Rarely do we get the opportunity to flex all of our muscles at the same time, but Spear Inc. in Mason, OH let us take the reigns, and rework their identity, their website, their environmental branding and their interior design, simultaneously.

It takes a lotta guts to give over that much control so we worked our hardest to make sure they knew they made the right decision. We turned their 1980’s office park reception and label plant into the global headquarters it really is. From first impression to conference to factory tour to closing handshake, Spear’s clients can get an impression of who Spear is, the value they bring as partners, the way they have changed the beverage label business, their innovations, milestones, and organizational and geographical advantages.

Spear has an amazing story and it was our job to tell it as clearly as possible and make sure they look like the global player they have already grown up to be.

Perhaps the most important component to your identity is your website. It is the one piece that has the ability to have a conversation with the public at any time of day, in any country, on any device. We felt very strongly about refreshing Spear’s website when we revised their identity, for just that reason. We designed the style  and story delivery and Spear implemented our recommendations. Spear’s new site efficiently an emotional and informative brand story and is a great front door for this international company.

Our old friend De Stewart, aka Colonel De asked us to help him with his latest project, a gourmet herb and spice shop located in historic Findlay Market in the Over-the-Rhine historic district of Cincinnati. We jumped at the chance and are proud to show off our latest brand. This new logo and graphic system will be translated through all the “touch points” – everything from packaging to store interiors; from website to branded merchandise. Stay tuned for all the latest from the Colonel.
