Client: Humming Bird Macaron | Work Process: Client reached out to the studio for an updated version of their logo. I researched around french bakeries and pastry shops. Just gathering ideas, this is considered an Illustrated style logo. Client was very specific on the humming bird sticking it’s beack into the macaron. A metaphoric concept in the juice of life. Mrs Eaves was the typeface I went with, altering the letter N in the word. Custom illustrations were also created and turned into a pattern to be later used as fabric for the shop, such as furniture and decor covering.

I was contacted by 757 Alliance and Hampton Roads of Commerce to create an Art Map, that will further their branding efforts for the https://www.757recovery.com. After a few rounds I was chosen from list of creatives in the area, I’m happy and super grateful of their choice to go with @butterpop_art.

I had artistic liberty on this project, which made the process ever so much more smoother. The following is the Final Map which will be presented to 5000 Businesses in Hampton Roads. I created collection of about 50 icons in the collection. All done in procreate and photoshop. This made post production for the website a lot easier to execute. The programmer and animator easily transitioned the files into the final website and power-point presentation.

Landed a Coffee shop logo and branding gig after COVID lock down. This coffee shop was located in island off Taipei called Pung Hu it’s right by the ocean. The building structure rooftop was shaped like corals and all concrete. So it made sense to incorporate the hand drawn coral shapes then vectorized to form the logo with the Chinese character Translated and called “Time.” The colors of the sign is more turquoise in the day and changes to this blue at night. I went through quite a few rounds with the board of directors. Bi-lingual mandarin helped. It was interesting that a range of ages on the board determined final out come. Just because the older generation wanted more the character to come out and less illustrative elements. The younger perspectives loved the coral illustration. I try to find a balance of two in-order to make it work. I thought about Charles Machintosh, the architect. How he designed these beautiful simple organic sillous in squares while I was sketching initial designs. I thought about nature, the sea, being inspired in this coffee shop when one steps in to feel an new local experience.. All the things.. The coffee shop is open and absolutely stunning. More photos to come.

Client: Orion’s Roof | Fine dining Japanese Restaurant Work Process: Client wanted the word the word Orion to have the O as the emphasis of the Final Identity Design. A lot of options were explored. In old Japanese culture, retail shops, restaurants and businesses, often have a visual illustrated crest in either a circle, square or triangle. Depicting plants, nature, animations, kanji as metaphors and meaning to the family business. They are mounted as signs on top of the shop. I thought about creating a symbol that embodied either a wave or fish tale inside of the letter O. I thought about how it can easily translate to napkins, menus, websites, social media, retail products etc. The brand colors are inspired from the sunsets in Virginia Beach. They sometimes have a copper glow merging into the pink and purple skies. The lines inside of the logo also mimics the Interior Design in the restaurant.
