Made-to-Measure

We’ve just completed this logo for Winter Haven, a hotel in South Beach Miami. Designed by architect Albert Anis, the hotel is well known for its Art Deco styling and ocean view. The logo incorporates elements of the building’s aesthetic infused with the bright colors of South Beach. We actually designed two logo variations for Winter Haven, giving the client flexibility of use on everything from collateral material, signage, and in-room materials.

We just received an email this morning from the editor of How Magazine to let us know that the site we designed for our sister company, Sideshow Press, made their “Top 10 Sites for Designers” list. You can check out Sideshow’s mention, as well as the other 9, featured here. The top 10 list will be up on their site for the month of August. Thanks HOW! We are quite flattered to be included.

At long last, the Stitch Design Co. stationery package is complete. We designed this set to be simple and clean while incorporating type and imagery that give a nod to our name, Stitch. Our sister company Sideshow Press did the letterpress printing.

Thanks Erica Jackson for a great article in this weeks Charleston City Paper. Read the full article.

More Troubadour branding pieces just arrived in the Studio today. We love the contrast of black and white and enjoyed continuing to flush out her brand across these different pieces (hangers, note cards, press folders, garment bags). Curious soft touch black paper, shiny black foil and flocking not only make these pieces nice to look at but they feel so good!

Earlier this year, we worked with FIG Restaurant on a re-branding project. We designed new menus, business cards, stationery, drink stirrers, butter overlays and gift cards and more. The work was featured yesterday on Communication Arts website.

Check out the feature online at Communication Arts.

Here’s another bold new graphic dog bed from Harry Barker. We carefully illustrated the wide range of dog breeds represented in this new pattern. It was not an easy pattern to master the repeat, but we were able to move the dogs around until the pattern fit perfectly. We made sure to include the Stitch dogs, Molly (German Shorthaired Pointer) and Bessie (Black Lab), in the final pattern.

Just back from the printer are these business cards for the folks at FIG restaurant. Printed on eggplant paper with orange and off-white foil, these cards almost capture of the warmth you experience while eating at FIG.

Impressive: Printmaking, Letterpress & Graphic Design arrived in the mail yesterday. With a bold blue cover and and vibrant images inside, we keep finding ourselves diving into the pages filled with beautiful work. Stitch and our sister company, Sideshow Press are both represented. We’re flattered to be among such a talented collection of companies and work. Look for Stitch Design Co. and Sideshow Press near the front on pages 6-7 and 12-13.

Some of the best things in the world are made in the South. And the editors of Garden & Gun magazine want to know about more of them.

Last week, the magazine launched the first-ever Made in the South Awards, a celebration of Southern craftsmanship and ingenuity. Whether you’ve just rolled out a new packaged barbecue sauce or you’ve been making bamboo fly rods for years, this is the perfect opportunity to showcase your goods. Anyone whose product or small business is based in the South may enter one of the five categories: Food, Home, Style, Sporting, and Ect.

Five finalists will appear in the December/January issue and one lucky overall winner will travel to Charleston, South Carolina, to receive a free consultation from Stitch and Leapfrog Public Relations. We’re thrilled to be involved and to see the range of creativity and products that are sure to enter. We’re also looking forward to sitting down with the winner and consulting with them on their brand – one of our favorite things to do!
