PRINTed: B+Co. will be featured in the 2016 PRINT Regional Design Annual

Banowetz + Company recently received the exciting news that the logo we created for Candid Camper was awarded a place in this year’s PRINT Regional Design Annual. PRINT is a well-respected design and advertising publication showcasing the best work from throughout the country, so being included in their design annual is quite an honor. The issue will be hitting the newsstands in late December. Pick up a copy and check out the logo, which also won a Gold at the Dallas Addy awards and a Silver district-level Addy award earlier this year. I guess you could call that a design trifecta. Congrats to our Senior Designer Wes Phelan on a job well-done.

NorthPark Center Unveils New Works by KAWS

Stop by and see the latest eye-catching additions to NorthPark Center’s impressive art collection, by Brooklyn-based artist KAWS. Clean Slate, a monumental sculpture on Level One near Macy’s, depicts one of the artist’s most famous figures carrying two smaller, adolescent figures. Survival Machine, on Level Two near Macy’s, is a series of five paintings containing popular imagery with layers of contradictions and subtleties.

Spanning the worlds of graffiti, pop art and consumer culture, KAWS conveys his underlying wit, irreverence and affection for our times. Well known for his larger-than-life sculptures and hard-edged paintings with similarities to popular cartoon figures that emphasize line and color, KAWS creates an emotional cast of hybrid cartoon/human characters in his work.

If you want to see more of KAWS, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is hosting a major exhibition KAWS: WHERE THE END STARTS through January 22, 2017.

Now, we think that’s KAWS for celebration!

Allen Davis: Onward and Upward

Sadly, I just completed my final days at Banowetz + Company. The past five years have been thrilling, educational, inspirational, fulfilling, stressful and fun. I’m reticent to leave such a great team, but as the cliché goes, opportunity has knocked and I have no choice but to answer. My thanks to all of our amazing clients throughout my tenure who have challenged and inspired me – NorthPark Center, Allie Beth Allman and Associates, Eiseman Jewels, The Lumen Hotel, Bob Foster, and many more. And thanks especially to the Banowetz + Company family for taking a flyer on extracting me from Memphis, TN, which not only was a fantastic career move but also brought my family and me back home to the great state of Texas. For that, I am eternally grateful. I’m off to head up marketing for the Dallas Market Center, which is an incredible opportunity about which I am beyond excited. Please drop me a line at adavis@dallasmarketcenter.com if you get an inkling. Otherwise, onward and upward!
