Carve brand + design

RGD featured Carve in their recent newsletter. https://www.rgd.ca/insights/news_post/5915.php#carve

Recently wrapped up a brand design for AE Builders. They are a custom home builder looking to upscale their brand to better represent what they are building now. It was great working with them and bringing their new brand to life.

A custom home builder in Southampton was looking to up their brand game so that is exactly what I did.

Just getting caught up on some recent branding projects. Get Buzz Chocolate Toppings at a speciality grocer near you soon. https://eat-buzz.com/

I love when you get these little surprises in your inbox! Carve has been fortunate enough to be included in the LogoLounge series of design books in the past and looks like Carve made the cut once again with the Northview Funeral Chapel logo design. Westview Funeral Chapel

Mike Barry does high-quality architectural photography but was feeling his brand (or lack of brand) wasnt putting his talents in front of the right clients and decided it was time to invest and make the step up. He wanted to make sure his logo was different than other photographers and still have some personality to it. A bold and distinct serif font was used for his name to contrast the sans serif. The design element comes from an architectural perspective of a room crossed with the view-finder of a camera. Love how this turned out and look forward to seeing the Mike Barry brand come to life now!

Christopher Nolan messages bike company of the same name of his new movie and says he didnt mean to copy their logo. Some good arguments in the notes for either way but I think that Nolan could tweak his logo slightly (italics maybe) to differentiate better. Thoughts?

Whoa. Next level stuff here. Love this creativity.

I love how these flash cards have turned out. The concept is to help kids (and probably adults too) express how they are feeling when sometimes they cant find the words or are scared/confused/unsure of what they are experiencing. Just recently launched and I think these decks will be an amazing tool to have available for teachers, parents, and anyone dealing with confusing emotions in these uncertain times. #ifeellikeabear #carvexdesign

This could really be a game-changer for BK. #highfive

Who are 100 Thieves and why you need to know about their branding strategy. https://brandmarketingblog.com//good-branding/100-thieves/ Traditional sports are losing fans for the first time in history to esports. Whats esports? Ask your teenager and they will tell you it is video game competitions. Watching other people play video games is a thing. And investors are throwing tons of money at it but making money is the challenge. 100 Thieves is building their brand like no other in this industry and it has attracted the likes Drake, Scooter Braun and Dan Gilbert as investors. Very interesting article on the branding business of this new segment.

My favourite flavour, and design too, if I must say...

Thats me standing in the alley.

Is your brand telling the right story? https://justcreative.com/2020/01/17/brand-storytelling

Beauty is everywhere.

Luckily we designers would never make these mistakes.

This is showing a brand coming to life! Personality was designed into this packaging on purpose. Your brand is more than a logo and this is a great example. #soulpurposebars

Soul Purpose Bars now have their branded boxes back from the print and they look as great as the bars taste. Looking forward to seeing them on shelves that sell the healthy good stuff soon!

Ballpoint pen FTW! It was only a matter of time. Lets see how long before the copy-cats start turning up. https://www.creativebloq.com/news/gucci-logo

"...particularly impressed with the packaging..." Yes, love to see client wins. And dont get me wrong, these bars taste great too. The package design actually doesnt do it justice.

A good read here on why people will pay more for ]status brands like Supreme, Ferrari, Rolls Royce, etc https://brandmarketingblog.com//branding-defi/veblen-good/
