Branding

By erich on April 23, 2012

I’ve always been intrigued by brand­ing. I’m not talk­ing about the indus­try of trade­marks and iden­tity design, I’m talk­ing about the prac­tice of burn­ing sym­bols onto the skin of cat­tle or humans as a sign of own­er­ship, slav­ery, oppres­sion or even a rite of pas­sage. That sounds kind of bru­tal, but that was the way […]

Honing a Logo

Honing a Logo

By erich on April 16, 2012

While devel­op­ing the direc­tions through sketches for Clyve, the cut­lery brand with a bend for ama­teur culi­nary enthu­si­asts, I found myself in the com­fort of a big couch. On the couch, it’s hard to draw, but not so much with an iPad. Specif­i­cally, it is a lit­tle eas­ier to erase using the iPad than to […]

Some Inspiration

Some Inspiration

By erich on April 12, 2012

Brand­ing a house in Ore­gon. I’m still digest­ing it really. Is it so for­eign a con­cept? I stum­bled upon some­thing at one of my favorite blogs, Iden­tity Designed, that presents a project based on the dynamism of sun play across an archi­tec­tural sub­mis­sion to an annual inter­na­tional con­test called the Solar Decathlon. Their sub­mis­sion is […]

Sketches for Clyve

Sketches for Clyve

By erich on April 9, 2012

Not going to leave this client behind. Cer­tainly there was a hic­cup in my sched­ule as of late. It’s a good thing though, lots of pro­fes­sional work hap­pen­ing in the back­ground, and I’ll just have to use this as a chal­lenge to get mul­ti­ple brands done at the same time. Clyve was nudged to the side […]

Client 16: A House In Oregon

Client 16: A House In Oregon

By erich on April 5, 2012

The word brand­ing has taken on the pre­dis­po­si­tion that it per­tains only to busi­nesses. It seems to come with the ter­ri­tory that the only rea­son you are brand­ing some­thing is so that you can sell it. Cer­tainly there are exam­ples of brand­ing in the world whose goal is less about busi­ness enter­prise and more about […]

Current Client: A House In Oregon

Brand­ing that is less about sell­ing prod­ucts or ser­vices and more about giv­ing iden­tity to some­thing a fam­ily has great sat­is­fac­tion in: their com­fort­able for­est home in Ore­gon. The goal is to pro­vide a graphic mark that sings in the spirit of the home and gives the house, and its fam­ily, pride and a sense of sin­gu­lar­ity.

The client has offered these words to help dis­tin­guish their iden­tity:
• happy
• beauty
• river & for­est
• peace­ful­ness
• wel­com­ing
• fam­ily & friends
