TOKY in ALIVE MagazineALIVE's All-Star Agency
TOKY's interactive team is featured in ALIVE magazine as one of St.Louis' "All-Star Agencies." The article profiles TOKY's work on the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts Web site.

We were included in the recently issued Communication Arts Photo Annual and Site of the Week for our work onPhotogravure.com

Engineering a Better Brand
TOKY has launched a new site for Washington University Engineering. The site, designed by TOKY working with Perficient and WU's own back-end developers, organizes content for greater ease of use and profiles the students and faculty who have made this engineering school one of the most talked-about in the nation. TOKY has been developing the new Engineering brand for the past year, which includes a new identity, a print magazine and other collateral.

GRAPHIS Triple...no, make that Quintuple Crown Honoree
TOKY in GRAPHIS
TOKY's work for The Private Residences at The Chase Park Plaza is honored in the GRAPHIS 2008 Design Annual. Our season ticket brochure for Opera Theatre is featured in GRAPHIS BROCHURES 6 and two Opera Theatre posters have been selected for inclusion in GRAPHIS POSTERS '07. We were just notified that logos for Opera Theatre and Downtown St. Louis' Mercantile Exchange will be in GRAPHIS LOGO DESIGN 7, and our identity system for Hill Investment Group won in GRAPHIS LETTERHEAD 7. And a quote from our loquacious TOKY founder appears on the back cover of GRAPHIS BROCHURES. Whew!

TOKY Brands Downtown, StL Post Raves
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch front-pages a "Downtown Turnaround," citing the launch of the Laurel condominiums and the Mercantile Exchange lifestyle district. TOKY branded both, from the Laurel's Web site, advertising, display center graphics and sales material to the gargantuan banners peppering downtown's vertical landscape.

HOKThe new HOK.com, designed by...well, you know
TOKY has launched the new Web site for one of the world's largest architectural firms, HOK. This site combines what had been more than 20 separate sites into a single sleek and elegant interface.

TOKY fixes up Art Fix with $20,000
TOKY was a lead sponsor for ART FIX, an art auction at our buds FK Photo studio. Art Fix raised almost $20,000 for Rebuilding-Together St. Louis, a world-changing organization dedicated to rehabbing homes for low-income families. A swell time was had by all.

5 in LogoLounge 4
Five logos designed for TOKY clients have been selected for publication in the newest Logo Lounge compendium, including our work for Butler's Pantry and Appistry. High-end catering and high-tech computing all in one book.

Brown School Social ImpactTIME, WIRED, and Brown
The Brown School of Social Work at Washington University was recently the subject of a top-to-bottom rebranding by TOKY. The magazine we designed for them was just a winner in the Design Annual of the Society of Publication Designers, the magazine design Oscars. We were on the same page as TIME and WIRED, which we all thought was pretty cool, although we suppose we shouldn't admit it.
