_{CABEC 2023 Conference “Something to Crow About” Logo Identity Design}

This years CABEC Conference is set to take place in Cambria, California at the beautiful Cambria Pines Lodge. This coastal city is host to a October-month-long celebration aptly titled, “Cambria Scarecrow Festival.” It’s the celebration of, (you guessed it), Scarecrows, their creative decoration, with contests, events and much, much more.

We were tasked with incorporating all these design elements together; starting with the iconic coastal scapes of the central coasts’ shore-cliff’s, pine-tree’s (plus area-appropriate foliage), and vast Pacific Ocean views that Cambria is known for. Being that the conference takes place during the height of Cambria’s Scarecrow Festival, in-conjunction with CABEC’s 2023 Conference tag-line, “Something to Crow About;” our early design iterations included scarecrows and crows. The ‘Scary Crow’ ended up being the winning and final design…

After our clients selected the featured logo design, we then proceeded in creating the CABEC 2023 Conference Logo Style-Guide. The Logo Style-Guide is an instruction sheet that helps clients understand the various file-formats their logo is saved in and what the different uses are intended for. We at Republic Design Company pride ourselves on educating our clients on proper logo usage techniques and are always available to assist our clients on an on-going basis…

Ruby Rose Yepez Professional Bio Page Design

Ruby Rose Yepez (aka, “my Wife“), ‘commissioned’ Republic Design Company (aka, “told me, Rafael Yepez, to get to work“), on the design of her Professional Bio Page.

_{Ruby Rose Yepez Pro Bio Page}

Ruby Rose Yepez is a seasoned building industry professional and will be speaking at the FCA Annual Meeting 2021. She was asked to submit a Pro Bio of herself and her background to exhibit her professional accomplishments, associations, and attributes. She created the following word document with accompanying head-shot.

_{Ruby Rose Yepez Original Bio Page}

First, we started with a new head-shot taken with an iPhone 11 in Portrait mode. We took this photo in our back yard with our beautiful bougainvillea’s as our backdrop. Using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, I gently highlighted the colors and details of the photo featured below:

_{Before/After Ruby Rose Yepez Headshot}

I used graphic icons to delineate and highlight her tag-line/motto, “Service • Community • Sustainablity,” her title at SCE, her employer’s website, and her Linkedin web-link-address: www.linkedin.com/in/ladyrubyrose. Then, I collected the logo’s of the entities she’s affiliated with that I could find on the internet in vector format. The logo’s I couldn’t find in vector format, I vectored myself. Vector graphics are optimal when laying out graphics like this inside Adobe Illustrator.

The following layout is an alternate design of Ruby Rose’s Professional Bio.

As of this posting, I am happy to convey that she approves of said design(‘s) contained here-in and we are still ‘happily married.’

Whoskie’s Barbershop Logo Design

In light of the Washington Nationals World Series Championship victory last night; I thought I’d share this recent logo design I re-imagined for my barber Ruben Soriano (ig: @barber_gang3) of Whoskie’s Barbershop in South El Monte, CA.

whoskies_barbershop_w_logo

The premise was to employ the iconic “W” of the center of the Washington Nationals logo and mold fonts to work with and around the “W,” as-well-as use the same color scheme as it’s predecessor.

The “W” is also used as a common counter-culture reference to “West Side,” or “West Coast,” most famously popularized by Westside Connection and other Hip-Hop artist of the time. This, in conjunction with the name of “Whoskies Barbershop,” makes for an amalgamation of similar tastes and shared design livery.

Dj Swift Music Logo Design + T-Shirt Screen-Printing

Joey ‘Dj Swift’ Montano, commissioned Republic Design Company, for the design, implementation, and production of his Dj Swift Music Logo, Brand, Identity Design and T-Shirt Screen-Printing.

Dj Swift Music Logo

Dj Swift wanted to change the type-font of his previous logo up a bit to a cursive-script font style that embodied a classic baseball inspired design; along with the inclusion of his website on the underlying ribbon below his Dj Swift name. We then created ‘grooves’, similar to that found on a vinyl record, along with the city-scape cut into the bottom-half of the record.

After our client approved the featured logo design, we then proceeded in the creation of the Dj Swift Music Logo Style-Guide. The Logo Style-Guide is an instruction sheet that helps clients understand the various file-formats their logo is saved in and what the different uses are intended for. We at Republic Design Company pride ourselves on educating our clients on proper logo usage techniques and are always available to assist our clients on an on-going basis…

Many Thanks to Dj Swift for the opportunity to be of assistance.

Fernandez Jewelers: Business Cards, Screenprint T-Shirts, Website

The Principals of Fernandez Jewelers commissioned Republic Design Company for the design, production, and implementation of their Business Cards, Screenprint T-Shirts, and Website.

First: Logo Recreation… Fernandez Jewelers (conveniently located inside the Centerpoint Mall in Oxnard, CA), is one-in-the-same with Fernandez Fine Jewelry (conveniently located inside the Pacificview Mall in Ventura, CA). We were not asked to design the original logo/brand/identity for either names. We were asked to redesign and recreate them for marketing collateral print and production. As such, we recreated the logo(‘s) in vector format in both color and grayscale.

Now that we had the logos recreated, it was time to start designing the layout of the business cards. Since each storefront is located inside shopping malls prominent to their local market(s), we included corresponding malls logo to each storefront logo/brand/identity respectively.

After business card design and production, we began designing t-shirts, (v-necks and crew), for both Men and Women, in a variety of colors. They are intended for promotional product giveaway to help raise brand awareness.

Social media placement amongst popular social media platforms (facebook, twitter, google+, pinterest, and instagram), Fernandez Jewelers is easy to find both online and instore.
