Description

After moving into our new office, we wanted to create name recognition and build a unique image. Our idea was to use our name photographed in odd and therefore memorable locations. The photography mimics our approach of simple and direct messaging and is devoid of a specific style, which speaks to our ability to adapt to different solutions effectively. The details were of equal importance. We used double-thick cards and letterpress printing on a high-cotton-content stock to create a tactile experience that complements the visual impact.
