TSA Motorsports enters the Baha racing circuit with a new identity.

The Red Olive creative team took advantage of the amazing opportunity to develop a brand for baja racing’s TSA Motorsports. TSA recently migrated over to the baja circuit from competitive rock crawling.  Collecting sponsors is an important part of any racing teams funding.  Our goal was to build an identity around the TSA team that demanded respect from other teams and to wow prospective sponsors.  Perk: Red Olive’s name appears on the race gear and the vinyl wraps for the trucks, a rolling billboard that competes. (Thanks again for that honor).

Below are some samples of the new identity, web design, and some collateral.

New web developer in the house and jquery finally slays mootools

Tag: Office Life,Red Olive NewsMatthew Moeller @ 4:34 pm

Red Olive welcomes a new web developer to the team, Aric Beagley.  Been here two weeks and he is currently attempting to convince the office that Ubuntu makes for the best desktop OS, the Windows guys had to laugh, and the MAC OS guys said what the hell is Ubuntu? Needless to say he isn’t getting very far with his campaign. However one thing we could all agree on, he has finally brought unity to the development team that (edit)  jQuery seems to run more solidly across all the browsers for us in general than mootools. (/edit)

Aric was brought on to raise the bar with our web2.0 and ajax efforts. So far so good. His CSS, JavaScript, and XML skills are amazing and in his short time here he has already made an impact on our development processes. 

And on a personal note, even though he is a die hard Mitsubishi EVO fan he has learned to tolerate conversations about the arch enemy the Shelby GT500, what a trooper.
