Behold, Our Hand-crafted Labor Of Logo Love

admin — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 08:48:41 +0000

When we decided to give ourselves a little makeover, we knew two things: One, our new identity system had to be awesome. And two, it was the perfect opportunity to work with a dude we’ve long admired: Mr. Simon Walker aka @super_furry. His style of hand-drawn type was perfect for the new visual direction of our brand and the dude’s work is just sick. Sick.

So we asked him to create a hand-done, hand-lettered mark that reflected the Polish roots of Projekt (which literally means ‘design’ in Polish), and we wanted it to have an angular, constructivist, and vintage European feeling to it. Which, in our humble opinion, he absolutely nailed. For a closer look, hop on over to our homepage and peep the goods.

Comm Arts Gives Us The Fresh Profile Treatment

You know that scene in Wayne’s World where the guys drop to their knees and grovel at the feet of Alice Cooper? That’s us right now but times a thousand millions. Although we’re not dropping before a tattooed, leather-clad, snake-charming rock legend, we have been absolutely humbled by the fine folks at Communication Arts for their “Fresh” profile feature of Projekt, Inc. We couldn’t be more stoked. Seriously, to be in the company of such great creative talent is so appreciated, it’s lightyears beyond the limits of our vocabulary. All we can really say is, we’re not worthy! (But we’re totally honored.)

1… 2… 3… It’s A Comm Arts Three-peat

Jordan. The Yankees. Projekt, Inc. What do these have in common? They all have three-peats under their belt. And while ours is a little different than theirs, we couldn’t be happier with our third feature as a Communication Arts Webpick of the day. Our first was for Middletown Lumber, our second was for Pond & Company, and our most recent was for the work we did for the amazing Martin Treu with illustrations by our long time collaborator, Scotty Reifsnyder. Honestly, we couldn’t be more thrilled to be in the company of such great industry talent. We’re honored, humbled, and more than a little proud to have such great clients to work with.

Hot And Fresh: New Illustrated Sweetness

admin — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 15:00:38 +0000

Who doesn’t love delicious, vegan, kosher, organic, all-natural and hand-made baked goods that are adorably named after animals? People who are hate smiles and happiness, that’s who. For everyone else, there’s Pure Sweets. A bakery here in Philadelphia that’s run by our friend Andrea Kyan, a culinary maestro who’s just as smart — and sweet — as her treats.

Each one of her 30+ products required a custom animal illustration to match their cute, quirky names. Projekt, Inc. happily obliged and we couldn’t be happier with our work and her continued success.

Check them out now in our work section.

When our good friend and connoisseur of sweet, Andrea Kyan, needed 30+ custom illustrations for her Pure Sweets line of vegan, organic, all-natural and hand-made treats, we jumped at the chance. So we created a collection of custom and hand-made illustrated characters to go with her awesome line, all of which were adorably named after animals. This was such a fun project from both an illustration/design and consumption-of-delicious-treats standpoint, we couldn’t be more thrilled.

FORE!!! New Work For Ry Nine Fitness

admin — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 15:39:56 +0000

Despite what Caddyshack told us, being the best golfer you can be doesn’t start and end with simply being the ball. And unless you are in fact the real life Ty Webb, no amount of na na na na-ing will get you the game you want. But there’s good news. Working with Ryan Hassinger will help you do just that.

Ryan is the man behind Ry Nine Fitness, a company that focuses on helping golfers increase strength and mobility as it relates to their golf swing. The idea here is that a more fit golfer is a better golfer. As you get stronger and more flexible, your swing gets better. Then in no time you’re hitting greens from 220 and sending your friends home whimpering with lighter wallets than they came with. Plus you get to say “BOOYAH!” a lot, which is nice.

So needless to say, we were pretty pumped to help Ryan completely overhaul the digital presence for his brand. His schedule and offerings are constantly changing, so like many of our clients, we built his site on a dynamic WordPress platform that allows him to change things up on the fly, whenever he wants and wherever he goes.

Have a look at his new digs over here.

Our client and buddy, Mr. Ryan Hassinger, came to us for an interactive overhaul for Ry Nine Fitness, his company that helps golfers get stronger and more flexible to improve their games. We built his new digital home on a super-responsive, super flexible WordPress foundation that enables him to adapt and edit content on the fly, in the fairway, and even from the rough, if he should ever find himself there. (Which he won’t.)

Ho Ho H’oh Yeah!

It’s that time of year again. The cold, eggnog soaked, snow-in-the-pants holiday season that reminds us, hey, spring is only four more miserable months away. But it’s also the time to remind ourselves just how blessed we are to do what we love and work with clients we admire and care about. So this year, we wanted to thank all the fine folks in the Projekt, Inc. universe with a holiday love note and a peppermint treat from Williams-Sonoma. Here’s a link to view the finished product. And here’s the card in all its delicious, paragraph form.

From your friends at Projekt, Inc.

Season’s greetings to a most wonderful client*

*Disclaimer: This seasonal greeting comes in the form of delicious peppermint bark and is not to be confused with tree bark, a dog’s bark, or Bark Tomlinson, a fictitious 17th century basket weaver with two left arms. This tasty treat should not be eaten while hanging upside down, cage fighting, riding bulls, sharpening swords, base jumping, or immediately after being eaten by a large blue whale somewhere in the South Pacific. Side effects may include joy, merriment, or a sudden feeling of unbridled contentment. If your good mood lasts more than four hours, call a Projekt, Inc. representative at 215-699-4052. This is the end of the disclaimer. Now please, dig in.

A Little Love From Design Work Life

admin — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 17:24:31 +0000

Well looky here. The good people at Design Work Life (one of our favorite industry sites) did a feature on our new work for Martin Treu, author/designer/architect and all-around awesome client of ours. We built and designed him a brand new interactive home and our long-time buddy and collaborator Scotty Reifsnyder put his magic illustrative touch on the metaphorical storefront. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out and we’re stoked for the awesome feature.
