Often times, our crew will visit the Chick-Fil-A near our studio for lunch and we are always treated with the most excellent customer service at this particular location. Seriously, the service balls out on that of the famous Dwarf House and Peachtree locations. It’s crazy to think that a little fast food restaurant could impress so greatly outside of the genre. It’s not to say that the other locations of Chick-Fil-A have bad customer service, but the East Point one is the spot. They bring your food to your table, take your trays from you when you’re done so you don’t have to get up, refill drinks for you, and do it all with a smile. Special orders? No problem. They even have fancy mood lighting to make it feel like you and your friends are sitting down for a holiday meal. Slow clap for Southern hospitality.
Jason Travis & Christina Lee of Purge came by our studios today to get the scoop on EC Design Co and We Are The Process. I couldn’t let them leave without snapping a pic! Thanks guys and keep up the good work over at Purge!

The new We Are The Process collection is available now in our online store. This season’s efforts were focused on building on the team concept in that we’re all together in representing the South (& America) in the best way possible. Another underlying theme that we’ve had since the inception of our line was that everything reaches a terminal point, thus the end of the process. In the past we’ve conveyed that message with references to film, heritage, & omens. This season, we used the buffalo as a metaphor for “The End”.
If you want to know more, check out this interview of us from H1GHER.com.
We’ve been spending a lot of time getting our Fall/Winter efforts together for PROCESS. We’ll have the new digs up online and in person at a few events (if you’re in ATL) very soon.
When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.
— Revelation 6:3-4
War (ΠΟΛΕΜΟΣ) is the newest release of the 4 Horse Men Series for the We Are The Process line. It’s #3 of 4 and if you have the last 2, you must get this one. Famine is coming soon.
War will be available on the Process online store soon.
Stranger Day is at it again a video for his new single, I’m Not Playin’. Remember in March when we brought the big homie down from Charlotte to play our 1st Anniversary party? We told you he was up to big things…

It’s so refreshing to see/hear an artist break molds and cross genres successfully. After hearing F**k You for the first time, I was hoping Cee Lo’s new album, The Lady Killer, would carry an old school feel and Cee Lo delievered the sound I was looking for on multiple tracks. Upon first listen, Satisfied, was instantly my new favorite song.
Pretty soon, you’ll see this graphic on the chests of the hardest pushers of dubstep in the land, the DJs of Atlanta Dubstep. Wherever they play, the thought is that they’ll be repping the hometown with pride. It’s great to see this collaboration finally come into fruition! We have HOME & AWAY colorways of this graphic tee that will be available soon. Stay connected on Twitter by following @atlantadubstep & @WeAreTheProcess.
As if his portfolio wasn’t extensive enough, Tinker Hatfield pushes the boundaries with the University of Oregon’s new basketball court design. I’m not surprised one bit with his though process and graphic result. There’s no denying the perks of being a student athlete at Oregon.
It’s always great to see big corporations like Coca-Cola take responsibility for the environment. The International Coastal Cleanup is a brand engagement program that emphasizes the impact that one person can have on saving our ocean and water ways around the globe. We were lucky enough to be brought on board by Alan Woodruff to help create the identity for this program. Jared Dalcourt (soon to be head of EC Design Co. Architecture) and I worked along side Alan to create everything from Posters to T-shirts for the ICC program.
Today, EA Sports announced the cancellation of their annual basketball game, NBA Elite 11 (formerly known as NBA Live). I’m super-bummed out by this decision for 2 reasons:
1) I’m a loyal EA Sports player. I’ve been a huge fan of the FIFA and Madden franchises over the years.
2) I was I was looking forward to picking up a copy of a game with one of my favorite players, Kevin Durant, on the cover.
The demo was buggy and it had horrible controls. I downloaded it and tried it out a few weeks back, but never experienced the hilarious glitch that this dude had, but I know I didn’t like it. Given that there’s no choice here, I’ll reluctantly defect to NBA 2K11 by 2KSports, who’s with me?
One of my favorite albums of all time, Weezer - Pinkerton, is being released tomorrow (November 2nd) on Geffen Records. The Pinkerton Deluxe Edition includes Pinkerton era B-sides, live recordings, acoustic versions, alternate versions, and unreleased tracks along with a remastered version of the original 10 songs. This is a must have for any early =w= fans.
You can have a taste of what’s included in this package with this 14-year old live recording from the UK:
Wine Shack is an upstart wine store located in Huntington, New York. EC took on this project a few month’s back as Ted Ullrich, our lead in NY, brought me on to work on the identity for this brand. Ted worked on an interactive wine-pairing system for the store itself along with other digital elements. Here’s a first look at the logo and business card. There are a lot of brand touchpoints to see and we’ll update as soon as we have more photo-documentation of the work.
If you’ve never eaten at Woody’s Famous Philadelphia Cheesesteaks in Midtown, you are missing out on one of Atlanta’s most unique dine-in spots. Not only are the cheesesteaks possibly the best in town, but I get a huge kick out of all the hand-painted signs and tabletops in this unassuming restaurant. More often than not, great looking typography is rendered by hand and brought into the computer afterwards (if necessary). Sometimes it is difficult to convince my students at Portfolio Center to stay out of the computer until their ideas have been realized with pencil and paper first. Damn y’all, stay off your MacBooks for a few minutes!

Ladies, there’s plenty to go around. Apologies go out to all the bros who are missing their @WeAreTheProcess gear. There’s plenty to go around. Visit WeAreTheProcess.com.
Belle and Sebatian are back after a 5-year break with their new album entitled, Write About Love. The first track, I Didn’t See It Coming, incorporates vocals from multiple group members which I’ve always enjoyed. This is my new early morning jam. Sweet and not too jarring: the perfect soundtrack to a snooty day of graphic design.

Last weekend I went to Texas to see my hometown Texas Rangers take on the Evil Empire (NY Yankees) in the ALCS. The Rangers had never won a home playoff game before and it was important for me to be there to witness history. One of my favorite moments from the weekend was this F-16 flyover of Rangers Ballpark in Arlington prior to the game on Friday night. Badass!
