Rams Head The Blog

And with the wave a magic wand (er, a month and a half of designs, redesigns and redesigns) we proudly present to you our brand-spankin-new Rams Head Group blog version 2.0 – or as we like to call it: the dead sexy version.

It’s a whole new world over here, thanks to one Mr. Bryan Connor, MICA design student and freelancer extraordinaire. Located within our company site, this new skin fits juuuust right.

Play around, push the buttons, wander through the blog that inspired the rebrand of the Rams Head Group.

Now, you have the opportunity to get to know your Rams Head Team authors, perhaps even hand-picking who you’d like to follow. Interested in footage from the last ‘WRNR Private Artist Showcase?’ Chances are, Wilkins caught it on the Flip. Curious about what the big yellow chicken is up to? Like Peter Parker to Spiderman, Chester always seems to have the scoop on his whereabouts. And surfing through the articles for your favorite author’s most recent post has been simplified via our very own author icons. Icons that we got to choose ourselves… yes, Mangold’s is a chicken sandwich, and if you’re already following his ‘Notes from the Bunker’ than you probably recognize that this is completely acceptable.

We’ve updated our Blog Roll and Friends as well as organized our group websites so that you can more easily navigate through the world wide web according to Rams Head. Tickets, dinner specials, Fordham’s brewing schedule, and current venue line ups are all available at the click of your mouse, right here within our blog.

Following too many friends and missed our last tweet? Know the answer to the @RamsHeadLive twicket trivia? A twitter feed is also located along the bottom, just below our ‘previous posts’.

So again, play around – have fun. Hope ya like it… and continue to keep your peepers open for aesthetic brand changes company wide. We’re celebrating 20 years here, people. ‘Bout darn time we wax, polish & shine this puppy and show you what she can really do.

Cheers,
Chester & Team Rams Head

In the Spring 2009 semester Krista Chester, graphic designer at Rams Head Live contacted Bernard J Canniffe, Graphic Design Co-Chair at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) to have students develop promotional posters for a music event. Krista identified Thievery Corporation as the band to promote and the MICA Sophomore students spent five weeks producing promotional posters, Tee Shirts, Mugs and Hats.

Take a look. Find us on facebook by searching ‘Rams Head Live’. Take a peek at the students’ posters, and leave a comment about your favorite one.

Thanks to everyone who participated – we look forward  to working with Baltimore’s young and talented again in the future.

We are very excited to be working with Bernard Canniffe, Graphic Design Professor and Co-Chair at Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). Together, we have presented two of his Sophmore level design classes with an opportunity to design posters (and perhaps additional marketing collateral) for our February 27th Thievery Corporation show at Rams Head LIVE! We’re looking forward to working with Bern and his students on what should be not only a fun learning project but one that will also provide each student with a professional piece for their portfolio and the experience of working on a professional level with a local Baltimore business.

The final pieces will be displayed in a “virtual show” format on our 25 flatscreen monitors. Students will then be invited to present their work and ideas to the group in a tradtional critique format within our VIP viewing areas prior to the show.

Due to the joyful chaos of local Presidential Inauguration festivities at our Rams Head Tavern in Annapolis, we were unable to personally present this project to the class. However we have provided this video as a “Virtual Presentation”…. keeping with the theme of the project in a way.

Bern & Students: Get your pens and pencils ready and push play when your ready to be WOWed by the artistically inclined, overly animated, tap-dancing triple-threat known to those who lover her simply as “CHESTER.”
