The Little Dude

LittleDude_Header

Awhile ago we did some mini-branding for our friend, Eric Trine’s side tables. They are quite accurately called Little Dudes.

To match the spirit of the tables, we created a brand mark that was simple, fun and iconic. Each Little Dude was imprinted with the logo underneath and then individually numbered.

While digging through old projects we came across this little beauty…she holds a very special place in our hearts.

(Built from recycled record players and housed in reclaimed wood.)

Pier Shop Details: Custom Wood Hangers

Some of the best moments of design are found in the details. One of the really great details of the Pier Shop were the custom plywood hangers we designed for them.

Yes, they could’ve used normal hangers. They could have even spent a little more money and had their logo printed onto stock hangers. But by rethinking the seemingly insignificant detail of hangers, the shopping experience is instantly elevated.

It’s in the small touches, like a logo etched into a plywood hanger, that a brand really comes to life.

Do you want to create a memorable experience for your users? Then pay attention to, and invest in, the small things.
