We were going to do a 2K10 version of last year’s addy post but then this monster was delivered to our front door. And I don’t think anyone wants to see a shirtless designer in the aftermath of one of Deer Valley’s signature Chocolate Mousse Cakes. We’d show you what the scrumptious layers look like inside but considering it’s been a few minutes since we took this picture, it’s probably too late. But we will give you some tips on how to get a chocolate cake of your very own: partner up with some great clients, create great work for those clients, submit 5 of your pieces to the Addy show, win 6 Addys (one of the pieces was so nice it got double-crowned), get chocolate cake. Sounds good to us.

So a few weeks ago (okay maybe it was months), we had a GIRLS ONLY party for our favorite media coordinator, Cacia (and her soon-to-join-us baby girl). And let me tell you, the women of Struck know how to party. Dudes would never have such cute drinks OR create such hilarious party games OR order 2 dozen mini-cupcakes for everyone to share OR embroider struck hammers on the teeniest puff-sleeved shirt. I’m just saying.
And to top off all the womenly power around here, Cacia actually went ahead and HAD HER BABY! Sweet Baby Adele was born on May 5th. And now, visions of Adele’s impending birthday pinatas- ballerinas, lady bugs, bunnies…the possibilities are endless!- are all Cacia really thinks about.

Well, the Utah Addys have come and gone. And not unlike past years, we won a few medals (seventeen, actually). It’s the kind of weight we really don’t mind carrying around our necks. This guy hasn’t got a thing on us.

We know, we know, ‘green’ is the buzzword of the decade. But ‘green racecar’? Bet you haven’t heard that in 2k9. Huh? Huh? Allow Struck to introduce you to Corsa. Corsa is a Utah-based professional sports car racing team with a mission: the Q10 Hybrid.

The world’s first Le Mans hybrid prototype car will make its entrance onto the world’s stage in the 2009 race season. American LeMans Series is the only car racing series to meet EPA, DOE and SAE criteria for “green racing” and the Corsa Q10 Hybrid is at the forefront of that series. Why is Struck so pumped about this? Besides our natural love for all things green (we buy local, we recycle, we bring our own bags to Whole Foods, we’re hip, we’re down) and our world-class experience on the racetrack? Because Corsa has asked Struck to be their partner in green crime. Our corporate culture and extraordinary design skills make this a heavenly match. Working with Corsa, Struck has put together some pretty fly marketing pieces to get this car sponsored and on the track. Look for it this season!

A little while ago, Pressure Pak came to us looking for some help. They’d been promoting a ‘non-suck’ world with their product (a pressurized hydration pak that requires, yep, no sucking), but didn’t think their visual brand, was pulling its weight in the fight. As a long time opponent of things that suck, Struck really had no choice but to join their forces against this:

Before we knew it, we’d rid their brand, and lives, of all things suck with this refreshing name and logo. When we look at this logo, we don’t just see great design at work, we see climbers and riders and hikers and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds, playing safely in their suck-free world, blissfully unaware of the suck they’ve been spared. Wonderful, isn’t it?

(art show!)—Utah Draws: Contour and Context
(blah blah blah): The eight artists selected to participate devote significant time to drawing in their artistic practice. While all of these artists approach drawing through its formal qualities, each grapples with differing concerns including environmental, literary, and personal reflections. Utah Draws features work by artists: Adam Bateman (Salt Lake City), Susan Beck (Salt Lake City), Joey Behrens (Salt Lake City), Eric Brown (Cedar City), Jane Catlin (Hyde Park), DAN CHRISTOFFERSON Flying By full (our boy) Unknown move
, Steven Larson (Salt Lake City), and David Edward Linn (Elk Ridge). have been selected as a demonstration of the dynamic array of styles, media and subjects– ranging from the human figure, to landscape, to more conceptual explorations – currently being explored by Utah artists.

Danny is gearing up for a major art show at Palmer’s Gallery in mid-January. We’ll tell you tons more later on. Just know that it’s a HD (HD: Huge Deal, as opposed to NBD: No Big Deal). This is just to tease you:

It was a chilly Utah morning made a bit warmer by the surprising treat of one of these custom-designed (and warm enough for any tundra) screenprinted hoodies (laid gently with care) on each of the Struckers’ chairs this Thursday. Where did they come from? Santa
, of course. Why did they give them to us? Because we’ve been good, that’s why. Lovingly designed by Dan C., they are hybrid Struck/Invasion branded and boast the hottest astronaut on record. Thanks, Santa.
What? If FM100 is already playing Christmas music, and people are leaving presents on people’s desks, I’m going to write about Christmas.

It’s only been 5 days since the Salt Palace in downtown Salt Lake looked like this:
And already there’s not a trace of evidence (except a few downtown vagrants suspiciously sporting new orange knapsacks) that we were ever here. Every piece of vinyl is down, every window cling is unclung, every custom fabric banner is undraped, the snowflakes are just boring metal frames, and the massive ’salt shakers’ are once again clear glass. It feels a bit like the day after Christmas, or a few hours after Thanksgiving dinner. After months of preparation, it happens. And after all that hard work, and the short frame of ecstasy, it’s over. Not necessarily a bad feeling, just a strange one. Invasion was a big part of our day, and now it’s gone. Not that we won’t start on next year’s convention in the blink of an eye, but there will always be a soft little spot right here in our hearts for Invasion. Am I getting too sentimental? Quick, someone post about Halo.

This photo was taken just moments (a day) before our beloved Dan’s freshly shorn head was defiled by a dirty dirty pigeon and his runny, grainy waste. Tough break, Dan. At least he didn’t get Peder’s luscious curls.
