Visual Lure was recently contracted to design a logo and identity package for Standard Construction Group, an Ohio based construction company.ย  The identity package will include designs for business cards, letterhead and envelopes.ย  The only creative direction we received from the client was that the new logo design should be simple, masculine and strong.

Logo Design Package for Annapolis, Maryland Photographer

Posted on March 1, 2013

Visual Lure was recently contracted to design multiple new logos for David Hartcorn Photography.ย  David Hartcorn is a very talented professional photographer from Annapolis, Maryland and he knew exactly what he wanted for his new logo.ย  He wanted a custom typeface logo inspired by his actual signature.ย  Below you can see his actual signature along with the final logo.ย  The new logo needed to be refined so that it was legible, but still maintain the same “feel” as his signature.

Next, we designed a logo for David’s premier photography line called Black Label Collection. He wanted the Black Label logo to look classy and high-end.ย  You can see that logo design below along with an unused logo option to the right of it. Below that, you can see a logo for his sub-brand Studio 98 Photography and a secondary “cartoon” mark he sometimes uses with his signature.

Family Crest/Coat of Arms for the Broyles, a St. Louis Metro East Family

Posted on February 5, 2013

Visual Lure was recently contracted to design a custom family crest/coat of arms for the Broyles, a St. Louis Metro East family. Using design elements taken from both sides of his family crests, plus adding new elements, we combined them to create a new custom coat of arms. Our client wanted the new crest to look centuries old, so we drew the entire crest by hand and kept that feel when we converted it into digital artwork.

Here is the initial sketch our client provided us:

Logo Design for St. Louis Recycling Company

Posted on January 25, 2013

Visual Lure was recently contracted to redesign a logo for St. Louis Recycling, a St. Louis recycling company that offers single stream recycling. Single stream recycling refers to the system in which all paper, cardboard and plastic containers are mixed together in a collection truck, instead of having to be sorted into separate commodities by the business and handled separately throughout the collection process. This makes it easier, and more convenient, for companies to recycle.

We design a large amount of logos for companies in St. Louis, and we usually cringe when one of them request us to use the St. Louis Gateway Arch in the logo design. Why? Because the Arch tends to be overused in St. Louis logos, but sometimes it just makes sense, and this is one of those cases.ย  The new logo features the St. Louis arch integrated into the universal symbol for recycling. A clever, simple and memorable logo.

Logo Design for a Professional Photographer in Germany

Posted on November 28, 2012

Visual Lure was recently contracted to design a new logo for Thomas Wusher Photography, a talented professional photographer from Germany.ย  In our research and discovery stage, he provided the following information: “What I want is a logo to “sign” my work and products with that has a touch of luxury and personality. I love logos that look handwritten. It has to be easy to read, print, and emboss, because I want to use it online, on my business papers, embossing on albums and on the packaging of my goods.”ย  Below are his old logo, the new logo design and a couple of our initial logo design options.ย  You can view Thomas’ website at www.ThomasWuscher.com.
