On this site you can see footage from the finals of the Nike Midnight Madness basketball event. It seemed to be a success in terms of crowd participation, standard of ballers and the brand identity we developed here at W+K. This carried through the line and they made up the court for the Finals in the design (amongst much more). Thanks to Rob K from the WK Portland studio, who worked on the design while he was over here.

With the release of Beta 4, Google Earth is able to support user created, textured building models. This file is a first release, using illustrated rather than photographic textures; the geometry approximate. From this link you can download and view a model of Wieden + Kennedy’s head office in Portland via Google Earth. You can download Google Earth here. (And if you haven’t already got it then you should, as it’s very cool.) The model was created by the sucktastic modelling skills of Nik Daum. Nik works at W+K Portland, so  he’s built a virtual version of his workplace. I wonder if he’s put a virtual self in there.
