Timberline Steakhouse and Grill, Beef Logo Design, Restaurant Logo Design

Timberline Steakhouse and Grill offers a casual eating environment where rough wood beams meet concrete floors. On every table sets a galvanized bucket filled with shelled peanuts and customers are encouraged to throw the shells on the floor. The Steakhouse logo is designed to capture that fun and slightly irreverent attitude. Illustrated woodblock type angle and tilt along a mountainous backdrop all in a tree branch wood frame. Our approach was to encapsulate the Timberline attitude and give it a focal point, a context to understand the Timberline experience.

The “LW” in rectangle panels and one corner turned over explicitly explains Laminate Works primary products, laminated panels. The logo is also designed to work as one color and used in a background “laminate” graphic.

The new Kansas City logo is a contradiction of image and theme. The visual mark a skyline while the message / tagline reads, “New Discoveries Daily”. What could be less of a ‘New Discovery” than a skyline logo for a city? The old logo and message was more of a “Discovery”.

The old Kansas City logo put forth two aspects of the city: 1) that Kansas City has more fountains than any city in the world except for Florence, Italy, and 2) it is located in the center, or heart, of the nation. 2) is not of any value because who cares if Kansas City is in the heart of America, it just means it has no mountains or ocean beaches, nothing to promote. But 1) is amazing, who knew that Kansas City has more fountains than any city in the world except for Florence, Italy? That is a Discovery!

OUR SUGGESTION

What if the logo embodied Kansas City’s most surprising discovery and that visual was the image for the logo. Below is a VERY, VERY quick modification of the old logo which makes a fountain an expression of surprise. What do you think?

Educational enrichment opportunities, social events and other activities for Seniors

LifeVentures, formally East Wichita Shepherd’s Center, offers educational classes and programs for seniors. In conversations with the client they were focused on the educational programs, the speakers and classes but the social aspects kept surfacing.

The brand logo identity is a metaphorical “Tree of Life”. A place of wisdom to learn, grow and come together

The wonderful people at LifeVentures were delightful to work with, they even sent a thank you card with a gracious testimonial. “On behalf of LifeVentures, we want to express our appreciation to you for the amazing logo and stationery system design. What a difference from our old brand image. Wow! Your inspired vision was a real blessing to us.”

What is this? Yes, I know it's the new logo for Century 2 but what is this logo design suppose to represent, the roof line? Why does it appear like it was created with crayons? Yes, the roof is blue but why is the blue like smoke? Why does the top of the new Century 2 logo have a handle? It's not what I think of when I think of Century II.
