Using actual players, network commentators and a 7 foot-tall bear as our cast, we created an 80s-style sitcom complete with bad lighting, cheesy editing and a sax-drenched theme song. Believe it or not, the spot was shot on a Canon 5D in a janitorial supply room in the depths of the Boston Garden with a small crew and an even smaller budget. The set was built and dressed in just 24 hours. The spots instantly went viral and were featured on ESPN, NHL.com, Yahoo, Devour, Creativity, Ad-Age and more. Like any good sitcom, outdoor boards were placed around the city and outside the Boston Garden. To our surprise, most were stolen within days and are probably hanging in man-dens and frat houses across the city. <img src="http://payload46.cargocollective.com/1/2/85500/3225557/BG_bboard_Final_small_640.jpg" width="640" height="267" width_o="1024" height_o="427" src_o="http://payload46.cargocollective.com/1/2/85500/3225557/BG_bboard_Final_small_o.jpg" data-mid="16542860" border="0" align="left"/> THE LOGO was hand-drawn and based heavily on the Candice typeface. As a subtle touch, hockey pucks were hidden in the negative space of the letter forms. <img src="http://payload46.cargocollective.com/1/2/85500/3225557/bear-thegang_logos_640.jpg" width="640" height="220" width_o="2048" height_o="705" src_o="http://payload46.cargocollective.com/1/2/85500/3225557/bear-thegang_logos_o.jpg" data-mid="16549469" border="0" align="left"/> CREDITS ACD/Art Director: Travis Robertson ACD/Copywriter: Greg Almeida The Boston Bruins are one of the most popular hockey teams in the NHL.
