Postcard announcing the Annual Winter Sale at JD Madison. The focus of the sale was on floor models, so the silhouettes of stacked furniture and accessories convey the immediacy of taking items home on the same day.
Focus the Nation Identity
Focus the Nation is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing opportunities for community education on clean energy, sustained engagement with elected officials, networking youth initiatives, and developing clean energy leaders. Their branding needed to be inspirational, serious (yet spirited) and focused on governmental participation and clean energy. A lot to pack into a single image, but we think we succeeded.

The site is currently in beta, but should be fully operational soon! We also designed the logo and branding for this great organization.

Direct Mail Gets Exotic
Here’s a direct mail piece we created for Madison Millinger Extraordinary Rugs here in Portland. The card is for their Annual Sale and has a decidedly exotic flavor. Look for it in your mailbox this week, or sign-up for their mailing list now to receive future announcements.
Logo Designs Make the Cut
We are patting ourselves on the back after learning that two logos we designed and illustrated were chosen by Logo Lounge for inclusion in their 5th compendium of logo designs. From the e-release:
For Book 5, there were 33,000 logos submitted for consideration and the caliber of work was exceptional. Each judge reviewed thousands of logos from around the world, each mark submitted by talented LogoLounge members. The final collection is not only an excellent point-in-time examination, it is full to the brim with inspiration, higher thinking, and craftsmanship. The new book will be released by Rockport Publishers in early Summer 2009
The chosen logos are the Green mark we did for Studio JDM, and the “Huge Head” mascot for Huge Magazine. Based on previous volumes of the books, we will be in very fine company.
