Some folks say that we get to have all the fun, we’d have to agree.

Together with our partners at Oy, Nike asked us to give a heroes home coming welcome to their employee athletes who took part in the 2010 Étape du Tour. This year a group of 34 cyclists trained for six months to combat the infamous stage from Pau to Col du Tourmalet, including the treacherous final climb which has become part of cycling folklore.

Inspired by Nike’s innovative Chalkbot, we headed out to their European headquarters in Hilversum and sprayed congratulatory messages to all the participants, showing the encouragement and support of their friends and colleagues. With help from our mates at Goed Bezig, we managed to pull off a pretty impressive and iconic environmental display. Check out more images here.

The latest work to come out of the Dolly Rogers studio is this fresh identity we designed for the digital platform of a brand spanking new, super fast file transfer service called Wetransfer. The business brains and developing genius behind this entrepreneurial venture is our mate Nalden together with the brilliant folk at Oy Communications.

We were stoked to work together with them on designing the identity and website which has already been listed as one of StumbleUpon’s top 5 rated websites.

The greatest thing about being Dolly Rogers is that we get to work with super nice and extremely talented people, who are our friends. I’d like to introduce you to the talented young Victor De Bie.

He asked us for a website with a cms to showcase his plethora of artworks and accessories, together with his commercial styling work. We’ve just launched www.victordebie.com.  Designed by us fine folks here at Dolly Rogers and masterfully built by Erik Escoffier.

We’ll do anything for a laugh…and also for charity. So when the guys at Partizan Publik asked us to help them out with putting together some ‘Mo’ footage for the Movember gala event, we jumped at the chance.

We had so much fun that we even extended our literary skills to writing subtitles for the famous Hitler Downfall clip as a teaser for the Movember gala fundraiser. Check it out on YouTube.

For those of you not in the know… Movember (formerly known as November) is the month where men around the world stop shaving and grow their Mo’s to raise money for the battle against prostate cancer.

Movember is an Aussie initiative started by some mates of ours back in 2003 while having a beer in a small bar in Melbourne. In its first year, 30 Mo Bros took part in Movember and last year, across the globe more than 173,000 Mo Bro & Sistas got on board, raising more than €16 million.

Here at Dolly Rogers HQ we recently hosted the first live Powerpoint Karaoke event ever to take place in Europe (that we know of).

We opened our Amsterdam studio for a day to second year graphic design students from Falmouth University, UK. This was not another one of those yawnable events where students sat back and listened to professionals waffle on about their own great knowledge.

No siree. Our unsuspecting guests were posed the challenge to give a 2-minute presentation on slides that they’d never seen before. These rotated without regard for the participants, and they had to give it their all-creative-best to come up with a coherent story AND relate it back to a given theme.

With strict judging criteria such as mileage gained, interpretive dance, karma sutra and wank-o-vation, this was one of the greatest education by immersion experiences… otherwise known as baptism by fire! Check out more photos here.
