Cardpool business cards

LLB Designs — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 20:18:53 +0000

Have you heard of Cardpool.com? It’s a cool website that lets you sell gift cards that you’re not likely to use and to buy others that you’ll definitely use — at a discount. So smart. When it came time to design the founder’s business cards, a gift card look was catchy and appropriate. The company logo is of course center stage on the front, and the back features the contact information arranged to resemble the back of a gift card. Rounded corners complete the effect and bar codes that actually work — the phone number comes up when scanned — add that little something extra.

Attainable Growth logos

This local trainer in Austin, TX requested a logo and business cards for his at-home personal training company, Attainable Growth. The client envisioned silhouettes of both a man and a woman in a simple, eye-catching black and white color palette. Graphics for a business that focuses on body image is pretty tricky, and it is important that the silhouettes convey just the right blend of sexiness (but not too sexy!), confidence (but not cocky!) and fitness (but not overdeveloped!).

The result is this poised pair as well as a combination of serif and sans-serif fonts for a look that is both bold and approachable.

Allowance for Good

We at LLB Designs were thrilled to partner up with Allowance for Good on their logo and identity project. This new non-profit has a fantastic mission, “… to cultivate a culture of giving and to inspire a ripple of change among American youth to become the next generation of engaged global givers and citizens.”

A big part of Founder and Executive Director Elizabeth Newton’s vision is the concept of a ripple of change, which is incorporated into the logo through a stylized ripple icon. The final branding package includes a logo, an alternative small-space logo option, business cards, designated fonts and a custom color pallette.

Read more about Allowance for Good on their beautiful new website and congrats to Elizabeth and team on their exciting launch!

Layrisson Law identity package

LLB Designs — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 14:30:39 +0000

Attorney Parker Layrisson of Ponchatoula, LA, is undergoing a name change and recently tapped LLB Designs to help develop a new identity package. An updated logo, business cards, letterhead and envelopes were all on the list and it was also important to the client to maintain consistency with the firm’s old brand while transitioning to an updated look. We kept the colors and much of the overall layout the same, but updated the font to a slightly more classic style and adjusted the typography to work with the new name. LLB Designs provided color and black and white versions of the new logo in both print and web-appropriate file types, as well as a cheat-sheet outlining the fonts and color breakdown as a reference for future use. A local printer printed the letterhead, envelopes and business cards, and the final result is very clean and professional, fitting right in with the rest of the firm’s existing branding.

Jet Group business cards

The Jet Group team out of Cedar Park, TX came to LLB Designs looking for new business cards. The company includes two divisions, Jet Group Realty and Jet Group Management, each with their own logo. When tackling the business cards it was important to give each a unique look while maintaining the overall company’s brand. Mixing up the colors and imagery worked like a charm. The management group’s cards featured layers of buildings and housing with a striking blue background. The realty team got crisp white cards highlighting their names and contact information. Both are appropriate for the target audience and easily distinguished from each other, while still coordinating well and re-enforcing the Jet Group name.

Thinkin’ Outside the Cube

LLB Designs — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 01:49:03 +0000

When bay-area based Cubes & Crayons came to LLB Designs asking for a logo and corporate branding for their new venture, we jumped at the chance to jump in and help out. Outside the Cube is their new professional division providing co-working space for entrepreneurs, professionals and students. This young, hip target audience warrants a clean, minimalistic approach that is fresh and sophisticated, while also coordinating with the parent company’s existing collateral.

First on the list was a brand new logo, with clean lines, easy-to-read, stylish fonts and a streamlined color palette. LLB Designs pushed these same elements a step further through business cards, and then worked with the company’s web developer to coordinate the website layout. Crisp black and white lines, hints of their trademark blue and pops of color through photography all work together to form a chic, modern look.

HumanSpeak: Carded

LLB Designs — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 20:38:08 +0000

Strategic planner Lisa Haayen recently came to LLB Designs looking for a new look to match her new company, named HumanSpeak. HumanSpeak focuses on branding and marketing strategy, research, trend spotting and analysis—critical things for any young business!

Because her company specializes in finding clear strategies even when given complex information, it was important that Lisa’s business cards reinforce the value of uncluttered simplicity – though of course she also wants her cards to stand out. The final product? Crisp, white cards that combine clean typography, small splashes of cheerful orange and plenty of white space for a modern, forward-thinking aesthetic. Splitting “Human” and “Speak” between the front and back of the card draws attention to the more detailed information on the back, and rounded corners add a smooth, finished look.

Business cards: glam it up

LLB Designs — Tue, 05 May 2009 15:30:56 +0000

Los Angeles-based make-up artist Katy Holland asked LLB Designs for some help with new business cards. The main requirement: sleek and sophisticated. Can do! These two-sided, standard 2 x 3.5” cards feature a simple yet chic front, the design feminine yet understated. A glossy photo of high-end make-up brushes spans the back, adding a bit of polish and sophistication.

Branding: chic and sleek

LLB Designs — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 05:02:32 +0000

Is your company young and stylish? Buttoned up and professional? So trendy it hurts? So classic that it’s got its collar popped and a sweater tied around its neck?

Personality is such an important part of any brand, and this is particularly true for young companies that need to get a lot of mileage from everything they do. The logo, fonts and colors should all be created to portray the company’s voice, and then used consistently throughout collateral to establish a firm and professional identity around the company name. This will give the brand, and the company itself, a personality all of its own.
