Mac the Knife Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 As some of you may recall, I'm in the process of opening a new retail flower and gift shop here in Raleigh, and thanks to Firefly "Temple of Bloom" will be opening on August 1st (hopefully) with a vibrant logo which we're utilizing as part of our marketing/branding strategy.I'll soon be posting some pictures of the logo in use (our storefront, business cards, etc.), but the first piece that the public will see is a rather large advertisement I committed to several months ago in "Empower," a little newsletter being put together by the local chapter of ME3.org, a cool local volunteer organization. I threw it together in about an hour using MS Word 2007, and while admittedly I have my limitations, I think it turned out okay...What'dyall think?

Mac the Knife Posted July 27, 2009 Author Share Posted July 27, 2009 Some additional implementation pictures...More to come, some actually featuring the "vertical" layout rather than the horizontally-styled one you've seen here thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 If I lived in Raleigh, I'd be giving you business, instead of my usual routine of giving you the business. The design is very nice; the logo is sharp, the wordmark complements it well, and the color selection is solid. The sign on the building facade is quite bland, but I would guess that's because of restrictions placed by the strip mall, so that all tenants' signs have a similar look to them. I wish you all the best on this, especially since you have the stones to be starting up a new retail business in a downturn, and because it's patently obvious to anyone here that the profits from this enterprise will promptly be funneled into the start of a new, sustainable, professional spring football league.
