Today I did something new... I completed my first vinyl install job of one of my creations entirely on my own - and I have to say she turned out lovely! Congrats Carrie and Matt on your river mermaid! I know this winter is going to seem extra long now that you can’t wait to get her back in the water!

Another two rebrands for local businesses officially on the wall! Rebranding is a very unique experience for every business as it is filled with personal preferences on how you want to transform your existing brand. In Jennifers example, she had renamed her business and needed the logo to reflect both the clinical pilates she offers as well as the massage therapy. Her goal in her rebrand was to showcase these new aspects while keeping the general style of her old logo by us...ing similar font and colours. With Sheryl’s business, she wanted to freshen up her existing logo without straying too far from the original. She wanted something bolder, and more contrasted so we made tweaks to what she had to bring it to something that better served her needs. If you are looking to rebrand your business, let’s connect! I’m happy to discuss ways that we can bring your existing brand to something that might better suit your needs or showcase what your business is all about. *Signage installed by Wright Design Company Jennifer Revelle - Massage Therapy & Clinical Pilates

I’m so happy to announce another new brand officially launched today!

The team at Hometown Brew Co. have worked so hard to create their delicious brews, and I love seeing the designs I created for them available at so many of our local patios, grocery & convenience stores, and golf courses. You can visit them at the Seacan (thurs-sat 12-8) (wed/sun 12-6) or stock up by visiting the beer store to get your favorites (Ale, Light, IPA, Wheat), or the lcbo (Ale, IPA). #welcomehome #norfolkcounty #design #packagedesign #advertising #branding #blogno...rfolk #519folk #graphicdesign #rgdon @ Hometown Brew Co.

I feel pretty lucky that in my job as a graphic designer I get to help the people I work with express what their business is by working with them to create their visual identity. Amanda and Hayden Dooney have owned their apple orchard for a little over a year, and recently came to me because they were ready to brand their beautiful space. Suncrest Orchards is located on Hillcrest Road just outside Simcoe, where they grow apples (available at their roadside stand) and will a...lso be host to a ‘pick your own apples' experiences later this year. After just one visit to their orchards I can attest that this space is well worth the stop, so I encourage you to follow them to keep up-to-date as details are unveiled! Congrats to you both Amanda and Hayden as you embark on this business journey! #branding #logodesign #graphicdesign #design #advertising #promotionaldesign #logo #RGDON #blognorfolk #519folk #suncrestorchards #norfolkcounty #apple #onapples #farm #orchard #newbusiness #apples #farmlife #orchardlife #applegrowers #pickyourown #roadsidestand #eatlocal #eatnorfolk

I love working with the crew at Hometown Brew Co., so I was thrilled to help them with their can design for their newest brew now available at the SeaCan and select patios around Norfolk County! Hometown Brew Co is introducing their ‘Pedal Pilsner’, a clean & sharp Pilsner recognizing the nearly 100km of trails surrounding the brewery, thanks to @tpmbc ! The clean and floral finish is a perfect way to wash away the grit and grime after a big ride in the trails! #branding #packagedesign #promotionaldesign #advertising #graphicdesign #design #beerstagram #norfolkcounty #blognorfolk #519norfolk #welcomehome #drinklocal #rgdon #turkeypoint #tourism #beer

COVID has really changed the way a lot of people can conduct business and for many of us personally we have had to cancel events or put plans on hold. With phase 3 opening up, some events might look a little different then what we were previously used to, but it’s great to see how businesses find solutions to help us along. Silent Beats Events brings life back to the dance floor so that you don’t have to stop the party... Your event can last as long as you want - noise-com...plaint free - in as many rooms as your venue can allow! Their wireless technology enables one party to be happening in multiple rooms as the same time, so this way you can social distance comfortably. #design #advertising #promotionaldesign #branding #rgdON #graphicdesign #DJ #music #events #corporate #wedding #headphones #SilentParty #wirelesspartyheadphones #SilentPartyHeaphones #SilentEvent #QuietParty #HeadphoneParty #SilentDisco #eventplanning

One of the things I love about being a graphic designer is that I often get to watch and learn about businesses as they evolve and grow over time. Mag and Jesse, the owners of Parkstreet Pops, recently reached back out to me because they are entering the next phase of their business (stay tuned for exciting details coming soon!). We had previously worked together on branding Parkstreet Pops, so they wanted to take their brand for their AMAZING and DELICIOUS gourmet popsicles... and rebrand it to Beach Day Pops. Growing up in Port Dover, the brand gets its name as a nod to the nostalgia we feel when we think about our youth in Port Dover, and the desire we feel to stay connected to the kid inside of us. Make sure to follow them on FB or IG for more details coming soon about what is in store for Beach Day Pops! Congrats again Mag and Jesse on the next stage of your business journey! #branding #graphicdesign #logodesign #brand #advertising #blognorfolk #norfolkcounty #portdover #beachday #rgdontario #519folk #design #northshore #southcoast #lakeerie

Having grown up in Port Dover it’s no secret that if you ever need a dress altered or a custom creation to wear to an event, Jane Johnstone is the absolute go to! I’ve known Jane my whole life, so she’s altered many dresses for me over the years - including my own wedding dress - so I was thrilled to have a chance to work with her on her business rebrand. You can book an appointment with Jane by email or phone, or find her at the @norfolkweddinglounge in Vittoria! #brandin...g #wedding #events #norfolkcounty #alterations #advertising #businesscards #promotionaldesign #logodesign #graphicdesign #design #brand @ Norfolk Wedding Lounge

Rebranding is a very personal process for a business. It is about finding the balance of what you like and want to work with from your original brand, and what changes or updates need to be made to freshen the look. With this recent rebrand for Van Londersele Real Estate Brokerage Ltd. it was important to keep the nastologic feel that is well recognized for their business, while creating a more up to date modern look. To add some versatility for the brand, I also created a m...onogram version of their logo. Thank you again for allowing me the opportunity to work with you on your rebrand Michelle and Paul! I look forward to seeing your new logo displayed around the community. #design #branding #logodesign #advertising #graphicdesign #rgdon #Promotionaldesign

Although over the last few months I’ve really missed being able to meet face to face with clients, I am so glad that I am able to connect with them in a variety of virtual ways. It’s so important for me when I’m designing for someone that I learn about the business, and the owner(s) or hear about the business journey they are about to embark upon so that their brand reflects who they are. This past month I connected with Katrina, who is launching Radical Flavours in Norfolk County this coming fall. Katrina will be creating handcrafted, artisan gourmet popcorn and cotton candy with a rad 90's twist for local fairs and offering catering packages for weddings and other events. So keep an eye out this fall for Radical Flavours! #design #branding #logodesign #graphicdesign #rgdontario #advertising #logo

When helping CLIMB Hamilton with their rebranding initiative earlier this year, no one would have ever anticipated that their annual spring climb at the Ti-cat stadium would be out of the picture for 2020. Although COVID-19 has stopped the event from taking place as a large physical event, it hasn’t stopped the team from bringing everyone together in a new way to help raise money to support local charities. Join them online June 30th for a virtual Climb with 30 mins of home stair climbing and help them raise money for these 7 charities. You can register online at www.climbhamilton.com

I know there are many businesses out there right now trying to think of new ways to run things in a time when they can’t necessarily function like they are used to. Silent Beats Events is a wonderful example of someone who is trying to run business in this new norm and provide entertainment while raising money for charities. Have you every tried or heard of a Silent Disco Party? You know, the ones where 3 Channels of music are playing at the same time and you can select what... you want to listen to? Silent Beats Events is providing that experience virtually online (without the headphones) this Saturday May 9th at 7pm. So join in, chat or donate to one of the three charities selected by the participating DJs on their website at www.silentbeatsevents.com/live #design #graphicdesign #marketing #advertising #virtualparty #music #events #professionaldj #evententertainment #djservices #eventplanning

Today I’d like to share a recent logo design I developed with Michelle Lyne for her new business Root Revival. Michelle and I worked together in Public Health for over 10 years, and at one point she was even my supervisor for Communications, so we’ve worked very closely over the years. Last month when she called me up to tell me about her exciting new business journey into becoming a Strategic Coach, Health Promotion Consultant and Systems Thinker, I was more than happy to h...elp her brand this business and work with her again. Whether you are seeking personal or professional enrichments, Michelle is passionate about coaching people and engaging organizations toward their goals, and brings 15 years leadership experience to her practice. Check out her website at www.rootrevival.ca to book an appointment or find out more information about what Root Revival has to offer.
