This & That

Budget Rent-A-Car BC

We are pleased to announce the latest addition to our list of clients, Budget Rent-A-Car BC. Budget Rent-A-Car BC is the official operator of the national Budget brand in British Columbia and Yukon, Canada. With over 80 locations in B.C. and a fleet size of approximately 7000 vehicles, it was exciting to apply our design methodology to a brand of this size and that’s well over 50 years old. Our recent project with them includes a new website and a visual language unique to Budget serving British Columbia.

The idea behind the website was the merger of a leisure experience and the allure of the cars & trucks themselves. The primary navigation plays off the body styling of car, with its shine, dimples and grooves. Adding to the personality of the site, the typeface we’ve selected gives off a modernized easy-going vibe. To stage each vehicle, we used a mix and match strategy that creates a playful semi-reality composition. Overall, the design is comprised of simple shapes and subtle gradations, staying consistent with the iconic Budget logo.

ivivva athletica

It’s our studio belief to continually push our creative boundaries and with ivivva athletica, we jumped at this opportunity! A debut project for us in athletic apparel, our challenge was furthered as we had to design to an audience we’ve never designed for; young energetic girls. Un-phased, we pushed ahead and found our answer in free flowing ribbons of color.

The Keefer Bar

One of Vancouver’s most unique bar settings with cocktails nowhere alike; we were inspired by the dim light, wood décor of the Keefer Bar in Vancouver Chinatown. In crafting their website, we wanted to match the ambient setting that you instantly feel when you enter. It’s a trip down the rabbit hole!
