Zeon fills order for off-centered craft brewery

Alan Bloom, president of Zeon Corp. in Louisville, takes pride in filling off-centered orders. Take for example the latest request from Dogfish Head, a craft brewer, for a back bar sign that would embody the company’s unofficial tagline, “Off-centered stuff for off-centered people.”

Working with the client’s request to develop a back bar clock, the Zeon design team developed a concept featuring aesthetic elements from the Steampunk art movement. The sign incorporates hallmark Steampunk elements – vintage metals, steam power-themed mechanicals and gauges – combined with the design and craftsmanship typical of Victorian era England.

To bring attention and focus to the hopped beers for which Dogfish Head is known, a functional clock motif with a lighted dial denoting different hopping times was chosen.

What everyone has been telling the Eye for years, Bloomberg Businessweek has confirmed – Boulder is the No. 1 city in the country for startup companies.

Vivek Wadhwa wrote, “With the University of Colorado as an anchor and a backyard full of mountains as lifestyle bait, Boulder now has the highest concentration of software engineers per capita in the nation.”

Rounding out the top five were Boca Raton, Fla.; Santa Monica, Calif.; Bend, Ore.; and Irvine, Calif.
