101 Roofing: logo, website, shirts (and beyond)

101 Roofing & Construction commissioned Republic Design Company for the design, implementation, and production of the following 3 projects/elements:

1. re-design of logo/identity
2. website re-deisgn (www.101Roofing.com)
3. t-shirt screen-printing (qty.25).

101 Roofing & Construction Logo

First, as the name of the company evokes, “101 Roofing & Construction,” draws a strong affinity to thee 101 freeway; which runs throughout/connects it’s service area of Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara Counties. As-such, we wanted to combine visual similarities of “roofing and/or roofs,” along with the iconic 101 freeway shield. The following are 5 design comps/variations we originally came-up-with…

After client selected logo/identity (at top of this wordpress entry), we then proceeded to create an online presence as featured at http://www.101Roofing.com.

http://www.101Roofing.com

Client specified that they wanted to be featured on a vast array of popular social media platforms, (facebook, twitter, google+, tumblr, pintrest, linkedin, instagram). We created custom buttons+links for previous/current/perspective clients to add/follow/be-friend 101 Roofing & Construction, “all over the place, (so-to-speak).”

“Follow 101 Roofing EVERYWHERE…”

Concurrently, in the natural course of design discovery, we wanted to continue to include iconic visuals associated with 101 Freeway crest, now infused with it’s “Roofing & Construction” aesthetics. The result is a “Ventura Freeway-esque” inspired adornment, complete with iconic green freeway signs, freeway trussing, whimsical palm trees/shrubbery, light-posts, and blue skies…

Client also wanted to address ambiguity of service area. As such, we created a semi-topographical map of the Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara Counties area and listed every single city in their “Service Area.”

Last, we silk-screen-printed some long-sleeve t-shirts for the 101 Roofing & Construction Staff:

Thanks to 101 Roofing & Construction for the opportunity to assist in the (re)design, (re)production, and implementation of all marketing collateral. Looking forward to future opportunities to work together on mutually beneficial projects…

Chacmool Studio

Jose Alvizar, Principal of Chacmool Studio, commissioned Republic Design Company for the design, implementation, and production of the following elements:

1. Postcard/Flyer

2. Tumblr Account

3. Social Media configuration

Chacmool Studio Postcard/Flyer 'fresh-off-the-press'

Jose wanted to create a postcard/flyer that would exemplify a small sampling of his diverse body of work and “tattoo mediums”, like: ‘Color Realism’, ‘Black & Gray’, ‘Portraits’, ‘Bio-Mechanical’, and ‘American Traditional’ (to name a few)… Some tattoo style ‘trends’ don’t officially have (a) name(‘s) yet. As such, they are pictured in the postcard/flyer.

The back-side of this postcard/flyer features tattoo artwork by friend-of-Chacmool-Studio and collaborative partner, “Lalo MTZ”, (visit Lalo MTZ’s facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/inkbylalo and/or his tumblr page at: http://lalotattooer.tumblr.com/)

Chacmool Studio Postcard/Flyer 'back'

In talking with Jose during the development of his postcard/flyer, we learned that he’s been looking to establish a web presence beyond that of his Facebook page. “Due to popular demand” (quite literally actually), we explained the benefits of owning, managing and creating a Tumblr account: http://chacmoolstudio.tumblr.com/:

BUT… We didn’t stop there!

(Due to it’s overwhelming popularity), we also created an ‘Instagram‘ account for several reasons; the most important of them being…

…Instead of taking advantage of 1 great social medium, we made it possible for Jose to take advantage of 3 social media platforms.

“How”, do you ask?

Chacmool Studio 'facebook'

The answer is simple…

The beauty of these awesome Social Medium’s is that they make it a ‘piece-of-cake’ to make them talk to one-another! Simply put, whatever Jose posts on his Instagram account, will automatically post to his Tumblr account, which will automatically post into his Facebook account…

Pretty cool, huh…
