Concept, Art Direction, Design
Project called for logo-build and naming project. Deliverables included a simple style-sheet, and design steerpoints. All
to be integrated into the business plan,
and other materials targeting the acqui-
sition of venture capital. Several directions
were investigated.

Client indicated that
they preferred to pursue color comps
from the outset, With grayscale, and b&w
to be distilled from color final. The typeface has a western feel, this was chosen to bespeak the San Francisco/west coast roots of the product. Asian, hand-rendered, and Hawaiian-flavored typefaces were attempted, but none possessed fitting attributes. All of them came across as gimmicky. The overall vertical nature of the finalized design adheres to constraints related to the product packaging, and incorporates well into a primary aspect of the systems involved with product delivery.
