our work; and, an expression of interest from an iconic Canadian singer to collaborate with us.&nbsp;</p>
<p>These enquiries do hold great potential upon which to build our organization. Thanks again, Holy Cow!"</p>
