The Palace
ROLE: branding and print design Logo and branding for our shared workspace: a converted warehouse full of makers, creators, artists, and musicians: “Collectively we form a community that defines and redefines itself through natural collaboration and cross-pollination – generating a more vibrant daily experience for ourselves and the world around us.” In that spirit, this project was a pretty collaborative process with our landlord (shoutout to Nathan) as well as other tenants, to create a branding toolkit that is adaptive, collaborative, tactile, and unique. The folks in the building have bonded and collaborated in many ways and this was an important point to make with the branding. Nathan initially came up with the idea of hands, which made a lot of sense to us. After some back and forth about what hands were the right hands, we had the notion to use a bunch of different hands along with a looser idea of the “logo.” Multiple hands, many of which were drawn by different Palace tenants, signify all the busy hands doing their unique thing within the building, thereby creating its own fluid tapestry and a variety of graphic uses.

Anfield Shop
An official supplier of Liverpool Football Club merchandise, Anfield Shop contacted us for some apparel designs to sell in their shop. Needless to say, Duke was stoked. They left the idea generation up to us. The briefs were open ended. So we played to our own experiences with Premier League Football (Duke’s experiences, if we’re being honest): they’re televised at weird hours and the fans in the US are almost cult-like in their outside-the-cultural-norm support for quality overseas soccer. We also wanted to be different than the usual athletic supporter apparel (yawn). We toyed with presenting artwork of Robbie Fowler snorting a chalk line but in the end we didn’t think the club would sign off on it and we also didn’t want to get fired. Instead we drew on a sense of local (west coast) pride, hand-drawn qualities, lettering, and some sprinkles of Liverpool-y shapes and details. anfieldshop.com
