Two Sisters wins Best of Reston Award?

What a nice surprise to wake up to an e-mail that Two Sisters Creative has won the 2009 Best of Reston Award for Commercial Art and Graphic Design. We have, the announcement said, won this because of our outstanding work and community service.

It's so nice to be recognized for our hard work. It's to bad that the Better Business Bureau has deemed this particular award, issued by the U.S. Commerce Association, a "vanity award" and cautions winners not to get hoodwinked into buying all the trophies. It apparently serves no real purpose other than to generate income for the association.

I supposed that makes sense since I didn't even know nominations for this thing were out, let alone that we were nominated. And I can't figure out how one is selected...to my knowledge, they didn't see any samples of our work.

Still, it was a nice thing on a Monday morning to be called a winner.

Save Brown's Chapel

We love Reston. One of the things we love are the parks and paths that provide opportunity for outdoor recreation. But now there is a proposal underway to destroy one of the best parks in Reston ~ Brown's Chapel ~ and build a huge sports complex in it's place. We want to stop this!

Our friends at Brainwave agree, and developed this video for it. Brainwave is another Reston-based ad agency (that does beautiful work, by the way). Enjoy the video...it says it all.
