We’ve all been through strange times caused by COVID-19 and some businesses have had to redefine themselves in order to survive.. Sometime during May we we’re contacted by a dynamic duo with a strong knowledge base in wine. Their task was simple: Convert their wine tasting setup from a cafe based experience to a series of digital media.

We helped make the transition happen by creating the logo and a series of small animations for use on their Youtube channel. The business is still adapting to the new media, but is moving towards a stable format which can be viewed here ( preview only, since embedding isn’t allowed ), the channel is live every friday:

10 years ago CCP, the creators of the science fiction IP: Eve Online created a “Design a starship” competition. Mike entered, but was a little speculative on how the game would implement the winning design, there’s 4 factions in the game you see and if you give 1 faction a new ship, you have to give the remaining 3 some sort of compensation or the most obvious choice: 3 other ships of their own. So the entered design was created to be part of a neutral faction easing the implementation balance-wise. CCP however rewrote the competition rules and chose 4 winners instead of 1. The Seraphim design that Mike created was chosen and implemented as the “Gallente Talos” and instead of a destroyer, it was turned into a battlecruiser, exciting! right? 😀

The ship also appears in the spin off game Valkyrie, you can glimpse it in the background here: Valkyrie
