75 Year Anniversary Logo for the Little Ski Hill!

Seventy Five Years of The Little Ski Hill and Bear Basin Nordic Center in McCall, Idaho!
I absolutely love working with Payette Lakes Ski Club. Check them out at www.littleskihill.org
This logo stays true to the logo and branding Wheelie Creative made for them last year, yet celebrates the milestone of 75 years by adding a very vintage look and feel. (The letters of "Little Ski Hill" and "Bear Basin Nordic Center" are the same ones I photoshopped straight off a photo of the original sign hanging on the side of the lodge in McCall.)
Love the Little Hill! Congrats on 75 Big Ones!

What's in a Brand?

8/21/2012

I've been lucky enough to land a lot of branding projects lately--everything from a chain of kidney hospitals to a dog rescue group. Branding is one of my very favorite parts of my job. I get to help companies express who they really are, and it is a blast.

Medical design is extremely different from animal design. Health industry branding is typically calm, sterile, simple, and geometric. (see announcement postcard to the left.) If you're at a doctor's office, you already have a lot on your mind, so the design should be as clear and easy to read as possible.  My personal art style is usually bright, often humorous, and almost always playful, so branding a medical company is actually a very enjoyable challenge to contain myself, reel the ideas in, and keep the design simple. Branding is all about portraying the essence of the company, and as a designer, I feel quite lucky to get to listen hard, explore the options, and help companies visually show the world who they are and what they're all about.

Picture
On the opposite end of the design spectrum from medical branding, and in the same day at work, I am creating marketing materials for a new dog rescue group out of Fort Collins, Colorado. They want a strong tie to Colorado flag colors-- blue, yellow, red, and white-- and a fun, cartoony dog logo. Animal marketing lends itself quite well to photographs, casual typography, and vivid colors.

Launched The Climbing Zine website!

After months of collaboration with Colorado climber and writer, Luke Mehall, we created and launched his brain child-- The Climbing Zine.com  The Climbing Zine is an online and print publication featuring high-quality literature from climbers about the pursuit of passion. It is a great project, and I am psyched to be part of it. Click on the photo above to visit The Climbing Zine website.
I love a good story, and there are plenty of them to be found in The Climbing Zine. Luke Mehall, you rock!

Spoke Stoke is a female bicycle collective along the Wasatch Front. They asked me to make a logo that would appeal to all ages of women, encompass both road and mountain biking, and be athletic with just a hint of girly. This is what I came up with-- a wheel for a sun, spokes for sun rays, and mountains for mountain bikes and paved roads for road bikes. They were stoked. Go ride bikes with them if you live in Utah!

Hoppy Dog Brewing Co in Fort Collins asked me to make a logo for them earlier this year, and this is what I came up with. Dan and John are great guys, by the way, and I know the brewery will be a success. The logo is based on Dan's dog Theo, with hops in his mouth. They are currently selling shirts with this logo, and 100% of the proceeds go to Animal House! Check out this article on the boys that was recently in the Fort Collins Coloradoan.

I have to admit-- the new facebook timeline is pretty visually confusing.... Your eyes have to fall down the page like a game of ping pong, bouncing between columns until your head hurts. Hopefully the layout changes, and I do wonder why it looks the way it does. However, the very cool thing about the facelift is the new cover picture feature. It's 851 x 315 pixels of creative space-- you can do whatever you want for your business in this space. I have decided to go with a photographic montage for now.... it's fun, it's real, and I got to use a bunch of photographs that have been waiting for something more than restlessly residing in my iphoto library. Check out the new timeline cover photo for Wheelie Creative Design, and feel free to drop  a line here or the facebook page anytime!
