The agency Sanders\Wingo made groundbreaking changes in advertising by incorporating human behavior into the formula. While internal efforts focused on the new process, LewisCarnegie worked on a new identity to include a custom typographic word mark, fresh S\W icon and expanded graphic guidelines. A simplified color palette includes black and bright green – symbolizing growth, renewal, wealth, and the obvious “go” in their name.

The LBJ School of Public Affairs is one of the best graduate public affairs schools in the nation and it's tied to a top-tier research university – the University of Texas at Austin. LBJ needed a site to match their prestigious reputation; a site that would garner quality applicants with easy-to-understand navigation. Furthermore, it needed to be sustainable for their internal team. To re-organize their navigation to meet their goals, we met with LBJ’s leaders, directors and managers to better understand their content and audience. The results of their input culminated into a click-able, detailed wireframe prototype, and soon after, a design prototype. We then worked with Sundaram to develop a custom drupal theme based on the University’s requirements as well as incorporate a streamlined web-publishing workflow for LBJ’s team. https://www.lbj.utexas.edu

Pizza is universal. Home Slice is home town. Lewis Carnegie was asked to assist in expanding the iconic Home Slice brand for the first time outside of the legendary South Congress location. A salute to the decade when New York City went financially bankrupt and introduced the world to new thoughts on music, art and community. Disco, hip hop, punk ruled the land using simple techniques, rough materials and a work ethic indicative of the gritty 70s & 80s; wheat paste, xerox, stickers, silkscreens, stencils and spray paint, we kept the ideas hungry, fun and unforgettable.

O-K Paper Company is over a hundred years strong. Over time the company divided by industry, with completely different branding for each industry. It was time to bring the family back together. Inspired by their long-time mantra “the Friendliest People in the Industry” – we built a universal brand to tie all the companies together using the shield, a lively color palette and playful typography. We designed a new website to showcase O-K’s custom tools and easy-to-access paper resources for both designers and printers. The navigation incorporates a waterfall of colored paper, allowing O-K to feature different paper lines and swap them out easily. With a cheerful brand comes non-stop opportunities to play with the name and definition of O-K, and apply them to any form of giveaways from t-shirts to patches, swatch books to calendars – it’s always O-K. Get it? We made O-K great again. Alright, Alright, O-K…. that’s enough.

A spangled sign directs theatre-goers to the main entrance, while other signage provides guidance through the campus and connects old buildings to new. Thank-you’s to the donors who made the new theatre possible are thoughtfully incorporated into the architectural design. Services include Signage & Wayfinding.

Before Marc’s work adorned the pages of newsworthy magazines and the walls of art collectors, he faced every illustrators challenge – how to stay fresh on art director’s minds. After studying self promotion that landed in the trash against the few we hung onto, we recognized a need for something personal and collectable to make that lasting impression. A series of small printed art books featuring Marc’s unique illustrative style met the challenge. Each book cover showcases a different printing technique on premium papers, sometimes inspiring art directors with new projects Marc has taken on over the years.

The campus of Rice University is a hidden gem in Houston’s museum district. We helped people find their way in. Though beautifully situated, the Rice University campus had no central entrance and no clear wayfinding strategy. We created a master plan for wayfinding and signage that included a naming and numbering system for campus entrances, markers at each point of entry, a sign system with replaceable panels, and a unified visual language for campus signage and building identification. Project created with Pentagram.

The University of Texas's Harry Ransom Center is the owner of several impressive firsts – including the first photograph and a rare copy of the Gutenberg Bible, the first substantial book printed from movable type on a printing press. As distinguished pieces in their permanent collection, they are prominently displayed in the lobby and are SEGD award-winning exhibits. The Gutenberg Bible features a build out that plays off the printing process type blocks. For the first photograph, we turned the picture over and blew it up. Visitors approach the photograph through an exterior shell that replicates the photographer’s notes on the back in etched metal. For the first few rotating exhibits, Make It New and In a New Light, we designed everything from the cases and display layouts to wall graphics and exhibit layout.
