Arngee

Arngee, aka Otto, is the mascot of Syracuse University. The ISDP Advertising Design class of 2004 adopted him as one of their own and took him on a trip around the world. Hope you enjoy all his travels!

Who loves Arngee more


Sometimes people actually get into heated battle over their affections for Arngee. Maria Grillo, The Grillo Group, Chicago, and Chuck Kratz nearly came to blows over who loved Arngee more. Fortunately, no one was hurt and it was determined that Arngee has enough love for everyone! XOXO

David Tatham


David Tatham, the author of six books and more than eighty scholarly articles and reviews concerning American art of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, is known especially for his studies of the work of Winslow Homer. At Syracuse University he has received the Chancellor’s Citation for Exceptional Academic Achievement (1993), the Wasserstrom Award for Excellence in Graduate Teaching (1990), the Post-Standard University Library Award (1989), and several awards for his publications. Among his research and project grants are those from the National Endowment for the Humanities (6 awards), the American Philosophical Society (3 awards), the American Antiquarian Society, and the Archives of American Art. Of the numerous doctoral dissertations and master’s theses he has directed, eight have won Graduate School prizes. Though he attained the status of Professor Emeritus in 2002, Tatham continues to advise student and other projects in American art, maintains an active research and publication schedule, and periodically teaches at the Syracuse University London Centre a course on the role of museums in contemporary culture. But what makes him most interesting is the fact that he is a big fan of the little orange fellow.

Steve Liska and Arngee


Steve Liska knows the future of the design profession and was sure that Arngee would be a part of it.

Birds of a feather


Arngee goes where the big brands are. He even ran into a friend at IKEA in Canada!

Euro RSCG and A?


Could have been. Barry Vetere met Arngee while in Syracuse and was hoping to add an "A" to the global firm. But alas, Arngee could not be tied down to just one agency. He had to go where the creativity led him.

Hill Holiday and Arngee

Louisville or bust!


I'm going too. I'm not doing any judging, but I will be taking in the sights and checking another state off on my list! Be back on Friday!

The Clarke of Clarke Goward


Tom Clarke, is the Clarke behind Clarke Goward. As proud as he was of his son Lawson and his make-better, as the Queer Eyes like to call their work, he was as pleased to meet the soon-to-be legendary Arngee, no make-better needed!

Where stars meet!


Boston brought the meeting of two stars on the rise. We all know the story of Arngee, but how many of you know the story of Lawson Clarke? Well here it is in a nutshell. . .

Name: Lawson Clark, as in Clarke Goward a Boston based agency
Age: 30
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 180 lbs
Status: Single
Occupation: Advertising Executive
Category: Straight Guy Number 1
Location: Boston, Massachusetts
Event: Girlfriend's 30th Birthday

Before there was Adam, before there was Butch, even before there was Blair...there was Lawson. Back in 2002, there were a couple of guys named David who had an idea for a makeover show with a difference. To some, it seemed like a long shot: the show would star five openly gay men, the makeover subjects would all be heterosexual men, and the title would include the word "Queer." Still, the only way to find out if America was ready for Queer Eye would be to cast five fabulous experts and let them loose on one hapless straight guy, with cameras in tow.

The first step was to assemble the Fab Five. An exhaustive search yielded a quintet of highly qualified experts: Ted, Carson, James, Sam and Charlie. They were thrown at a Boston-area friend of executive producer David Metzler, Lawson, who had no idea what he was in for. Although a successful man in his early 30s, Lawson was still living like a college undergrad with hand-me-down furniture and an empty refrigerator, much to the dismay of his longtime girlfriend. The Fab Five's mission: turn this frat boy into a "big boy" to prove to his gal Gable that he has long-term potential.

Meanwhile, back in Miami. . .


Lisa, CD at CP+B, awaits the return of her beloved man of citrus, Arngee. This photo remains on her desk, greeting her daily and keeping the love alive.

An anagram without a vowel!


Another stop in Amsterdam at PPGH/JWT. Arngee hoped to add an "A" to the name.

He knows a good brand


Ned Campbell of Wolff-Olins, London, aligns himself with only the best brands out there. Need I say more?

Mama?


While in London, our little orange friend heard that Mother was there. Not knowing where any of his family was since being plucked from the orchard he stopped by for a visit. He was overjoyed by all he saw, but admittedly a little disappointed not seeing any other citrus. He did love the music playing.

Back across the pond. . .


Escorted by John Philip Jones, who could not be any more proud of Arngee, stopped by McCannErickson London for a visit with an SU alum done good!

And this wraps up the Royal Family at Burger King!

and the Marketing Queen


I suppose that would be her "real" title. She was so in awe of Arngee, she could barely look directly at him let alone open her eyes!

The Marketing King


Well, at least at Burger King HQ in Miami. A shame that they did not have a crown sized for Arngee.

Publicis, Parma and a Perky little chap!


Belinda Parmar, Publicis in London, was smitten with Arngee when he stopped by for a visit. She was a little disappointed not having a proper silver tray to hold him on.

The REAL reason Naked is coming to the States


You may have seen on the most recent cover of Creativity that Naked Communications of London is coming to the States. They are not sure where, but they are planning on coming.

Here is what the story doesn't say as discovered by an ISDP Investigative Report!

Will Collin, of Naked and shown on the cover, is searching for Arngee. Arngee left such an impression that Collin feels they need to reconnect. The reason they cannot determine where they will locate Naked here is because Collin cannot pinpoint where Arngee is. Collin has been heard referring to the "wee orange chap" as "elusive." He, Collin, has even been described as hypnotized or obsessed by Arngee after only a brief encounter well over a year ago.
