Dr. Tim Guthrie
For any Windsorites who’s noticed the construction at the corner of Lauzon and Riverside Drive for the past year or so, the building is now complete and is the home of a new swanky medical complex, which is the new home of our client Dr. Tim Guthrie Optometry. This place looks amazing, very studio-loft-ish with huge windows and high ceilings. Here is the branding for the Optometry clinic, we also did business cards, letterhead and are working on their new website.
If you need some new glasses, go “see” them

Sherpio
We can’t wait to share more about this project but until it launches in a few weeks this is all we can share. It’s called Sherpio and it way cool. It’s a social media sharing site and that’s really all we can say. There was plenty of illustration involved, which we love! So keep a look out for www.sherp.io, we’ll post a link once it launches.

We were honoured to be chosen to rebrand Dr. Tayfour’s Windsor Laser Eye Institute. This was more of a refresh as we chose to stay close to the shape of the original, but updated the colours and typefaces. They also have clinics in Hamilton and Barrie so we translated that look to the other locations.

We’ve had our head down for the last few month just plowing away with exciting new work. To be honest, it’s fantastic, love this place, our employees and our clients. As you know branding and logos are one of our specialties and boy have we done plenty over the last couple months. The next few posts will be all our recent branding and logo projects for a very wide variety of businesses from cafes to laser eye centres. More posts to come with our recent web and print related projects.

Today is a good day! A bilingual website we created for the Historica-Dominion Institute to commemorate Sir John A. Macdonald’s birthday was selected as site of the day at awwwards.com. As it was just John A’s 197th Birthday this week, this is a great present.
Congratulations as well go to Chris Benotto for helping with Illustration work and Toby Leftly for building the site. And thanks again to Historica-Dominion for having the vision to create such a fun informative site.

Rocket Chicken
We introduce the Rocket Chicken and all of his chickeny glory. The Story: Chris, (my employee) and I are always looking for new things to inspire us during our week, sometimes it’s t-shirt design, sometimes it’s just browsing Youtube for funny cat videos, we have found our new creative train, Rocket Chicken. This was an illustration I (Shane) did a few years ago, which consisted of Rocket Chicken standing on what looks like the Moon with the shadow of an alien standing out of view, with the text ” What will become of Rocket Chicken..Find out next week”. We were looking at the illustration a couple weeks ago and Chris and I starting tossing some ideas around, ie. villains, weapons, sidekicks and it’s now blown up into brainstorming about apparel, mobile games and a web comic. It’s lots of fun because we feel there is so much room to expand the story line….however, we don’t want to give away too much right now. Here are a couple preliminary graphics, including the logo. Will post more soon. Check the teaser site out here.

Sir John A. Day
I posted an illustration a few months back of Sir John A. Macdonald (view here) that was the beginning of a much bigger project for the Historica-Dominion Institute to develop an entire campaign. This included a print campaign, (posters, brochures, buttons and t-shirts) as well as a fun scrollable website (in English and French) to help educate Canadians more about their first Prime Minister. Spotvin was hired to create all graphics and site design, including the 1 minute intro Flash animation at the top of the page. This was one of our first projects that really utilized what we do best; illustration, print and web. Have a poke around the site as there is plenty of useful videos and information about Sir John A. including a downloadable party hat. Those are always fun, I’m wearing one right now……you’ll never know. GO TO SITE

Past Work:Yoga Frog
Sometimes now and again I like to go through my old work (most of it is on my current computer.) I usually have a year shelf life before I start to dislike work from the past but there are a few project that I still enjoy and this is one of them. It was a logo for some yoga series/contraption that was never used, the client never went through with the product, but I’m very happy how it turned out, I can still see it on a t-shirt.
