Heidi McBride Gallery & Art Consultancy

Heidi McBride Gallery wanted a bright, unusual card that would attract interest when left at off-site gallery shows. They also needed a space for appointment times, since they are an appointment-only gallery. As in each piece of her identity (see her website, flier, and logo), we used her logo as the compositional framework for the typography. Quoin is a graphic design business focused on branding.

Hamish Murray Construction

The kiwi is the national bird of New Zealand, where the founder of Hamish Murray Construction was born. He knew he wanted the bird in his logo. Through instant recognition, this logo helped Hamish Murray Construction grow quickly. We used the contrast of the hand-hewn typeface with the sleek lines of the logo to show quality of craftsmanship and attention to detail. These qualities help

Highland Chiropractic Clinic

Highland Chiropractic was just getting started, but its founder had a bright new idea for chiropractic care: combine compassion and a belief in the body's ability to heal itself with a focus on the needs of active professionals and athletes. We chose to avoid canned images of naked backs and skeletal diagrams in favor of evoking the spine and good health through a careful choice

Sapori Fine Flavors

Sapori Fine Flavors is a distributor of fine coffee, tea, brewing equipment and sundries. As the umbrella company for multiple product lines, Sapori needed to stand out as the parent identity, one that brings quality and knowledge to bear. Their new logo is inspired by the owner's Italian roots and Europe's long dedication to the craft of espresso. We used the neutral, yet sophisticated, colors

Sugars Flowers

Named after a family matriarch, Sugars Flowers needed to look like it was straight out of the 1940's. From the retro typeface to the old floral fabric that inspired the imagery, down to the shapes of the bar, the diagonal and the oval, this logo delivers and instant and familiar mood for the viewer. The two colors used to produce the logo are often mistaken

PPM Energy Public Relations Materials

PPM Energy needed to communicate with stakeholders regarding its many wind projects. We designed mailable newsletters that helped them get their message across. By creating a template, we could adapt it to individual projects and types of data easily. We helped them to speak in a professional, friendly and consistent way.

Highland Chiropractic Brochure

Highland Chiropractic needed to get the word out to businesses in the area about their clinic and concept. Our bright, unusual brochure design was popular and fun to pick up and read. The 8.5" x 11" page is folded into a thin, sleek brochure that is easy to pop into a #10 envelope and mail. All of the content is presented atop the circular portion

NW Foot & Ankle

Northwest Foot and Ankle needed to replace their existing website with an e-commerce solution. We were called in to find a way to fulfill all of their needs with one site. We based the visual design on the concept of rejuvenating your life through better foot health, using the natural curve of a healthy arch and a newborn's footprint for structure and header imagery.

Heidi McBride Gallery Mailer

This gallery needed an invitation, a thank-you card and the ability to announce new artists. We created one piece that did everything by printing adhesive bands with messages for use as closures for the mailable card. This sharply curbed production costs while creating a rich, custom piece.
