Kansas City-based Glace (say it this way, “Gla-say”) Artisan Ice Cream is a more grown-up sweet treat expression, rich in texture and inventive flavors like Venezuelan dark chocolate, fleur de sel caramel and pineapple-cilantro sorbet. The corresponding brand expression is clean, sophisticated and a nod to the owner’s love of modern minimalism. At the same time, copy and color palette make it feel fun and approachable. The logo also incorporates a sly tie to ice cream with circles that look like melting “drips” hitting the floor, while tailored graphic elements make the identity feel fashionable and unexpected in the category. glaceicecream.com  <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/590740/Glace1.png" border="0" width="670" height="268" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/590740/Glace2.png" border="0" width="670" height="519" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/590740/Glace3.png" border="0" width="670" height="449" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/590740/Glace4.png" border="0" width="670" height="434" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/590740/Glace5.png" border="0" width="670" height="457" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/590740/Glace6.png" border="0" width="670" height="475" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/590740/Glace7.png" border="0" width="670" height="475" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/590740/Glace8.png" border="0" width="670" height="278" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/590740/Glace9.png" border="0" width="670" height="468" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/590740/Glace10.png" border="0" width="670" height="468" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/590740/Glace11.png" border="0" width="670" height="397" align="left" /> ........................................................................................................................................................................

Bottle Rocket is an Asian fusion restaurant / bar concept with a tapas style menu and a relaxed yet refined environment. The branding and logo is inspired by the flashy style of Asian signage.

A limited-budget brand identity and voice for a new neighborhood restaurant in Kansas City that features refined twists on familiar comfort food from James Beard award-winning chef Celina Tio. The name derives from Tio’s main cooking influences, Julia Child and her grandfather Julian.

Christopher Elbow is both chocolatier and artist whose amazing work has captured the attention of connoisseurs across America including celebrities like Oprah. The goal was to create an identity as elegant as his brand. By focusing on the artistry that was already present in the product, we were able to create unique work acrossed the identity system, web and advertising. <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/204167/Elbow15_1.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="379" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/204167/Elbow5.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="468" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/204167/Elbow6.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="468" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/204167/Elbow.png" border="0" width="670" height="558" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/204167/Elbow1.png" border="0" width="670" height="558" align="left" /> To promote the grand opening of Elbow’s new home location and drive foot traffic, we created an outdoor “installation” of Christopher Elbow’s chocolate artistry in the heart of Kansas City’s arts district during a monthly “gallery crawl.” Twelve individual chocolate pieces were turned into “framed art” and mounted on walls, with a ‘title card” placed adjacent as if in a real gallery. As a result, the store tripled in usual sales and had to stay open two hours later than normal to accommodate customers. <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/204167/Elbow7.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="467" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/204167/Elbow8.png" border="0" width="670" height="467" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/204167/Elbow11.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="467" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/204167/Elbow12.png" border="0" width="670" height="467" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/204167/Elbow10.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="467" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/204167/Elbow9.png" border="0" width="670" height="467" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/204167/Elbow3.png" border="0" width="670" height="508" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/204167/Elbow4.png" border="0" width="670" height="508" align="left" /> ........................................................................................................................................................................

Instead of simply conveying a message about an individual play being performed, the image and words go beyond to capture the essence of the annual festival—that it’s a witty, professional production of Shakespeare and that it’s free. Two words are all it takes to say it and to evoke far more in the process. The powerful, revolutionary-style graphic gives the piece a populist look appropriate to the fact that everyone is welcome to attend the performances at no charge. It turned out to be so powerful that the Festival committee decided to continue to use the piece on all its messaging into the foreseeable future. <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/191349/FreeWill0_1.png" border="0" width="670" height="647" align="left" />   <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/191349/FreeWill3_5.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="448" align="left" />   <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/191349/FreeWill2_5.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="448" align="left" /> <img src="http://c0573862.cdn.cloudfiles.rackspacecloud.com/1/0/11054/191349/FreeWill1_5.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="448" align="left" /> http://www.nathanielcoopercreative.com/191349/Shakespeare-Festival http://www.nathanielcoopercreative.com/183014/Flickr-Stream http://www.nathanielcoopercreative.com/183014/Flickr-Stream Thu, 10 Dec 2009 20:22:08 +0000 Nathaniel Cooper Creative 183014 http://www.nathanielcoopercreative.com/183014/Flickr-Stream
