The sans serif lettering adds a high-end look and luxury to the brand and, at the same time, the rough, textured graphic of the dog has more ambiguous nature that gives the logo an old-world vibe.
Labrador Retriever has been chosen as the main image of Acosta Capital brand because of its physique, profile, and demeanor.
At the same time, the graphic of the animal holding the lantern conveys the loyalty, trust, intelligence, and approachability. The dog is stepping on coastal, sand dune thicket landscape, while making reference to the La Jolla · California, where the boutique is located.")

The main goal was to creare a meaningful logo with elegant, luxury, premium features. It was, moreover, essential to portray a Imperial symbol. The concept has been represented with an image of the Persian Phoenix holding the sword. The Phoenix, in Persian society or any culture, means the might and is a mystic representation of the bird, so it conveys perfectly the brand concept.")

Sky Puppy Brewing brand has a strong connection to the casual and dark (Gothic) theme, hence the idea of incorporating a bat and the name of the brewery 'Sky Puppy'. Bats often represent death in the sense of letting go of the old, and bringing in the new. They are symbols of transition, of initiation, and the start of a new beginning.
The graphic itself combines two styles, modern and traditional. The sun in gold color gradient gives a high-end touch and the hand-drawn style of the bat graphic adds to the overall artisan feel of the brand.")

Ara had a general idea of bold logo with jaguar head as the centre with antique, distressed look of an art deco sunburst radiating from it. I added the monogram made by JD letters into the brand, to complement the illustrative logo and which can be used scaled-down when necessary.")

Violets are the first blooms after a dark winter, and this restaurant and cooking school is meant to be a bright, happy and enriching gathering place for the community. The existing sign was the part that couldn't be changed, so the new addition had to make the logo conveys the message of delicious home cooking, comfort, quirky cool, alluring and feminine.")
