Brochure Design for St. Louis Senior Living Management Company

Posted on June 24, 2014 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure, in collaboration with The Hauser Group, recently completed a new brochure for St. Andrew’s – Resources for Seniors System. The Hauser Group is one of the top public relations firms in St. Louis, MO, and St. Andrew’s is a Missouri-based senior living management company.

The new brochure showcases the joining of Cape Albeon, a Valley Park, MO faith-based retirement facility, within the St. Andrew’s family of senior living communities. The client really wanted to emphasize the merging of the two companies and requested that we incorporate circles into the design. Below you can see both the front and back cover along with two different inside spreads.

Custom Illustrated T-Shirt Design for NMFN’s St. Louis Network Office

Posted on June 18, 2014 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure recently completed a custom illustrated t-shirt design for one of Northwestern Mutual Financial Network’s St. Louis offices that will be worn by all their reps at this years annual meeting in Milwaukee, WI. They requested that we use the statue of King Louis IX of France in the design, as it is a symbol of the City of St. Louis, and it looks similar to their new rep’s statue. We also added the NMFN logo to King Louis’ scepter and as a design element in the background.

Logo Design for Comedy Club Coming to Fairview Heights, IL

Posted on May 28, 2014 by JUSTEN HONG

Do you need a new logo designed or possibly a re-brand? If so, GET IT DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! It always amazes us how companies don’t have the budget to get a quality logo designed up front, but they somehow have it for re-designs (because they aren’t happy with what they receive from less experienced designers). Your logo is the cornerstone of your brand. It directly reflects your business, so having a visually unappealing, amateur designed logo makes your company look unprofessional and amateurish.

This brings us to Hey Guys Comedy, a new comedy club coming to Fairview Heights, IL, where the old Cupids Restaurant used to be located. I believe the owners went through two to three designers/design firms before they contracted Visual Lure. In an email from one of the owners, she stated “I have had a heck of a time with a few different companies and people have not been nice at all.”

That is where we came in. After initial communications we found that they knew exactly what they wanted. They wanted a logo with a vintage microphone that was on fire. Below are our initial logo design options of the burning microphone. The last option was an extra design that we sketched while we were on the initial phone call. Check back soon to see which logo they select, and be sure to check out the comedy club when it opens.

UPDATE: The logo has been narrowed down to these final two options:

UPDATE: The final logo has been selected and is the top option above that uses the Art Deco typeface.

Fun Logo Design for a Fisheye Photo Booth Company

Posted on May 15, 2014 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure just wrapped up this new logo for Fisheye Booth, a West Virginia photo booth company that takes fun event photos using a fisheye lens. Since the photos are playful and hilarious, they wanted a “fun” logo that would stand out and be memorable. Below is the new logo design and identity package we delivered.

The logo features a fish with a camera shutter eyeball, all slightly distorted in the same way as the photo booth images. The fish is also carrying a cane and wearing a bow tie and top hat as the booth will most likely be used at weddings and other formal events. Those elements were also added because the booth will supply funny props such as glasses, hats, and other accessories to enhance the experience and the images.

New Logo and Identity Package for Iowa Photographer

Posted on May 9, 2014 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure recently completed a new logo and identity package for Brune Photography, owned by Kathie Brune, one of the photographers we had the pleasure of meeting this year at Shutterfest. Kathie wanted a handwritten script used in the logo along with a set of wings. She also requested to use the color purple. Both the wings and the color purple had a deeper meaning for her and her family.

Below you can see the final logos, both vertical and horizontal options, and below that is the new identity package (letterhead, envelope and business card design).

Logo, Identity & Packaging Design for St. Louis Metro East Photographer

Posted on May 6, 2014 by JUSTEN HONG

Niche Photography, a St. Louis Metro East photography studio owned by the talented Chad Keffer, recently came to Visual Lure to help re-brand his company. Niche main focus is on engagement and wedding photography but they have recently been dabbling into baby and children’s photography too.

Chad’s old logo consisted of a common handwritten script that seemed a little generic. He wanted his new logo to feel rich and upscale. During our creative brief we asked Chad to provide us with sample logos that he really liked. Many of the samples he provided us were very ornate, so we decided to head in that direction.

Below is the final logo, the final letterhead system and initial packaging options, which we are currently working on. We may also be designing Niche a new website, so check back soon to see how we start to visually pull his entire brand together. In the meantime, check Niche out at niche-photography.com, or facebook.com/NichePhotographySTL.
