If you haven't seen it yet, you can check out the logo and product packaging for Slingshot that we did here.

ON THE HORIZON...

Been working on a little somethin' somethin' for a while now, hopefully coming along soon...

VALERIE & KEVIN'S FARM TO TABLE WEDDING

Last year we created wedding invites for one of our fave contestants on Top Chef, Kevin Gillespie and his lovely fiance Valerie. Kevin owns a restaurant in Atlanta called Woodfire Grill and he wanted the invites to evoke the same farm to table attitude that his restaurant does. The wedding was featured in Atlanta Weddings magazine. Here is a photo that their photographer, Something Pretty, took of the feature as well as some detail photos of the invite shot by us.

BRANDED: KINDRED

Our friend Michelle is launching a boutique called Kindred in our city of Raleigh, NC.  They state "We are a shop that will incubate emerging NC artisans via mentorship & a boutique". It's a place where creators and artisans will receive mentorship in their journey as well as a place to sell their products. Michelle asked us if we would create a logo for Kindred.  She wanted something clean and modern yet feminine.  We wanted to give it a aged classic look but also keep it modern and fresh. Kindred is warm and inviting and we wanted the logo to reflect that as well. We wish the best of success to Michelle and company and can't wait to be a part of this boutique and watch it bloom in downtown Raleigh.

RACHEL & BRIAN'S CHARLESTON WEDDING

We are excited to see pictures from Rachel & Brian's Charleston wedding and the pieces we designed for them. Rachel had such a great idea for her southern wedding save the dates: mason jars filled with a tea bag and sugar cubes to prepare her guests for the sweet tea of the south. So we designed tags inspired by vintage tea labels as well as a sticker with the wedding info for the top featuring a hydrangea, one of her main wedding flowers, and one of our faves as well. 

For the big day, we designed stickers to place on bags full of grits (another shout to the south) for the guest to throw instead of seed or rice, programs and door hangers. Head on over to their photographer, Juliet Elizabeth's blog, for these and more images of the beautiful wedding!

BRANDED: SLINGSHOT COFFEE CO.

Introducing our most recent branding and packaging design project: Slingshot Coffee Co. This Raleigh, NC based company is not only in our hometown, but also owned by a friend of ours, Jenny Bonchak. This stuff is amazingly tasty and comes in a ready-to-drink and concentrate.

We really wanted to give the logo and overall branding a unique look that would pop off the shelf, while keeping a rustic, vintage-modern aesthetic, which was important to the client. To differentiate between the ready-to-drink and concentrate bottles, we reversed out the bold black and cream colors and added one accent color to each bottle. We used lid stickers that coordinate in color with their coffee type. This coffee is seasonal and the lid sticker text will change with each new coffee blend, describing the flavor profiles of each one. Slingshot is currently available in the Triangle area.
