Tools can build. Tools can destroy. A logo's purpose is to identify a business and reinforce the experience the business provides to its customers and employees. #logodesign #identitydesign #brandidentity #branding #branddesign #customerexperience #smallbusiness #smallbiz #visualidentity #logo

Day of the Dead skull, fundraising t-shirt design. I'm familiar with the feast day and its significance, but I don't know much about how the skulls are traditionally sculpted or decorated. Cultural accuracy wasn't really a concern here, but I did want the design to feel somewhat authentic and believable. Is this a hit or a miss? Tell me why in the comments.

Great News: Pizzeria Moto has been returned to its original owner and founder, Jay Clement. When the company launched back in 2011, Jay hired an unknown designer named TJ Barranger to create the original Pizzeria Moto logo. The business eventually changed hands (and branding), but continued to provide gourmet wood-fired pizza and culinary delicacies at events throughout Virginia. Congratulations to Jay for revisiting his vision and passion. Check out Pizzeria Moto on Facebook and give them a Like. #entrepreneurship #smallbiz #smallbusiness #cuisine #catering #smallbizowners #smallbrands #branding https://lnkd.in/eEt8RiaW

Choosing and laying out the visual components of a business card can mean the difference between a customer's wallet and the wastebasket. #businesscarddesign #graphicdesign #businesscards #marketingtools #businesstools #smallbusiness #smallbiz
Logo/identity designer for small and enterprise brands. Creator of content. Maker of things. Solver of problems. Big ideas for small business.
Unpopular opinion: A well-designed business card is still one of the best and most economical ways to promote a small business. In today's digital marketplace, cards may seem rather quaint. Most people don't carry billfolds around with them anymore. But still, there is significant value in a physical object that illustrates who a business serves. And I would argue that the pace at which we live our lives in 2024 suggests an even greater need for tools that enable potential customers to update their digital contacts when it's convenient for them. So no, cards aren't dead yet. But to be effective, cards should be promotional as well as informational. A good card will influence the prospect to save your contact information, and will implant your business in his or her mind long after the physical card is gone. #graphicdesign #businesscarddesign #businesscards #businesstools #marketing #smallbusiness #smallbiz #smallbiztips #marketingtools #betterbusinesscards

Wearing your logo has several benefits... Some are concrete and obvious: -Brand awareness; -Advertising/promotion; -Customer experience; and some are more subtle and abstract: -Employee pride/confidence; -Accountability; -Professionalism. There is something about wearing a uniform or branded apparel that makes us carry ourselves with confidence and assume responsibility for the brand. Customers notice and appreciate this. #uniform #brandedgear #logodesign #appareldesign #brandedapparel #branding #branddesign #customerexperience

Branded gear is all about getting your name "out there." Out where, exactly? Putting your business name in front of the right audience takes a lot of effort, and a little luck. This summer rental logotype is recognizable to the locals along the Jersey shore, but the business is really targeted towards visitors and vacationers. Does that mean this cap wouldn't make a good gift for locals? Not necessarily. It's a great gift for permanent residents who don't rent space. And while visitors who see it will already have their space for this season, it can certainly spark conversation about their travel plans for next summer. How effective is a piece like this here in Baltimore? You'd be surprised how many people I've met here who actually vacation in New Jersey. You just never know. #brandedgear #logodesign #logotypedesign #merchandise #identitydesign #branddesign #identitydesign #brandidentity #smallbiz #smallbusiness #mondaymotivation #smallbiztips #branding #smallbrands

A brief glimpse into how I turn a concept sketch into a digital illustration using Inkscape. My drawing skills leave a lot to be desired, but I sketch quickly, just to visualize the idea and create a rough blueprint to follow. The software allows me to create perfect circles and other symmetrical elements. But perfect is boring snd unnatural. I use combinations of shapes, curves, and freehand lines to form the overall structure of the drawing. Once it's established, I go back and modify some of the lines to make it feel more natural and organic. #inkscape #illustration #vectorart #vectorillustration #graphicdesign #appareldesign #tshirtdesign #creativity #workflow #creativeprocess
