cypher13
Posted under usa based firms.
Self-confident enough to pose in their underwear and savvy enough to still get clients, cypher13 is the "tactical design and brand strategy" studio of three young designers from Boulder, Colorado. Treading a fine line between Jackass(es) and Vice-like pretense... this trio "pants" themselves to separate themselves from the traditional online design crowd... and they somehow pull it off. Bold typography, bright identity design, colorful illustration work, and clean tighty whiteys!
