See How We Roll (Up) In 2010!

banner1Banner stands are a quick, clean and simple marketing tool to use at trade shows, conferences or even in a retail environment.  Inexpensive stands combine functionality with attractive design, creating high visibility displays that can be deployed in seconds. They offer an outstanding solution for distribution of display graphics to multiple locations. Banner stands are lightweight (most weighing under ten pounds) and are delivered in a practical nylon carry bag for easy transport and storage.  They come in a variety of flavors (1-sided, 2-sided, scrolling, with lights, without lights), costs, sizes  and materials.  For a unique display experience, use multiple banners showing a common theme.  Bullpen can not only help you find the banner that’s right for you, we can create a design that freezes your audience in their tracks.  Contact Bullpen today for all of your trade show needs.

To logo? Or to let go?

bullpen-logos

You may have noticed the change in the Bullpen logo this year. As much love and respect as we have for the game of baseball (hence the bullpen reference) it was time to move on to something different while accessing areas for improvement. For instance, the way the old logo was laid out made it unclear to some that the name was comprised of 2 words, not one word bunched together. The narrow, horizontal shape was also sometimes limiting when it came to smaller imprint areas. Also, we wanted to move away from baseball analogies, so the flaming baseball would no longer serve a purpose. And finally, it was just about that time to freshen the brand, launch a new website (coming soon!), and get a little bit more sophisticated. And besides, it gives us an opportunity to write a blog post on the topic—logos ARE our business! Speaking of blog post…

It’s Hip to be Square

Think outside the bottle!  I have to admit that when several of us saw this bottled water, it stopped us in our tracks because we thought it was a new vodka or some other liquor being introduced.  It just goes to show you that the best ideas are old ideas with a twist! This square bottle design clearly stands out because of its unique shape.

Sunflower Hulls and Old Newspapers

So Bullpen got this sample in the mail – and it’s crazy!  It’s actually hanging on my office wall as I type.  One of our manufacturers now makes a frame – yes, just a normal picture frame – that is made out of recycled sunflower hulls!  I kid you not!  It even smells like them! 

Recycled Frame Made Out of Sunflower Hulls

The manufacturer calls it “Dakota Burl.”  Apparently that is supposed to be more seductive than “mashed up seeds.” ; )  I like it, though!  The patterning does resemble burled wood.  It’s hanging on my wall due to the sheer novelty. =)   

The same manufacturer has another really cool item – a set of coffeetable coasters made from “biocomposite” – which is nothing more than recycled newspapers! 

They’re elegant and mod – they totally remind me of a San Francisco loft.
