    PRWeb – Mon, Jan 30, 2012

    Brooklyn Bunny is a rabbit webcam that first went live on August 28, 2005. The website is a project of graphic designers Kevin Dresser and Kate Johnson of the design firm Dresser Johnson.

    The idea was initiated when Dresser and Johnson discussed starting a rabbit pet-sitting business from their design studio. The idea was to have two live webcams so rabbit owners could check in on their rabbit via the internet. However, the pet-sitting business was scrapped when they offered to care for a foster rabbit. The idea of the Brooklyn Bunny website was born when they became attached to the Dwarf Hotot rabbit, which they decided to name Roebling after John A. Roebling, designer of the Brooklyn Bridge.

    The website is very popular with many fans uploading and discussing their favorite screen images to Brooklyn Bunny's Facebook page. Although the consistent average is 250-300 visitors per day, the website has recorded memorable days with up to 12,000 different users viewing the webcams. A very popular time for viewers is "Oaty Time" every night at 10:00pm (Eastern Standard Time). Roebling gets his evening oats and usually flops down after.

    About the Logo


    Designed by Kevin Dresser, the Brooklyn Bunny logotype is the first design to anthropomorphize the Brooklyn Bridge towers as rabbit ears. This iconic logo has become very popular with designers and non-designers alike.
