Doomsday Vault to Store Invaluable Seeds and Air Wear Products

The 'Doomsday Vault' is a facility on a remote Island in Norway that is storing all the Earth's seeds in case of Armageddon. A person from a nearby island in the city of Longyearbyen recently ordered an LYR Air Wear item. I had to look up the location, and was intrigued by this city on the edge of civilization. I'm not sure how many tourist gifts exist for Longyearbyen (78 13' N!), but I'm glad Air Wear is now one of them.

There is more about Longyearbyen and the Doomsday Vault on Wikipedia:

LAX Air Wear Bags Flying West

The Los Angeles LAX Airport travel bags arrived today, and they look awesome. The quality of the graphic application process has been improved, and the items look first rate.

We'll now tag these items with the hang tags (pic below), and send them to LA for placement in the LAX retail store. We'll soon find out the store in LAX so that we can share the spot.

Air Wear Hang Tags Arrive

The Air Wear hang tags arrived, and they look sweet. G & P Printing on Centre St. did a nice job. G & P Printing can be reached at: 212-226-9065, or files.gp@verizon.net. Ask for Andy.

New Air Wear Hang Tag Design

This is the latest Air Wear hang tag design. The front shows the branding direction that Air Wear will take in showing people surrounded by their life journeys to different international locations. In this example, the tag shows designer Jason Solarek and some of his life experiences. The back of the tag lists some of the current designs, and at the top there is a small map showing Air Wear's corporate location in the East Village. If you've read the Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell, then you'll be familiar with the theory that people like to see maps positioning them to what they're interacting with.
