Rush Logo Design for St. Louis Area Wedding Gown Store

Posted on December 16, 2011 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure were recently contracted to design a logo for Wedding Gallery Couture, a high-end designer store for wedding dresses and gowns. They are located in St. Charles, MO and carry designer wedding gowns ranging from $2000 to $15000. They carry gowns designed by Ines Disanto, Yumi Katsura, Simone Carvalli, Marisa, Anais by St. Pucchi, and their own private collection.

This logo design was turned around in less than 24 hours. Although we definitely prefer not to work with such little time, sometimes the powers that be don’t give us a choice. With national publication ads needing to be submitted the very next day, we turned up the speed to meet the deadline.

Logo Design for New York Photographers Specializing in Boudoir Style Photography

Posted on December 12, 2011 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure was recently contracted to design a new logo for Boudoir Rocks, a New York team of photographers that specialize in boudoir style photography. They really wanted the new logo to have a hidden meaning or a symbol that was integrated into the design somehow. They also wanted a separate design element that they could use as a watermark.  Below are our initial logo design options that we provided to our client. All the logo designs show horizontal, vertical and watermark options.

The logo design below features a “tattoo style” heart and arrow that create the letter B. We figured what is more “rock” than a tattoo, right? Both the typefaces used in “boudoir” and “rocks” where hand drawn and converted into vector art.

The next logo features a brassiere that creates the letter B.  We custom illustrated the bra so that it complemented the style of the typeface:

Our final logo design option features a simple monogram made out of the letters B and R:

Packaging Design for Feline Related Products

Posted on December 8, 2011 by JUSTEN HONG

Visual Lure recently finished these two package designs for feline products developed by a St. Louis area pharmaceutical company. One is for feline hairball control and the other aids in the management of feline Herpes Virus-1 related diseases. Unlike many cat medicines, these are pleasant tasting to felines, making them easy to administer for pet owners. These products are sold exclusively by veterinarians.

UPDATE: The complete Capilex packaging design printed and photographed.

Logo Design & WordPress Web Design for New York Photographer

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