Take a look at the history and evolution of ballot design in the US... and remember to fill yours out this year!"
The act of voting has never felt so critical. With accusations of rigged elections, voter fraud, machine malfunctions, and vote tampering, the ballot is at the center of the debate. But before we start complaining about badly designed layouts and typography, let’s take a minute to examine how this...

An unprecedented times, see how the DNC had to update its branding for a mostly virtual conference.

After working together for a number of years making interactive experiences, something didn’t feel quite right. The work we were creating was not in line with our personal values and beliefs. So one day we decided to make a change. Since its beginning, the Friendly Vengeance team has strived to work with brands and organizations whose values and missions reflect those of its founders.
