Got a new brand that needs to be creatively executed for a wide variety of materials? Perhaps an old brand that needs a boost? Or maybe starting from scratch? For any scenario, we can help.
Ripe will collaborate with you to understand your needs and then brainstorm various approaches. With these rough ideas, we will create initial design treatments—logos, business cards, brochures, postcards, etc. Our goal is to make each treatment significantly different from the next to give you the widest range of options. This allows for a substantial final design that can successfully expand as your business grows.
Case Study
Our non-profit client, The Wildwoods Foundation, was looking for a complete re-branding. We began with a new logo for The Foundation that was utilized for various print materials, i.e., stationary, water bottles, and carabiners. The next challenge was to carry over this new brand to their flagship program, Web of Our Worlds, in a way that was within the established look but also had its own distinctive style. Ripe developed a new site that is an instrumental part of this after school program and is maintained by the kids and their teachers.
With all content - photographs & copy - developed entirely by the students, Web of Our World is a record, by each class, of what they learned in their expeditions. Even more, Web of Our World documents the students’ exploration of the community surrounding their school, and is a reflective comparison of that neighborhood with nature. We’re proud to have been involved with the project. It has been published in a book called Market Smart: The Best in Age and Lifestyle Specific Design and is a W3 award winner.
The Ripe Difference
When we submit logo ideas or treatments, our clients are often taken aback at the wide range of concepts provided and how much thought we’ve put into them. It's at that moment that our clients realize that Ripe is their business partner who is eager to produce the best solutions for them.
One basic element of design is to make things "pretty", but the true differentiator is when the design reflects strategic thinking. So while the logos we create are definitely pretty on the outside, it's the business-savvy designing that started it all. Our designs have beauty and brains...excellent!
