The Future (and Past) of Back to the Future (In Button Form)

Posted: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 in Collectibles, Just For Fun

We’re currently designing a new Volusion site for BTTF.net – an entire site devoted to products, props and memorabilia related to the Back to the Future films (their current site can be found here).  The new design is, frankly, totally rad, but we’re not gonna show you just yet, because if there’s anything we like more than good design, it’s teasing total strangers.  We’ll post about it when it launches, but in the meantime, what we are willing to show you is our own, personal collection of pins from the 80’s (with a little 70’s and 90’s thrown in for good measure).

We’ll start this dorkfest with the button on the left, presented to any hardcore nerds willing to sit through all three BTTF films in one sitting (on the occasion of the release of BTTF III).  We are just that type of nerd.

Hit the jump to see the rest of the collection…

Coming Soon to Volusion: Model Roundup

Posted: Friday, March 5, 2010 in Collectibles, Design, Volusion Site Design, Web Design

We admit it.  We’re jumping the gun a bit on this one because it’s so damn good-looking…

Some time in the near future, Model Roundup (here’s a link to their old site) will be launching their new Volusion site.  Normally we wait until the big switch to bring a new design to your attention, but this one is just dying to see the light of day and we couldn’t resist.  It’s also a nice opportunity for you to see a bit of before and after, in case you’re ever wondering about the merit of good design when it comes to branding and credibility.

We’ll probably post about this one again when it actually launches, because we can’t get enough of it, but for now, you can just Revell* in this sneak peek.

*That’s not a misspelling… trust us.  The model nerds are cracking up at that.

Volusion Gets Some Ink, Courtesy of Tattoo U Direct

Posted: Friday, February 26, 2010 in Beauty, Volusion Site Design

We won’t say where, but we will say that we’ve got a tattoo (or two), discreetly tucked away – out of the public eye.  We’re proud to say that the tattoos in question do not feature tribal imagery, the Tasmanian Devil in college athletic garb or Calvin peeing on something.  Regardless, we’ve got our ink, so we’re thrilled to add Tattoo U Direct to our stable of clients.

Offering a range of tattoo tools and supplies as well as flash art and piercing equipment,  Tattoo U Direct is a one-stop, online body modification shop.  So if you need a hole on your person where you don’t currently have one, or there are parts of your body that you think would look a bit better in a nice shade of green, you should head over to Tattoo U Direct.  They’ll hook you up… literally.

Brand Labs Brings React Gear to Volusion

Posted: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 in Sporting Goods, Volusion Site Design, Web Design

React Gear offers a full range of sporting goods and supplies intended to prepare you for any emergency.  Commie uprising?  Check.  Attacked by bears?  You’re covered.  Zombie apocalypse?  Aim for the head.

Brand Labs Brings a Dose of Inspiration to Volusion

Posted: Tuesday, February 9, 2010 in Apparel, Volusion Site Design, Web Design

Dose-of-Inspiration-VolusionBrand Labs is happy to announce the launch of Dose of Inspiration!  More than just an apparel store, d.o.i (as their friends call them) has a mission.  From their “about us” page:

At Dose of Inspiration our objective is to evoke confidence, encourage creativity and inspire individuals to follow their dreams! With our collection of hip, wearable art and accessories, we are on a mission to spread inspiration across the globe!

They go on to quote a first century Greek philosopher, a Scottish mountaineer and the sixth president of the United States.  It’s fair to say they may be the most intellectual purveyors of pink t-shirts in the history of Volusion.

Welcome to the Brand Labs family, d.o.i!

Acure Organics Cures Our Sweet Tooth and Our Slender Hips

Posted: Monday, February 1, 2010 in Beauty, Health, Testimonials

Brand-Labs-Mrs-FieldsIn what is quickly becoming a trend (one that we’d like to encourage), Acure Organics (soon to be at acureorganics.com) has thanked us for their impending website in the best way possible: with baked goods.

Acure will soon (very soon) launch the new Volusion site for their own brand of organic body products.  Not only are the products and packaging environmentally friendly, but a portion of their profits will be donated to promote breast cancer research and awareness.  It’s a noble cause to be sure and if that weren’t proof enough that these are some very nice people, there’s this note that came with the cookies:

“To the great staff at Brand Labs, Thank you all so much for our wonderful website.  Enjoy!  Sincerely, Kristy & Jon Guerra”

So, if you’d like to send us cookies, cake, or cash, feel free.  Of course, it makes more sense if you happen to be a customer, but we don’t discriminate.  Just send whatever awesome stuff you’d like to: Brand Labs, 360 South Street, Suite 300, Rochester, MI 48307.  Please note: nothing says “thanks” better than an iPad.  Just a thought…
