One piece of this experience is a logo mark, a simplified symbol or icon for a brand.
Logo marks are a small but impactful part of a brand identity and are meant to be scalable and easily recognizable.

Throughout the project we explored energetic visuals, a 3-D type exploration and multiple patterns for the brand, and wanted the work to feel like it was moving, and to jump out at you! Boompaâs guiding message of âLet the Wild Out!â meant every aspect of the brand needed to be confident and expressive to showcase and promote this soul and energy.
âBoompa is the exclamation mark when you land that new trick, make that goal or win that dance off. Itâs claiming back that self confidence and not giving a flying fox!â - Koa

If you took away the logo, would people still remember and connect with the essence of your brand? Itâs the story, values, and emotions behind the visuals that truly define your brand and resonate with people long after theyâve seen your logo.
If youâre ready to showcase your story, letâs make it happen! đĄâ¨

The vision for the branding was a mixture of type, color and design elements that conveyed a bold but approachable message. We wanted the designs to mirror Rexâs fun, bright and motivational approach to fitness and wellness.
We used strong visual elements paired with a vibrant color palette to reflect energy and movement as well.

Joygem is a woman-founded food company that empowers all people to slay their hangry vibes with convenient nourishment. This unchosen branding concept for Joygem was meant to showcase this divine product with subtle nods to the Southwest, and it sure was a fun one. This was not the chosen concept but the final one is even better! Stay tuned!

On-brand gifs, illustrations, and icons are some additional items we like to incorporate when designing a brandâs visual identity. By adding in these custom designs they provide a great opportunity to add personality, movement, and give a little extra life to a brand. This simple gif here is from a recent concept for a current client that was meant to represent mindfulness. đ

The brand has a unique, signature style and Stretchlace wanted their packaging to continue to display their range of stretchy shoelaces. We created 5 custom package designs for them with hand drawn illustration and type to help display the uniqueness of each product and to showcase how valuable their products are.

Seed Retreat is a community that creates experiences to deepen our connection to ourselves, nature, and the world. Through the practices of running, mindfulness, and sports psychology, Seed Retreat explores our relationship to movement and what it means to be fully alive.
This project was a full brand identity along with a website, including various logos, marks, icons, illustrations, a type palette, photo direction, and a custom color palette to tie it all together!
When we work with our clients we dig deep into their purpose and values to create a unique and lasting brand identity that authentically communicates who they are and what they do.

Another thing Kelsey had mentioned was how she loved the symbology of a sun, which worked really nicely with the name, So Much Life. We made the sun mark to not only complement the designs but also to be a symbol for life, a new day and a new start. This little mark is a nice little cherry on top to complement what Kelsey has already built.
This was a wonderful project, and I really enjoyed working with Kelsey to help bring her vision to LIFE.â¨

It was a joy, and an absolute honor, to work with writer, composer, lyricist, performer, podcaster, kabarettist and coach Amy Jo on this.
We designed the visual identity for the musical, as well as promotional materials.
