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!

My Bolgna has a first name. . .


It's M-A-T-E-O!

Mateo Bologna, founder of the innovative type design and restaurant design studio Mucca Design in New York. He greeted Arngee as only a true Italian could.

But as quickly as he adored Arngee he quickly turned against the orange when he was getting too much attention!

Olympic Design


Elise Woodward, Designer at Iconologic in Atlanta where "Risk more. Presume intelligence. Inspire emotion. Sell the truth" is their mantra.

I am not quite sure who was more impressed with each other, Elise with Arngee or myself with Elise. Elise is the designer responsible for the amazing, AMAZING Torino Olympic design.

Elise had a stack of papers on a file cabinet, that ended up being some of the thumbnails for the Torino games. They were works of art. I would frame them if I could! Just check them out!

Arngee Unbound!



We can all see from the writing on the wall what the people at Undboundary are passionate about. And I guess it is obvious where my passion lies!

Courtney Frohne, Relationship Development Manager at Unboundary, could hardly believe who she had sitting right there in her hand while visiting Unboundary in Atlanta.

Chip off the old block?!


Arngee had quite the time at the HOW Conference in Georgia. After all, I would say the orange and peach are cousins.

Chip Kidd, book cover designer extraordinaire, had one of the best presentations, but why wouldn't he. There were many other highlights too. I was surprised when he knew exactly who Arngee was. When asked he said he went to Penn State and saw much of Arngee in his college days.

I handed him our little orange fellow and Chip popped him in his mouth! Shockingly, Arngee looks like a strange orange ball gag! Um. . .okay!
