Our Pumpkin Pie Latte is a customer favorite, seasonally available each fall.  Aiming to announce its arrival in epic fashion, we produced this short promo for social media, having a bit of a go at Starbucks in the process. It yielded an epic response two years ago and continues to generate comments and visits.

benner law - inkblot client

key elements:  The minimalist, impressionistic “B” and “L,” allude to the sails of a ship and ocean waves - a key component to this firm’s field of practice. Combined with the Byington font, the concept marries a strong, serifed typeface that suggests stability and strength with the soft curves of the abstract logo mark.

karm thrift stores - inkblot client

key elements:  Hired to complete a brand overhaul for existing KARM brand initiative Corners of Your Field, this logo was one of several campaign elements, along with the video above. Fresh color and angular design evokes both the "corners" theme and house imagery central to the campaign's message.
