“Originality is simply a fresh pair of eyes.”
-- Woodrow Wilson

We always find different ways to look at the world and the unique possibilities that surround us. Since we are a small agency we revel in things that are small yet powerful. Our latest branding project embodies this ideal.

We were inspired by the iconic Mini Cooper’s spirited performance, functionality and efficiency for its small size and we felt it was the perfect starting point for an Actuation branding expression. The idea to build something that no one has ever tried before, but provides everyday use was the foundation for our Actuation Mini PC.

The Actuation Mini PC is a fully functioning desktop computer that we use consistently around the office. In fact, this web site was created on it.

The actual dimensions are breathtaking when you think of all the technology packed into the small space. It measures a mere 14 inches long, 7.5 inches wide and 5 inches tall. It’s actually smaller than most laptops, yet provides the same computing power. The car is custom painted to match our corporate colors and incorporates realistic lighting and a DVD drive.

Taking a look at the specs you may discover it’s faster and more powerful than the computer you’re using right now.
