Visualizing a Bio-Tech Revolution

Product Concept Visualization

Algaeventure logo

Algaeventure Systems (AVS) was founded in 2008 with a mission to take the cost barriers out of growing and processing algae. Beyond replacing incumbent separation methods, AVS technologies are poised to unlock the potential of algae for a range of valuable products, such as pharmaceuticals, nutriceuticals and fuels, as well as enable new opportunities, including novel remediation techniques and a wide range of industrial processes.

AVS asked Cobego to help visualize their ideas for use at the 2011 World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi. We designed and rendered imagery of an SLS machine, RAC boat, and new bio-refinery on Grand Lake St. Mary's in Ohio. These images continue to circulate in international publications and trade shows to raise funds for, and awareness of, their technologies.

Create Your World

Product Development and Marketing

Sandplay logo

Sandplay Therapy combines sand, water, toys and imagination to encourage children of all ages to become aware of their feelings, engage in problem solving, express their feelings appropriately, and find resolutions to their struggles. (Go ahead, try it.)

Cobego designed and built a durable and versatile sandtray table, which facilitates the administration of Sandplay Therapy while also functioning as a creative centerpiece for any space. We worked with local craftsmen and materials to build a more sustainable table from the ground up. And this is only the beginning. Look for more products from Cobego Play soon.

Identity and Branding

Cobego?

More commonly referred to as a colugo or flying lemur, a cobego doesn't fly, nor is it a lemur. A cobego is an arboreal gliding mammal found in the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. They resemble very large flying squirrels (though they are most closely related to primates) and can glide upwards of 70 meters without losing height, the longest distance for any animal. The Cobego is a highly adapted and truly unique animal.
