Brand identity and design solutions for creative businesses and passionate entrepreneurs
A new favorite on Etsy is Woodland Belle. They make amazing tiny succulent garden jewelry so that you can have your very own collection of succulents, nestled in a sterling silver setting. Each realistic succulent is meticulously hand crafted from a plastic compound and “planted” in a sterling silver pendant. How beautiful!
What is it about Trader Joe’s that keeps you going back despite the crowded aisles and long check-out lines? For some, it is the amazing prices and the quality ingredients. Personally, I frequent the store to peruse the shelves filled with their beautiful private-label packaging.
Like most grocery stores, Trader Joe’s has their own generic line. Unlike the majority, I actually love the packaging of the store brand! With their close attention to detail, Trader Joe’s continues to dispel the cheap and generic store-brand stigma and creates an irresistible shopping experience. A great example of how good design and a consistent brand identity can lead to success.

A few of my friends have this inside joke “Nip Chop” and I thought it deserved a shirt. When I finally got to hand them out everyone laughed all night over them, it was great! I can’t wait to get stared on the next one for them.

Rose Crescent is a New Orleans based software design company that provides world-class business-focused, goal-oriented systems with exceptional quality, stability and usability. The name of the company was inspired by Rose Crescent, a street in Cambridge, England and the city of New Orleans, which is also known as The Crescent City. The goal was to create an identity that is clean and simple as well as references the origin of the name and conveys the utility and reliability of the brand. The crescent petals scattered in an irregular way on the business card give a sense of the logo being a solution to a scattered problem.
