Michelle Nishiwaki!

Indigo6 would like to introduce our super-awesome summer ‘08 intern Michelle Nishiwaki! Not only are we enjoying her wonderful, perfect designing… but she also has brought in some interesting lunch fare. Yes… you guessed it… Hot Dog Sushi!

Welcome back Cynthia

A summer internship at Indigo6 can lead to much bigger and better things. Want proof? Our stellar-superstar summer intern of 2007 Cynthia Miller is back as a full-fledged, nothing junior about her Graphic Designer. Dreams really do come true!

Big changes…

Here’s a little preview of the big changes we have in the works.

Integrated Marketing 2.0

Guest Lecturer

This morning, Indigo6 took its message to the people with a guest lecture at NYU (a course about integrated marketing). Here Ryan, talks about integrated marketing in a Web 2.0 world. The message to marketers: Stop disruptive tactics and start adding value.

We're marketing!

We’re marketing!

For the first time in Indigo6 history, we’re actually marketing ourselves. Well, kinda. As we write this, our super-spam-machine is cranking out emails to our family, closest friends, and any email address we may have come across in the past few years. If for some reason you didn’t get our email, you can see it here. The bounce backs are piling up, I guess you all are changing jobs like underwear.

Designed for WordPress

Yes, we have redesigned our website. Don’t worry, you’ll still be able to fly with the Indigo6 flight attendants.

This new site has been designed for (and constructed using) WordPress. Why Wordpress? Simply put… it’s simple, yet powerful.

We made the decision to backfill all posts so that the site would be a complete archive of everything we’ve done since 2004. Additionally, since WordPress was built for blogging, we’ll be sharing our thoughts and opinions from time-to-time. Feel free to chime in… we love a spirited debate. Enjoy!

Welcome Cynthia!

Cynthia Miller (our very special summer designer/intern) is the latest addition to the i6 studio.

We always wondered why so many design studios include the Media Temple (mt) logo in the footer of their sites. We gave them a try and now we know. Props to (mt).

Indigo6: FWA

FWA: Site of the Day

Indigo6.com has been named Site of the Day by the FWA (Favourite Website Awards). It’s an honor to be featured alongside such much amazing work. Thank you!

New indigo6.com

Indigo6 launches Version 2.0 of our website. The site takes our airline concept to a new altitude. Huge thank you to Linda Nicholas (our amazing stylist), Claire Byrne, Kelly Grant, and Melissa King (our lovely flight attendants), and Jodi Kipperman and Tony Pichette from Kipperman Casting.

Pilots

Homeland security?

As you can see, we were on both sides of the camera. While we were shooting, a police cruiser rolled up and asked us what we were doing. We explained that we were Al Quaida operatives, working under direct orders from Vice President Cheney. He nodded and offered his assistance if we needed anything.

Indigo6 Filming

Indigo6 filming

Today we went to a private hangar at the Lehigh Valley International Airport (Lehigh, PA) to gather some footage for the new Indigo6 website.

We’ve moved…

Indigo6 moved to new studio space at 12 South Main Street in SoNo (South Norwalk). The studio is quite spacious! Looks like we’re going to have to make a few trips to Ikea.

Awards and accolades

Over the past few months, We’ve won praise and awards for indigo6.com. Awards include fcukstar, Dope, FlashLoaded and FFF. Thanks everyone… we appreciate it.

PA

Pennsylvania

We ventured down to Pennsylvania to meet with Lebanon Seaboard… and took some “roads less travelled.” In our travels, we found Jesus, the Blair Witch, and scrapple. You’d never guess that we only were a mere two hours from the West Village.

Whiteboard

Vegas whiteboard

We’re currently working on a rebranding and website for LA-based internet record label Beta Records. Since they are over there, and we’re over here… they suggested we meet in the middle… or close to the middle… Las Vegas. Here’s a pic from our kickoff meeting in their suite at the Bellagio. Dry erase markers on the window… how’s that for rock’ roll decadence.

New indigo6.com

Indigo6 has launched a new Flash video website. Scripted, shot and edited in the Indigo6 studio, the site pushes the limits of Flash technology with embedded videos that are turned on and off based on site logic and across site sections. We even included a few easter eggs for fun.

Indigo6: Threat Level Orange

In the meantime…

While we are hard at work on the build of new website… we thought we’d comply to the current threat level… right before the election. Hmmmmmm.
