RailsConf 2010 Wrap Up


Posted June 11, 2010 by Bryan Mahoney

I came back from RailsConf this year completely energized, there are just so many exciting things happening in the Rails community right now. There's simply no better time to be working with Rails! I'd been to the previous 3 RailsConfs, but this one really stood out for me. The event was punctuated by an outstanding closing keynote by the always energetic Gary Vaynerchuk!

Besides Gary V, my conference highlights were (in no particular order)......

Designing a Logo for Spree Commerce


Posted June 08, 2010 by Jenna Holcombe

I'm always super stoked when a logo project lands in my lap. Dreaming up the identity for a cool brand is every design nerd's dream project. Just give me a blank sketchbook and a few hours and I'll easily sum up the entire essence of your brand in one clever, inevitable icon of Nike swooshiness-caliber! Wrong. A day or two into the process we designers quickly remember that as usual, we're in for bumpy ride. A rush job (like pretty much every design job— let's be serious), the Spree logo came at us fast and we took it on head first. Today, we are proud to present our fresh-out-of-the-oven brand identity for Spree Commerce, finished just in time for the launch of their new website. Read more on our logo-design process.

What Makes Us Different?


Posted June 03, 2010 by Bryan Mahoney

Why work with us? Because we’re good at what we do: Digital Strategy, Design and Technology. We have the success stories and awards to prove it. But we have learned that the reason people work with us is also because we are actually enjoyable to work with

Yes, we work on computers - everyone works on computers - but we’re people who like to talk as much as we type. We connect over the net, and we connect through ideas. We’ll explain things clearly, we’ll develop the scope together, and we’ll celebrate our milestones with good wine.

There are enough assholes who do great work. To us, good relationships are just as important as good business opportunities. And when both are present, everybody wins - and the end product exceeds expectations.

ALDO's Cast of Characters


Posted June 02, 2010 by Alex

Around the office, I am known as the 'Sharp Dressed Man.' Now thanks to our latest project for ALDO, I officially hold that title online as well.

A few weeks ago we released the latest campaign microsite called ALDO Cast of Characters. The concept was relatively simple: allow visitors to create 'casts' of their Facebook friends, assigning them each a role from ALDO's Spring/Summer campaign. The creativity and development required to pull it off, of course, was more complicated than it sounds.

The new rules for a successful launch


Posted May 28, 2010 by Bryan Mahoney

Releasing an application into the wild is always a great feeling. The weeks, days and hours leading up to the launch can be pressure packed as the last design tweaks are made and final QA fixes are applied. Managed properly though, a launch should also bring you closer to your teammates and clients, at least it always has for me. 

There's been a noticeable shift in the last couple of years about what constitutes a "successful" launch....

Doin' it Local


Posted May 07, 2010 by CPOM

Here at Dynamo, we believe in nurturing and endorsing local relationships. While we have clients from all over the free world, our heart and soul is in Montreal. As a result, we're carving out a special little corner just for us and the people we love.... Doin' it Local so to say (see: Montreal Portes Ouvertes).

Doin' it Local is also how many of us like to handle our leisure and after hours fun as well. And yowza, do I have the greatest local fun bible for you! Whether it's for you alone, you and yer mate, or a company retreat, this is the only book you will ever need!
