Logo Designs for a St. Louis Alfa Romeo Restoration Company

Posted on October 13, 2025

We recently had the opportunity to design an entire logo collection for Classic Motoring STL, a St. Louisโ€“based company that specializes in the restoration and repair of vintage Alfa Romeos. Founded by Harden Ervin and Brandon Benack, the shop combines more than 40 years of experience and a shared passion for classic automobiles. Our goal was to create a brand identity that reflects their expertise, craftsmanship, and appreciation for timeless automotive design โ€” something that feels both authentic to the Alfa Romeo legacy and distinctly their own.

Our initial round of explorations took inspiration from vintage Alfa Romeo logos, which we adapted into various Classic Motoring STL logo options. Below are the initial proposed designs:

…and after multiple rounds of revisions, here is a sampling of the final collection. The designs were inspired by classic Alfa Romeo badges, featuring a custom CM monogram, bespoke typography wrapped within traditional Alfa-style grille shapes, and a reimagined logotype inspired by the original script.Classic Motoring Logo Designs

…we also had the privilege of designing two-sided banners for their appearance at the 2025 Alfa Romeo Owners Club USA National Convention in Chicago:

Logo & Packaging for New Healthy Dog Snacks Brand

Posted on June 11, 2024

DogNosh, an emerging pet brand specializing in dog snacks, enlisted Visual Lure for the development of their new logo and packaging design. As a brand focused on promoting canine health, they expressed a preference for the color green and sought a modern and refreshing aesthetic. Below, we present our initial logo concepts, followed by corresponding packaging designs.

In the top left corner, we present a logotype featuring a custom hand-drawn ‘g’, subtly incorporating a hidden dog face within the ‘og’ combination. The custom ‘g’ in the logo provides a sense of fun and uniqueness, contributing to its memorability.

In the top right corner, we explore a modern condensed logotype, with customized lettering and curved edges strategically placed for added visual interest.

For a touch of playfulness, we developed a logotype in the bottom left corner, where we integrated a dog tail into the letter ‘S’. This whimsical element adds charm while maintaining the brand’s essence.

Lastly, we ventured into more unconventional territory with a design aimed at disrupting the typical visual landscape of dog snack packaging. This concept pushes boundaries to ensure maximum visibility and shelf impact, setting DogNosh apart from mainstream competitors.

New Logo for Private Bar/Lounge Coming to O’Fallon, Illinois

Posted on April 29, 2024

BEYOND is a private, members-only bar/lounge coming to the Blade Building’s 5th floor in O’Fallon, Illinois. The founder described the establishment as follows:

BEYOND isnโ€™t just a haven for the finest cocktails, but a sanctuary where people gather to inspire and be inspired. Our Founding Fathers envisioned BEYOND as a place where people could shed the weight of everyday expectations and dare to dream bigger and reach further. And so, BEYOND lives up to its name, helping its members reach BEYOND their dreams, see BEYOND the possible, and believe in their wildest imagination. Pursue what seems impossible. Go BEYOND.

Here were our initial explorations which were heavily inspired by bourbon logos and labels:

…and here are the final logo lockups. The final logo was inspired by a barrel, but in an abstract/ambiguous way as bourbon, whiskey, and wine all use barrels to age and refine.
