by Block Club Creative

When it came time to create our 2011-’12 media kit and creative services guide, it was important that they convey all of the excitement happening at Block Club, as well as a stronger identity across our brand.

Merge menu gets a facelift

by Block Club Creative

Merge is one of Buffalo’s more eccentric and lively restaurants. If you haven’t been, it’s worth a visit for one of their vegetarian/vegan/raw/gluten-free-friendly meals (there’s food for you omnivores, too).
