Here are all of the logos we have created since our last logo review (in no particular order.)
Anderson Design Group:
Creating a logo for yourself is the hardest thing anyone can do. This logo has been in use for several years, and we never thought to include it in our logo reviews. Note the A in the center with the D radiating out, and the G at the perimeter holding it all together. While we love our ADG mark, we have never been quite satisfied with how the Anderson Design Group text is integrated with the mark. Here are a few ways we have combined the text and the icon. We are still looking for a perfect solution, by the way! Designer: Joel Anderson
Music City Eats:
We created a brand mark for a wine and food festival that will be in Nashville this fall. Our task was to create an identity for the festival that would present Nashville to the whole culinary and wine world and welcome them to our awesome city. Note the guitar/fork icon. We cannot say more about the festival until the web site is officially launched later in May, but it’s going to be great! Designer: Ligia Teodosiu
Fat Bottom Brewing:
East Nashville is one of the coolest things about Music City. This hip and trend-setting part of our town is full of artisans, chefs, brewers, and visionaries who are making national news with their high-quality and original products. Fat Bottom Brewing is a fine example—owner Ben Bredesen asked us to create a brand identity inspired by World War II era pin up girls—each flavor named for a woman with a similar personality and profile. Designers: Joel Anderson, Andy Gregg & Ligia Teodosiu
Dane Fitness:
This company has been selling and servicing new and used fitness equipment for 10 years. They admitted that their old logo looked more like a plucked chicken than a Viking. So our job was to create an updated brand mark that would set the tone for the next decade to come. Designers: Edward Patton & Aaron Johnson
High Brow Brew:
The owners of a new hip and trendy coffee and tea shop in Franklin Tennessee hired us to create their brand identity. The logo was made to look like a black chalkboard cafe menu with white writing on it. It was refreshing to create a logo in black and white, and to leave it at that. (Sometimes, deciding on a color palette can be the hardest part!) Designer: Ligia Teodosiu
1608:
A British entertainment finance company hired us to help them create an iconic logo that would be creative (they work with major touring performers) and established (they responsively and discreetly handle large sums of money.) So we created a strong Art Deco brand mark that does not feel too stuffy and corporate. Designer: Aaron Johnson
Hair Mama Jones:
A local hair stylist wanted to open a new salon. So we set to work creating a logo that matched her look and style. It started with a great name, and evolved into a hip, edgy tattoo-inspired logo. Designer: Ligia Teodosiu
Legato Gelato:
We love gelato. So when we were hired to create a logo for a new gelato shop, we told the client that we needed to eat a lot of gelato to get our minds around the brand concept. Our client obliged, and we created a brand identity that looks like the gelato tastes—Italian, smooth, sophisticated, and yummy! The colors were inspired by our favorite flavors and ingredients. Designer: Edward Patton
Music City Pizza:
A new Pizza Restaurant is opening in Nashville next to a favorite music venue. The club and the pizza joint will be all about music and fabulous pizza. We created a logo that hints at the experience of live indie music (the guitar pick shape) with great pizza served in a hip, energetic club atmosphere. Designer: Ligia Teodosiu
Willa’s Shortbread:
This Southern shortbread cookie maker has been in business for a long time. But they needed to retool their brand to get back to their roots of artisan-crafted, small batch, locally-made all-natural goodness—like Mama used to make. So we threw out their slick & polished-looking graphics and created new art in the style from the era when the company was founded. Designer: Ligia Teodosiu
Miracle Hockey:
A local sporting goods store owner hired us to create a logo for his store. His claim to fame is his little son, who has had over a million hits on YouTube re-enacting the sports caster commentary of the historic Miracle on Ice Olympic hockey game between the USA and the Soviet Union. Our task was to create a logo that looked like a sporting goods store inspired by that historic event. We watched the YouTube video, the movie, and lots of hockey to get our minds right. Designer: Edward Patton
Sugar & Snow Gelato:
Once we created the logo for Legato gelato, the word was out that we knew how to create great brand identities for small, gourmet gelato shops. The owner of this establishment from Asheville, NC could not send us samples to eat, (but once you’ve had great gelato, you never forget it.) Those flavor memories made their way into this logo, for sure. Designer: Ligia Teodosiu
Organic, family-owned farms are beautiful operations—the branding needs to reflect the operation, values and mission of the enterprise. We set out to create a logo and brand identity that would be personally connected to the owner, the animals, and the land. The resulting logo and brand identity was a true reflection of owner Michael Rahal and his vision for sustainable farming. Designer: Ligia Teodosiu
True South Puzzle Co.
An artisan puzzle company based in Nashville hired us to create a logo and the packaging for a line of puzzles that feature designs by lesser-known regional artists. Our logo and packaging design will help the company launch their new line of puzzles this summer. Designer: Ligia Teodosiu
ADG print series logos:
We are always creating new collections of poster art that we sell on our site and license to companies from all over the world. Each of our collections has a distinct brand look, and each line needs to have a logo that sets it apart from our other poster art collections. Here are a few of our print collection logos—some of which will be up on our site next month! Designer: Joel Anderson
Al Dente Catering:
A Nashville-based chef who owns a catering and packaged food biz asked us to help him create a new brand identity to emphasize his creative Mediterranean culinary approach. All of his food is made with fresh, all natural and organic ingredients.We kicked off the process by eating a lunch that he catered for our office. That made it a LOT easier to create a logo that would tell his story on menus, biz cards, and on the sides of delivery trucks. Designer: Ligia Teodosiu
Dan’s Gourmet:
Our client had an amazing concept—grown up mac and cheese. (This stuff is seriously gourmet-licious!) We retooled an old logo that Dan had created to sell his food at local farmer’s markets. Soon, the secret was out, and Dan had orders from some major accounts to start selling his frozen packages in grocery stores. Designer: Joel Anderson
The Pharmacy Restaurant:
An East Nashville restauranteur renovated an old pharmacy building to create a fabulous burger and beer garden. We had fun researching turn-of-the-century hand lettering and design to create this logo. No fonts were used to create this logo—all the letters were hand rendered from scratch! Designers: Andy Gregg & Joel Anderson
Saint Joseph of Arimathea:
A local Episcopal church asked us to help them update their branding. They needed one simple brand mark for signs, web sites and stationery, and another decorative seal that was more elaborate and detailed. We learn something new every time we engage with a client. Here is an interesting theological side note: the Greek word Logos means Word—it is used to identify Jesus in the gospel of John1:1, 4... “In the beginning was the Word [Logos], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.”) Designer: Ligia Teodosiu
These are all very awesome. Hire me. Please! I want to work with such design geniuses!
