I had to share this. My friend Jennifer Hamilton (as Baby Spice in this video) and her group, Avidiva, performed at the closing ceremony of the NZI International Sevens in Wellington this year. I did the Avidiva logo’s hand-lettering (based on Jennifer’s idea) and website (also her concept). Stars in Their Eyes’ (the New Zealand edition) Freddie Mercury is behind them. It’s really cool to see Avidiva do so well from humble beginnings.

A while ago, I raved about Avidiva, a girl group started by my friend Jennifer Hamilton. You’ll get to see how good they are for yourself this Friday on Good Morning, TV One. However, you won’t see me. I’ll blog more on the show after Friday, since it’s important you see Jen and the girls!

Avidiva demo

I’ve placed a small audio demo from my friend Jennifer Hamilton and her group, Avidiva (which I also named). Thought fellow Voxers (especially the local ones) might enjoy the covers that this New Zealand girl group performs, to audiences nationally.

[Cross-posted] I met Jennifer Hamilton (née Springgay) when she was a student of mine in 1999, and after she graduated, I hired her for some contract work—she had, and still has, a very refined approach to design. I MCed her wedding a few years ago, and when she formed a girl group—her after-hours gig—it was my pleasure to name it and design its logo. Now, Avidiva, the group, has its own web site, which yours truly designed, though Jen had colours, look, typographic choice and photography ready (in other words, ‘designed’ should be interpreted very loosely). Consider this a plug, and its demo MP3, not on the site yet, is worth waiting for.
   This is not a one-way street: the Hamiltons have been great friends and supporters to me, and the site was the least I could do.
