“It Gets Better” is the tag line and name adopted by Dan Savage for the organization he founded in 2010 to prevent LGBT teen suicide. Fast forward to January 2012. . .the “It Gets Better Project” has received over 30,000 video entries and more than 40 million views on their website. Not to mention that by the end of the month, a television show of the same name, that is based on the organization will premiere on MTV.
Roger was honored to be part of the movement by creating the graphics package for the show. It was designed to convey the idea of a community banding together to prevent LGBT teen suicide. The end result was a colorful tapestry of positivity. Booyah! Check out the show open we created below and don’t forget to watch MTV for the premiere!

We were asked to make a short piece about optimism for the OWN network. When we showed this to Oprah Winfrey she was like: “Uhhhh, I don’t get it”. Whatever Oprah, we like it.
Roger is extremely honored to have recently created a :30 PSA for the American Cancer Society to encourage new mothers to quit smoking.
Hey there, checkout the teasers we sent to TBS for the Conan O’Brian Network launch last fall. We are all big fans of the Masturbating Bear so when they asked us to pitch on some teasers for the show we were like, “Oh hell yah!” We did this whole thing down and dirty. We cleared out some space at R&R and set up a shoot with all our friends.
We got our resident thespian, Dane, a man of a million voices to play the part of all the male leads.
Here’s beth strutting her stuff
Blake played the part of Conan’s Hair

Anyway here is the one that actually made it on air.
Here are the other entrants that won’t make it on TBS. We loved them so much that we wanted to share.
