Elite Contractor Services LOGO Design

When I started designing logo packages years ago, I never dreamed I'd do so many in the construction industry! This is another batch of designs for a local contracting company. I'm very pleased with how they turned out and hope that my clients are equally excited about their new company identity.

Cat in the Hat Birthday Invitation

The Cat in the Hat knows a lot about THAT....being 4 that is.

I hope Shields and his mom like the outcome of these youthful, nostalgic Dr. Suess invitations. I love the color combination of aqua and red and who doesn't love red and white stripes?!

The invitations are 3.5 x 8.25 vertical cards printed on 100 lb. Cougar Opaque White paper with white A9 envelopes, complete with the return address printed on the flap.

Coordinating, flat thank you card sets (130# cover stock) complete the invitation set, especially paired with a matching aqua, A2 envelope and 2.5" circle address label stickers to seal the thank you envelopes.

Eagle Creek Construction LOGO Design

Contrary to popular belief, western Michigan is still a thriving place and our fabulous, little neighborhood is growing rapidly. I was thrilled when my fellow builder neighbor(s) asked me to design a new logo for their construction company. This is what I came up with. The design they chose (largest at top) was my favorite! It will be used primarily on signage. I'm so happy they went with the modern/edgy one. I think it is very fitting because the homes they build are a wonderful combination of cozy and modern with all the latest and greatest features. I hope there are many more Eagle Creek homes in our neighborhood and throughout west Michigan!

Congratulations, Matt, Mary Alison & Charlie on your newly expanded family!

Nautical Baby Shower Invitation

I am very happy with the way these baby shower invitations turned out. My client wanted a nautical theme, but nothing cheesy and overdone with light blues, yellow and white. I found a little poem online that mentions sailboats and baby boys and I thought it was perfect as a header. I added a pewter gray to the color scheme and created a little sailboat using several different patterns in the sails. I also used the same colors to make a preppy, yet youthful plaid for the background.

These hostesses are very thoughtful and even ordered the mom-to-be coordinating thank you cards. We kept cost down by using a flat card (instead of a fold-over) and if there are extras, they could be used for other occasions as well.

(update 9.1.11)
I recently revised this design for a baby girl. It turned out too cute not to share. I can adjust the colors as needed to fit with your desired theme. I hope you like it too! (Please click on it to enlarge.)

As a bonus, if this new mom would like to use this same concept for baby announcements through Nealon Design, there is no additional design fee and she will still get a handful of custom designs to choose from!! This applies to any client looking for supplemental, coordinating pieces.
