Jack Island Charters LLC Logo
Client: Paul Woerfel, Fish Creek, WI

Jack Island Charters offers both charter fishing and duck hunts in the northern Door County, Wisconsin. They came to us needing a logo, business card, rack card, and website.

We created a logo that has a contemporary feel while capturing the action of fishing and a duck hunt and works well in both color and black-and-white. It is to be used on identity packages, truck and boat decals, rack cards, website, clothing, and more.

Theatre 20th Anniversary Logo

American Folklore Theatre 20th Anniversary Logo
Ephraim, Wisconsin, Door County

Playing on an outdoor stage at Peninsula State Park and on indoor stages across the state, American Folklore Theatre actors are equipped with guitars and voices that tell stories of legend and lore. Since 1990, this troupe has been providing original musical tales about some of America’s most intriguing people including John Muir and Mark Twain.

AFT was looking to have a logo that showcased their outdoor venue including twilight and stars. We worked from a photograph to make the logo vector based so it could be flexible in its usage. It has been screen printed on t-shirts and mugs, as well as various other applications like their Facebook profile picture.

Quote from the happy client:
"Thanks for your great and efficient work on this project. We're hoping to make wide use of it this year and hopefully beyond. We'll definitely look to use your services again down the road."

Dave Maier, Managing Director
American Folklore Theatre

Hotel Brochures

Hotel Logo Redesign, Sales Brochure & Rate Sheet
Client: The Landing Resort, Egg Harbor, WI

The Landing Resort in Egg Harbor was looking to update their look-and-feel across the board starting with a refreshing of their logo. Not wanting to take away from the branding and goodwill created with the previous design created some years ago and because the logo still represents the goals, service and standards of The Landing Resort, we opted to simplify the logo instead of doing a complete redesign.

The bird icon's linework and the circle encompassing it was simplified. The icon and the typography now work together by positioning the landing bird onto the ascendor of the "d" which makes a natural post within the logo. We also tweaked some of the lettering relationships and created a refreshed logo that feels bolder, more stable, and it continues the legacy of a great resort.

From there, we then moved on to the Brochure and Rate Sheet.

The Sales Brochure showcases a fresher look that comes from research and strategy towards attracting more families to their condominiums which are surrounded by nature and is close in proximity to both the local beach, park and marina as well as the local shops and eateries.

We hired a local photographer to take aerial shots, measured rooms and built floorplans for each of their suites, wrote the text, created a map, and sourced stock photography as well as took additional photos of the property to create a visually stunning 4-panel brochure.

The Rate Sheet combines the traditional rate sheet and the packages into one brochure. The combination of the two pieces and designing the sheet with two colors helps save on overall printing costs and creates less paperwork for staff.

The design works as a stand-alone piece, and it also fits within the Sales Brochure for easy distribution by mail as needed.

Next up is the website and identity package, coming soon.

Wedding Monogram Designs

MK Wedding Monograms
Client: Marti & Kevin, Denver, Colorado

Weddings are an exciting event and a merging of two people's lives. It was a great honor to work on this monogram using the bride and grooms first letter initials and working with the theme of a rustic Colorado wedding along with expressing what a fun couple of people they are.

The monogram (above) has appeared on their invitations, and wedding guests will see another monogram (right) branding their steaks at the reception.

Photography Logo

A new game: Which one would you choose?

These are the choices for a client looking for a new logo. His target market is 18-80, mostly female, wedding, portrait, family segments. So, which one would you select as the winner?

(I will post the actual winner a few days from now, so you won't be in suspense for too long.)

Logo & Business Card Design

Logo and business card design for an interior refiner/ feng shui expert. It was a neat project that lead to some interesting places in the research phase. I used a traditional Japanese ink brush technique and hand painted the logo and brought it into Illustrator turning it into a vector and applied some personalizing touches to the font, combining letter forms for better flow.

Door County Waste & Recycling Logo

Logo Design & Development


Branding was very important in this job. Door County Waste and Recycling is a subsidiary of Little Hoppers brand and therefore needed to reflect that brand while being distinctive on its own.

We kept elements like the arrows, and line work around a large blue space, as well as the overall feel of the typography of the original Little Hoppers brand, while giving the logo its own solid brand. The elements reflect their strong commitment to recycling and green conservation.

>> Are you looking to start or extend your brand?
Here are some tips on the features of a good brand name:

Brand names should be chosen carefully since the name conveys a lot of information to a customer.

A good brand name should:

• Evoke positive associations
• Be easy to pronounce and remember
• Suggest product benefits
• Be distinctive
• Not infringe existing registered brand names

Hotel Website

The Door County resort community has a new wave of fresh website revamps coming out from 1 Design Source, starting with Homestead Suites located in Fish Creek. Their new website includes flash animation, custom 360 tours of the rooms, and incorporates their reservation system into the site design.

On top of the site design, the Homestead Suites logo was refreshed and revived as well.
