Downriver Day of Percussion
When working on their website design, they asked me if I could update their state and pulse logo. I talked with them, asked about the feel of the clinic, and came up with this logo. It was based on a classic motorcycle patch, but the drum lugs were added a year later.
The colors change every year, with white being the base.
They used it all over the Facebook campaign and also on the free t-shirts for their registered guests.
All logos were created in Illustrator.
Iseler Farms Honey
A small company, keeping bees in the thumb of Michigan, needed a few labels for their jars.
He had the jars and needed specific shaped logos to fit. Maybe I'm partial to round logos, but this one fit the best, and had the most natural feel.
M'Lady's Branding
This was a re-branding task for a local Ann Arbor farmer's market homemade soap company. I began with creating what would be a strong brand recognition logo with the M, put that logo on a few corporate touchpoints (the apron, polo shirt, and the handbag).
Then I created corporate communications in the form of business cards, letter head, and envelopes.
Created using Illustrator and InDesign.
Dragon Wagon T-Shirt
A proud Michigan band, Dragon Wagon wanted to share the Michigan love while out on tour in 2012. It's an effective approach to showcase the outline of the lakes instead of the land, to create the illusion that the land is what you're seeing.
The shirt was created using Photoshop, as that was the program I knew best. Today, it would be built in Illustrator for clean lines.
