Logo Design & WordPress Web Design for New York Photographer

Posted on December 8, 2011 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure was recently contracted to design a logo for Tony Calarco, a very talented New York based photographer and owner of Tony Calarco Photography.ย  He wanted to start building a fashionable, modern, high-end looking brand, so in the development of the new look we explored multiple sans-serif and script style typefaces. In the end, we went with a unique customized sans-serif type. We also created a complementary icon that he can use as a watermark, in background images, etc.

We are currently in the planning stages of redesigning his website, but feel free to check out his photography at www.tonycalarco.com.

Check back soon for news about his new website design.

Doyald Young, Logotype Designer

Posted on November 14, 2011 by JUSTEN HONG

I just noticed that Doyald Young passed away earlier this year.ย  Doyald was a master logotype designer and world class typographer.ย  I had the pleasure of meeting him at a St. Louis AIGA lecture a couple years ago.ย  He was kind, witty and had a special demeanor and presence that made you feel instantly comfortable.ย  Here is a great video showcasing him and some of his work.

Package Design for New USAF Academy Band CD

Posted on November 9, 2011 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure was recently contracted to design the packaging for a new USAF CD titled Sonata in Blue.ย  It will feature the Rampart Winds of the United States Air Force Academy Band.ย  The band provided the following direction: “We want to visually showcase the five individuals that make up the quintet. ย Not necessarily with their pictures, but with some other representation. ย The instruments used are flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and French horn. ย We would like to the cover to be recognizable as an Air Force product in some fashion…”

With this guidance, we came up with the concept of five F16s (representing the quintet) flying in formation with music (notes and symbols) coming out of the jet’s contrails (exhaust).ย  Below is our initial proposed cover. Check back soon to see the finished product.

Custom Illustrated Christmas Card for St. Louis Area Engineering Firm

Posted on by JUSTEN HONG

TWM, a St. Louis area engineering firm, recently contracted Visual Lure to create custom illustrated Christmas cards this year.ย  With complete creative control, we designed a card that features a couple of piggybacking elves working with a snowman on a land survey.ย  We also added a red gloved engineer inspecting a “season’s greetings” blueprint, and to finish it off, we added a snowy St. Louis skyline.ย  In addition to design services, we also wrote the copy: “We hope all your plans and dreams are fulfilled this holiday season!”.
