Brand Identity Design...
>
It speaks the correct visual language.
>A great communications program or campaign always begins with a great brand identity. Our recommendation is to always begin the process by evaluating the core goals of the communication. The optics must register positive to their intended market audience.

How is this achieved?
Only with having the right sensitivity to our clients needs and goals; through research of the specific industry and target audience and by the cumulative effect of knowledge and experience gained from each consecutive design exploration. The end result should be simple, memorable, reproduceable, and adding in communicative value to the principal goal.

The eureka moment...
The designer's role is to facilitate a creative process for all involved. A designer's goal is to act as catalyst for the client through exploration and discovery, to reveal findings that may have never been considered before. Inspiration comes; after a lot of flexing... :)

Leaping Deere Legends
Leaping Deere Legends is a new attraction featuring a museum collection of John Deere tractors and memorabilia. Visitors can experience "Amazing Family Farm Fun" in the huge corn maze and participate in other family oriented activities. The goal in the development of this logo was to convey the farm fun message centering on the main theme of John Deere collectibles. The resulting logo communicates this message using a caricature of a farmer on a "leaping" John Deere tractor. The traditional green and yellow colours were used to immediately tie-in the John Deere brand. The Leaping Deere name and logo creates an inviting, light-hearted atmosphere for John Deere enthusiasts to enjoy.

Chianti's Bistro & Lounge
In designing the logo for this new restaurant, our goal was to convey the owner's hopes and dreams for a restaurant that was to be all about the love of great food, fine wine, and the arts. In developing the logo, we endeavoured to portray Chianti's in keeping with these themes, strong and memorable, yet whimsical, fun and inviting too. The resulting design was a bronze winner at the 2003 Summit International Creative Awards!

Polymer Products Inc.
This identity design is for a manufacturer that takes spent polymer from sources such as automotive plastics, and recycles them into alternative building products.

The green and blue colouring expresses the environmental nature of the company.

InfoEnergy Prepaid Power
This design for a prepaid power card was created for the first satellite installation of smart hydro meters in North America.

Sertapak, a leader in custom packaging solutions for industry, recently celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2002.

Our simple geometric design depicts a cube box, with a stepped (art deco) ’20‘ and ’02‘ juxtaposed which also conveys ’2002‘, the year of the celebration. The playfulness of in or out optics of the isometric design supports the creative problem-solving emphasis of the company.
