BRANDING/LOGOS
Image is more than just a logo, but it often starts there. A well designed logo sets the tone for the design projects that follow. Also, the logo is a lightning rod for executive oversight requiring a carefully presented process. Logos can be a hotly contested debate. It takes a very knowledgeable presenter to "sell" a good logo. Add statesman to the list of additional traits a good Creative Director must possess!

YOUNG LIVING - Before and After

Overseeing a rebranding is not just a technical question. It's very much a political one. Moving Young Living into the modern era was akin to building a trans-continental railroad. Many miles were crossed before that final spike was hammered into place. Ultimately we prevailed, and a golden era of superior design followed.

DIRECTION: John Roberts
DESIGN: Daryl Smith

Components:

• The new "mark" really solidified the brand, recognition and retention
• The new mark was delightful to design with - more contemporary, and mainstream
• Curiously, artistic minded individuals strongly preferred the new look, while others loudly berated it, preferring to go back to the "leaf drop" design. Please ask me how this all turned out!


AMERICAN OFFROAD- Logo

American Offroad was seeking a new brand after re-organizing their company under the banner of American Offroad. I wanted a logo that was more of a "mark" tight, solid and tough. I grunged it up a bit, used an uppercase treatment for solidity.
