Friday afternoons we flee the office and find fun and food somewhere within walking distance of our downtown SLO office with an abundance of atmosphere (and alcohol). Last week we finally flipped the lid to a Kickstarter game that had been staring at us from the shelf for months – Snaption. It’s a game of captions for snapshots where you …
Write on, Write on
Meet the new gal, Christy Cozby. She’s our copywriter and resident dinosaur enthusiast. When she isn’t alliterating you’ll find her pouring Pinot at Wolff Vineyards in the Edna Valley.

Say My Name, Say My Name
20|20 recently collaborated with Vina Robles to name their new luxury housing development in the heart of Paso Robles wine country. The original name of the project was “Huerhuero”, a challenging word to sound or spell. In developing a new name, we thought beyond what words can say, to how words can sound. “Sound symbolism” is the theory that we …

Pantone of the Year 2016
For the first time, Pantone’s Color of the Year is a union of two shades- the airy pink Rose Quartz and the calming lavender Serenity. While 2015 channeled the rich and luxurious Marsala, 2016 focuses on “mindfulness and well-being as an antidote to modern day stresses.” In today’s tumultuous, fast-paced world, these colors are a gentle reminder for us to take time out …
Wishing You Happiness to Spare in 2016
In 2015, 20|20 had the pleasure of participating in the 34th Annual Transitions Mental Health Association Bowl-a-Thon. In collaboration with other local businesses, teams came together to raise money for local mental health programs. This event also aims to strike out the stigma surrounding mental illness across San Luis Obispo County. Inspired by our experience, 20|20 broke out the ball …
Brands Jump All Over Back to the Future Day
Most of us remember and connected with the Back to the Future movie franchise. We remember the DeLorean, the flux capacitor, and Biff. And now, looking back, we remember the predictions made in the second installment of the series. Come 2015, there would be hoverboards, self-lacing shoes, video conferencing, and the Cubs finally winning a World Series. Well some of …
Alec’s Bromance
I have a man-crush on James Dyson. It started about 9 years ago when I read an article about him in Reader’s Digest while visiting my parents. Where else would one even find a Reader’s Digest other than your parent’s house? A little serendipity mixed with Mom’s homemade chili the night before, and I found myself sitting down to meet …

Brands That Blue It
In our 20-year history of building brands I’m proud to say that only about 15 percent of the the companies we’ve worked with chose blue as their flagship color. When you consider the global average of 60 percent, it’s a figure that’s surprisingly below the norm. But, then again, it makes sense when you consider that most companies that choose …
