Fixing Bootstrap dropdown bug for version prior 2.2.2
January 22nd, 2013 in Doejo Stuff, Web Design, Web Development, iPhone/iPad, User Interface Design
I was working on responsive theme for our client and found out that if you are using Bootstrap prior version 2.2.2 then dropdown links don't work on iOS/Android devices.
Ruby gem was on Bootstrap version 2.1.7 as of writing. So we had to add a fix in our code manually.
To fix dropdown links bug on iOS/Android devices just add this piece of code to applications JS file:
$(function() {
$(document).on('touchstart.dropdown.data-api',
'.dropdown-menu',
function (e) {e.stopPropagation() })
});
This was fixed in version 2.2.2. Check it out on github.
Just funny how core bug can waste an hour of your time. But hey.. it's free!
Iconic thought process: The newest logos from our design team
January 15th, 2013 in Web Design, Clients, Type, Branding
Peckish
The founder of Peckish wanted a logo that positioned the subscription snack service as a luxury product, thoughtfully packaged and delivered. Our designers suggested that the mascot and iconography be represented as a bird, to play off the name "peck" and since many of the snacks are fruits and nuts. While agreeing on a sparrow bird in the final ideation, our designers incorporated it holding a packaging ribbon to make the 'C' in Peckish. Notice a peacock was used as inspiration initially.

Who Dat
To create the logo and overall art direction for social guessing game Who Dat, our designers looked towards classic board game history, taking aspects from games like Monopoly, Battleship and Guess Who, as well as modern bubbly apps with bright, colorful buttons. The idea of the logo was to capture the Who Dat's social-gaming aspect with talking heads and speech bubbles. This product is currently in production.

Reppio
This online sales platform, which positions itself as a more reliable and profile-driven Craigslist, needed a more professional logo to show off its location-based features. Reppio sought a logo from Doejo that incorporated its "Rep Score" icon, displaying user's sales ratings. And since users and products sold can be searched by location, the new Reppio logo also evokes a pin in a map. This site's redesign is currently in production.

Bike Share
Cycling community resource Bike & Park wanted Doejo to design a simple logo for its new online forum, Bike Share. Our designers evoked a feeling of community and conversation while tying in bike gears. A blue tone aligns with the company's Bike & Park gear and pedal logo, which we also designed a year prior. This site is currently in production.

Introducing Reverb, a marketplace for musicians
January 4th, 2013 in Web Design, Clients, Branding
Reverb is a new marketplace that empowers musicians to maximize the value of their gear. While traditional methods of buying and selling instruments often result in musicians’ lost time and money, Reverb offers a better, more focused place to list gear than competitors like eBay or Craigslist.
Doejo helped design the logo and develop an e-commerce site for the instrument-focused marketplace, brought to you by David Kalt, the founder of internationally recognized guitar retailer the Chicago Music Exchange.
