(Laguna Beach, CA - 4/10/26) – Olds Wins Gold awards for Website - Branding and Website - Small Business honor at the 2026 MUSE Creative Awards. Season 1, one of the world’s leading international design awards and creative competitions, honoring outstanding achievements in design innovation, creative excellence, and artistic vision across industries.
Olds partnered with Eagle & Pig to create a digital experience that feels as distinctive as the barbershop itself. Known for its unforgettable atmosphere and strong point of view, Eagle & Pig deserved a website that did more than communicate information. It needed to reflect the shop’s personality, immerse visitors in its world, and translate its energy into an interactive brand experience. Original photography of the team and interior helped ground the site in authenticity, allowing the visual identity of the shop to lead the creative direction.
Every design decision was approached with that same level of intention. Iconic objects from the shop were reimagined as custom animations to echo Eagle & Pig’s Southern California punk surf aesthetic. Custom name badges were designed with inspiration from the shape and style of the shop’s favorite razors, while a custom footer graphic drew from razor wrapper details to create continuity throughout the experience. Even the Google Map and marker icon were custom designed so no part of the site felt generic or out of place. Designed in Figma and developed in Webflow, the final result is a site that feels immersive, cohesive, and unmistakably Eagle & Pig.
Organized by the International Awards Associate (IAA), the MUSE Awards celebrate projects that represent the highest standards of global design excellence and creative innovation. Each season attracts thousands of submissions from designers, agencies, brands, and creative professionals around the world, bringing together the global creative community shaping the future of design and creativity.
This season’s competition attracted over 13,000 entries from around the world, showcasing exceptional work across disciplines including architecture, interior design, product design, advertising, branding, digital media, and experiential design.
Kevin, Founder of Olds, said, “Winning two Gold awards for the Eagle & Pig project is an incredible honor. This project was about capturing a feeling and translating it into a digital experience that feels as distinctive as the shop itself. From the custom photography to the animated details and design system, everything was built to reflect the brand’s personality. We are proud to see that vision recognized at this level.”
