Christmas Cards for a St. Louis Metro East Engineering Firm

Posted on November 6, 2014 by JUSTEN HONG

It’s that time of year again. Time for companies to get their Christmas cards designed, printed and ordered in time for the holidays.

Once again Thouvenot, Wade & Moerchen (TWM) has contracted Visual Lure for a custom designed Christmas card. This year they wanted to incorporate a water tower into the design as every year they try to highlight one of their core services. One of their specialties is water and waste-water civil engineering which includes the design of water towers.

This years card features a candy cane water tower being decorated by elves. We custom illustrated the water tower, and customized two sets of stock illustrated elves to make them look like they were wrapping the tower in lights.

Package/Label Design for a St. Louis Metro East Glass Cleaner Manufacturer

Posted on by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure recently completed the following label/package design for Bright House Glass Cleaner. Bright House is a manufacturer of household cleaning products and is located in the St. Louis Metro East in Columbia, Illinois. Visual Lure has also designed packaging for other Bright House products including their dishwashing soap. Click here to view that design project.

We feel that the new packaging looks “fresh and clean” which are the characteristics you want a glass cleaner to have. We were able to achieve this look by using a subtle “shiny/gleaming” background, a bright green and blue color palette along with clean and modern typography. The fire engine red “new burst” will also help the label jump off the shelf and attract eye-balls which is what good package design does.

Posted on October 16, 2014 by JUSTEN HONG

Kristy Eldredge is a talented Canton, Michigan photographer who specializes in high school seniors portraits. She recently came to Visual Lure for help with re-branding her studio.ย During the discovery stage of designing her new logo, she provided us with the following samples that she liked: Calvin Klein, Chanel, Fendi, Prada, Valentino and Victoria’s Secret. Almost all of these logos used monograms so that is the direction we decide to go. Below you can see our initial logo options, the final logo formats, a sample identity package, pattern, suggested typefaces and colors along with a sample watermark.

Kristy had a hard time selecting her final logo due to all the strong options we provided, but we agree with her final decision. The new mark is clean, classy and timeless.

If you need help with a logo or visual branding package give Visual Lure a call today.

Logo Design for Indianapolis, Indiana Photographer

Posted on by JUSTEN HONG

Tracy Laswell Photography, a studio based out of Indianapolis, Indiana, recently contracted Visual Lure to design a new logo. During our discovery process, Tracy provided us with some logos that he liked. Gucci, Chanel and Louis Vuitton where some of the logos he wanted his brand to emulate. These logos are all very simple and clean with monograms complementing the names. He also liked Salvatore Cincotta Photography and Ray-Ban’s logos which are script/handwritten based logos.

Our initial logo design options can be seen below which reflect the style of the logos he provided. We designed more initial monogram based logos but only chose to show the one below as we felt it was the strongest. Below the initial options are the final logo and branding package which includes the logo format options, icon/monogram options, colors, typefaces, proposed identity package and a sample watermark.

Rebranding a Montreal, Canada Photography & Videography Studio

Posted on September 30, 2014 by JUSTEN HONG

Michel Ferland is a professional photographer and videographer based out of Lachine, Quรฉbec, a borough in the city of Montreal, Canada. He found us via CreativeLive after attending one of Salvatore Cincotta’s workshops. When he came to us, his company was called M1 Photo. He felt that the name was too corporate and industrial for such a personalized business. Michel wanted to use his full name, Michel Ferland, for his studio but there was another photographer in his market, with the exact same name, who was already using it. After bouncing a bunch of names around, we decided to just use his first name.

Michel’s old logo was corporate looking, generic and unoriginal. He wanted his new brand to feel rich, high-end and luxurious. After a couple rounds of options we were not where we needed to be in the process of narrowing down a final logo. While I was working on another project, I started messing around with a call to action burst and was inspired to create what you see before you.

Below is the complete branding collection including logos, identity package, typefaces and colors. If you think this is as sharp as we do, please like and share below.

Web Design for a Denver, Colorado Chiropractor’s Office

Posted on September 29, 2014 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure recently completed this new website home page design for Chiropractic Solutions of Denver, a Colorado chiropractic practice that provides sports medicine, acupuncture, physical therapy and massage services. Their current website has an extremely high bounce rate and a very low click through rate due to its generic look and lack of call-to-actions. The new design features a strong message, “We can make you FEEL BETTER!”, which is essentially what all their services are focused towards. We also decided to showcase their Google Reviews because they have over 25 all of which have 5 star ratings. A new patient special was also added to entice users to schedule an appointment online.

Note: We were contracted to do the design only on this project as another company will be doing the development. The new website will be developed in WordPress by a Colorado based WordPress developer.
