Logo Upgrade for Local Medical Aesthetics Office

Posted on April 21, 2022 by JUSTEN HONG

Not all the logo and branding work we do starts from scratch. Sometimes we are brought in – to simply update, tweak, or adjust a logo – which was the case here.

Pure 111 was moving offices and wanted to fine tune their logo for their new building signage. When we reviewed their existing logos we noticed there were different icons being used (see the “before” below), and their horizontal and vertical logo options felt disconnected – both because of the different icons, but also because of the different typefaces being used. The logotype also felt generic and unrefined.

Our solutions was to polish up the icon, and update the type. We created a custom R which still felt super modern, but gave the logotype a touch of femininity. It also made it look more custom, and not so “out of the box”. We slightly lightened the type too – which made it feel a little more refined and stylish. Their new offices and signage turned out great!

Do you have an existing logo that looks dated or unrefined but you’re hesitant to explore a complete redesign because you feel it has too much brand equity or brand recognition? Or maybe you just need an existing logo converted into vector artwork with different formats. Either way, Visual Lure can help.

Label Designs for Award Winning Meat Rubs

Posted on April 11, 2022 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure recently helped redesign labels for King Louie’s Meat Apostles, a St. Louis area award-winning seasoning company with meat rubs for almost every protein – including some for vegetables.

Before:

Their previous labels did not look or feel like award-winning rubs. The fonts used felt inappropriate, and the craftsmanship was lacking to say the least.

After:

The owner wanted the new labels to leap off the shelves and feel more luxurious. He also wanted to use a metallic paper that would make the gold elements on the label really stand out and pop! White was printed on the labels to hide the metallic effect on certain areas, such as the nutrition facts, the black bar, and the bar code. All the gold – along with the eyes, the metal in the crown, and the gold leaf – shimmer on the final product. We couldn’t be happier with how these turned out.

Below is an entire sample label, and below that is the entire product line.

UPDATE:

Hot off the press, and on the shelves! So cool to see the labels we designed for King Louie’s Meat Apostles in stores.

5th Anniversary Logo Design for a St. Louis Area Rail Road Company

Posted on by JUSTEN HONG

One of our favorite types of logos to design are anniversary marks. Why? Because we get to create a unique logo, but it still has to compliment and vibe with the existing brand. On this logo, our client wanted their 5th anniversary logo to be inspired by vintage rail road logos. Below are our initial five proposed options.

The top left emblem is the winning design. They liked it so much that we created another seal (bottom right) that will be used as a secondary brand mark.
