No, I’m not talking about the PBS murder mystery show. I’m talking puppets.

As you may remember, we recently designed the logo for Intermountain Children’s Home’s Summer Roundup fundraiser. Tony and I attended the event {it was AWESOME!} and it raised over $100,000!! Well, this morning we got a call from Dana Holzer, the chaplain at Intermountain. Tony and I have actually known Dana for a while, {Random fact: her and her husband helped us with our wedding}, and she called to see if we could put together a quick logo for an upcoming puppet performance. It’s a yearly event, put on for the kids at Intermountain, that has a theme based around a Bible story. This year’s story is Jesus feeding the 5000. Dana’s idea was to do a 50′s diner style theme with the tagline “Seating for 5…thousand?” She had a pretty specific idea of what she wanted {plus they use the same puppet characters in each year’s logo} which made it super easy for me. It was a lot of fun putting this together and great to be able to do another logo for this wonderful organization.

Here’s the final logo!

Our good friend Laura sells her own handmade rosaries, and she has a beautiful name for them: Stella Maris Rosaries. Stella Maris means “Star of the Sea” and Laura knew exactly what she wanted in her logo. A compass with an old world look, twelve stars circling it, and a rose in the center. Here’s the end result, I think it turned out beautifully!

Thanks, Laura for letting us bring your vision to life!

A few weeks ago we were contacted by Dean Blackaby, an attorney here in Helena. He had come across our website and wanted to talk with us about some logo design work. He was in need of a new logo for both his business and the nationwide conferences he puts on. His business, MSP Education/Compliance, needed a modern, professional logo to replace the plain text he was currently using. He also needed a new logo for his conferences. Something eyecatching and creative. You see, he has a very clever theme for these {here’s where it gets totally awesome}: Pirates at the Settlement Conference.

He actually ended up choosing three logos, the MSP logo, the ship logo to use on his return address label and the skull and “crossbones” to use as the main logo and cover for his conference manual. This was a really fun job because we got to design two very different logos! We had a great time designing these and are looking forward to doing more work with Dean in the future.

And here’s what the logos look like put together on the cover of the conference manual:

Hello all! Ashley here with a little update on something Tony mentioned in our last post. We’ve been blessed to work with a great local organization, Intermountain Children’s Home, in designing a logo for their Summer Roundup fundraiser. I had so much fun coming up with designs for them to choose from and Stephanie Van Pernis, Intermountain’s Development Officer, has been amazing to work with. So {drum roll!} here’s the logo they’ve chosen…

We just met with Stephanie this morning, and we now have invitations and save the date cards in the works as well. We’ll post those as soon as the designs are finalized. We are all super excited to see the finished project. I love watching something like this go from start to finish!
