The Swoosh – When. Why?
For many years “Just Do It” seemed to be taking a backseat to the primary totem for the #Nike brand – Carolyn Davidson’s now massively famous and recognizable design the “Swoosh”.
The Swoosh often appears solo and in many instances, with no Just Do It in sight.
While the complimentary pair never completely went away, this image on a shirt reminds me of a more vintage feel.
I’d love to hear how Nike determines when, where, how, the pair, or only the Swoosh, show up to play.

Tualatin National Wildlife Refuge Visit
A few pictures from today’s walk around the Tualatin River National Wildlife Refuge.

Good Amazon Read –
…almost half of all product searches start on Amazon rather than Google.
…Amazon is the dominant concern in the advertising industry.

History of Advertising – PDX Edition
I’ve been doing some work at Cathedral Park Place lately and one of the most inspiring signs is in the parking lot. A welcome left over from the time when Columbia Sportswear’s HQ was based there. So cool to see the history of advertising in Portland. #pdx #inspired #creative #cathedralparkplace
