Utah Web Design Blog

We recently completed a new logo for Sidekix! A toy company that makes little stuffed animals that zip into a ball, and can be clipped together or onto a backpack. WAY FUN! Next up – Business cards and website. Which stuffed animals would you think would be cool for them to develop?

Logo Lounge — a prestigious compilation of logos from around the world — chose four of Red Olive’s logos to be included in their upcoming 2011 Master Library Collection. We are both honored and stoked to say the least. The award and recognition is for our logo & brand identity for The Mini Brochure, Rock Cosmic, neScience and Speculate.

What do you get when you combine chopsticks with a fork? The Chork.  Red Olive had the opportunity to work on this cool project from the get go, it’s great when we can start with a clean slate and design a strong foundation from the start. Our creatives finished up the logo, print collateral, packaging, web site, and multiple marketing ads just this week.  Check it out.

Thanks LogoLounge.  V

Just like the concept with Craythorne Homes, Red Olive Designers made a unique ‘custom’ looking site that really sets them apart from your typical custom home building site. The site re-design was a little bit of a branding project as well.

First off, what hits you is the woody motif. It’s the organic feel that’s nice, with cool knotted wood surrounding the surreal family scene (Redwood maybe, I dunno). The tag line, created by yours truly, was a little branding effort put into the project (“Coming Home Never Felt So Good”).

From the back end, we’re proud to show a little Google map integration. The homes are mapped out with Google’s mapping API; something you can play around with. I especially like turning on the Google’s street level so you can take a little tour of the neighborhood.

A tip of the hat goes to our contacts at Craythorne and wish them the best of luck with the new site manicure.

Our friends at Paragon have a sharp looking new logo thanks to our print designers. Out with the old look and on to something a little refreshing.

The iconic mountain image — looks cool with the green and white space to give you a snow topped look. The logo will grace Paragon’s stationary letterhead and business cards that came off the press recently.

That’s one thing that some don’t expect us to be pro at — print.

This is only a snippet of what will come soon to grace their look, which we will brag..er ehem.. talk about in a soon to come blog post.

Paradigm Solutions Group, a utah engineering and information technology recruiting firm, came to Red Olive, a utah website design firm, with multiple goals in mind.

First, they needed a professional logo designed, one that really depicted who they were as a firm. The Red Olive Creative team was able to deliver several logos that Paradigm loved, but there was one in particular that stuck out above the rest.

Second, Paradigm needed a stunning website. Knowing the goal in mind, the Red Olive team delivered much of the same results. In addition to the logo and website, Paradigm also had the Red Olive team design their letterhead, envelopes, and business cards to match their brand.
