While working on contract at Print Pros Plus in Thunder Bay Ontario, Melanie worked with the Owner and his team to finalize this logo. Then moved on to updating their branding across the board. Choosing the font was the biggest and most important aspect of this project as the Business Owner was looking for just the right font to speak to him and we found it!

This was obviously a super fun project! We worked on The Tasty Oven logo until we came up with just the right look and then designed the cards. We had so many great ideas and finally narrowed it down to this—the client is quite pleased and so are we.

By the time we came on the EPIC scene, the logo had more or less been designed... we just tweaked it a little. Using a fun, thick font for "INDOOR BIKE PARK" and instead of using the huge, heavy photo of wood that was part of the original logo, we did a black & white version easier to use for printed collateral. The wood look was still used in a few spots. These cards were the start of many designs like this. Unfortunately, EPIC took a big chance in trying something new in Ottawa and while they were well received, were not able to make a go of it and closed December 2015.

When Mark Kranenburg decided to start his own business, he came to us with a certain idea in mind of what his branding should communicate—a home builder of high quality and environmentally responsible. Since it's inception Greenmark Builders have gone on to build exceptional homes in the Ottawa area, winning some awards along the way.

Soul in Motion is a brand created by Lydia, a counsellor, coach, workshop facilitator and author of “Imagine: Using mental imagery to reach your full potential”. Lydia came to us to update her logo without drifting too far from her original designs. So we kept the dolphin, changed the fonts and colours. We went with the water flowing theme through-out her logo, cards, letterhead and website. See more

Cheryl has been a long-time client and has this incredible entrepreneurial spirit being part of many ventures. When she came to me with the news she was going to be a Realtor I thought “well of course, that makes perfect sense!” We had to work especially hard on this card as there are many rules to follow when you work with a large company like ReMax. We are all happy with the outcome!

The first rendition was gold & burgandy on a spotted, warm-toned paper with a colourized photo of a mural of Toronto. The Client wanted to update this look and we went for a black & white card with 1 spot colour for a bold look. We drew the mural instead for a crisp digital illustrative style.

This was a start-up business looking to build a new brand based on the latin word "praetor" which represents a Roman army leader. The card design is professional and subtle to allow the metallic paper to shine through.

With Sophie, I learned that for those whose businesses are based around themselves, not just a product or service, their brand is very personal. As a designer, I came up with some really cool options that got rejected because they just weren't her... after talking about it and trying a few options, we came up with this design which she felt was perfect for her!

Jenn's Jems designs stunning jewelry and needed business cards for the shows and private parties. The logo and original card were done a number of years ago. This card is a recent update where we used new fonts for a fresh look.

The owners of this high-tech start-up wanted a name that meant something so they chose Petra to represent not only his name (Peter) but that idea of building a company on a solid foundation. This design even 8 years later, still looks great (we might be slightly biased here...)
