New Year, New Work

It’s been a pleasure generating new business with my partners at The Bench in Los Angeles. The new year is bringing more work from Nike and hopefully even more to come. Here’s a taste of the incredible work The Bench has produced and pulled together for Nike Style Studios.

Celebrating 9 Years of studiojeffrey

My heart is full. And I can’t thank you enough!

Thank you to all of my bold clients, and passionate partners. Thank you for your trust in our branding and design work together. Thank you for paying on time. And most of all, thank you for coming back for more! It is truly my pleasure to support your ideas and endeavors.

Another year of branding design and business is in the books here at studiojeffery. The clients and budgets have been bigger and the creative outlets have spanned into further realms than ever before. I’ve also been lucky enough to add Ralph Lauren to my wardrobe of hats that I wear, working as a brand ambassador for my favorite fashion company in the world.

I’m forever grateful to still be running this studio, nine years strong, and I’m forever thankful to my family of supporters. Especially the ones who inspire me with their designs and business sense. Let’s keep on truckin’ into 2024. I’ll see you there.

Winning in 2023 – Best Design Agency in Edgewater, CO.

Thank you to the Cities Honor Company for selecting studiojeffrey as the winner of best Design Agency of 2023. This came as a surprise today and I’m humbled and honored to receive the award. I’m working hard as an entrepreneur to give Colorado businesses the best name possible. A special thank you, THANK YOU to all of my clients, partners and supporters. Happy Labor Day!

Branding illustration work

Here is a set of illustrations that I made for the Progressive brand, focused on motorcycle insurance. Along side the direction of Wasserman’s sports and entertainment division in Miami, FL. I created these tattoo inspired images for a new app. It’s such a thrill to be tasked with jobs like this and I love the outcome of the creative.

Time to re-up with Nike

It’s been quite, quite the year of branding design. How are you? I’ve been designing steady for a boutique agency in Los Angeles called Infinity Marketing, all through my partners at the bench.

This week brings a new challenge of designing a pitch to the one and only Nike. Let’s do it! I mean, just do it!

"Top Logo Designer"

Thanks to UpCity for naming studiojeffrey as a top logo design company. We even have a landing page! B2B is alright with me. Contact the studio to inquire.

Contracts abound in this new year. I’m doing my best to keep up and I’m beyond thankful for the new work and client relationships.

Had a blast designing with the always talented sports division of Wasserman in NYC. Finally a client who asked for my European design sensibility. Too much fun!

Workin' for the city

As new campaigns roll out around developing Colorado, I’ve partnered with Greenlight Strategy to design new brand identities for several campaigns. Here’s a look at the latest for the city of Westminster, Colorado.

Greenlight Strategy x studiojeffrey

A look at the brand identity package that I just finished designing for Greenlight Strategy. Based here in Colorado, Greenlight is a new public affairs agency, specializing in “helping land use project move forward”.

The design brief was to keep a simple, relatable and approachable feel to the branding marks. All while inspiring stuck companies to “Go, Go, Go with Greenlight”! The icon is designed to bring about a quick sense of “a trusted partner” who will “flow through the traffic jams” to get your project done.

In the “before and after” above, you can see the design solution is a soft shaped, upper case “G” based on the brand’s typeface, Barlow Semi Condensed. This helps to connect the straight forward wordmark with the icon. The color palette is updated to be a high contrast of dark and light greens.

As this company get's going, stay tuned for new work from Greenlight Strategy, and be sure to check out their new website. Congrats on your new venture, Bill!

studiojeffrey & Wasserman

A thrill, doesn’t even begin to describe how it feels to be designing with the pros at Wasserman. Team Wass is a global sports, music and culture agency. We are developing designs for sports logos. Thank you to everyone at Wasserman for being beyond professional and fun to work with.

studiojeffrey & Lloyd&Co

I am extremely honored and happy to say that I have been selected to design with the fashion advertising agency, Lloyd&Co., in New York City. I have been working with their teams in LA and NY for the past week on new designs for a fun client. Learn more about founder Doug Lloyd and company here.

studiojeffrey x The Phoenix

These past few summer months, I have designed and art directed a new look for The Phoenix and their webstore. The Phoenix is a brilliant, nationwide, sober community, based here in Denver. Now in 22 states, the community is growing, and needs to represent! It feels really good to design for good. Here’s a look at a few of the shirt designs that will be going into production and a few alternate designs.

HBO Max

Within the guidelines of HBO’s brand standards, I designed this call to action postcard, alongside Civic in NYC. This one draws you in with front running shows, The Sopranos, Warrior, Game of Thrones and Mare of Eastown. Always thankful to work with this A-list talent.

Designer Wisdom

So we don’t forget where we came from, I will be adding “Designer Wisdom” to the site. Leading the way is my favorite designer of all time, Paul Rand. He said, “Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that’s why it is so complicated”.

Branding Design & Strategy © Tenet Coffee

I recently partnered with a local coffee roaster, here in Colorado. After grinding and tasting some of this coffee, I am hooked on the tenets these beans are made by. And I can’t for you to try. Here’s a taste of the latest work.

Tenet Coffee Primary Identity

Tenet Coffee Alternate Identity

I was tasked with designing this brand around two, humble coffee roasters, and businessmen. The name “Tenet” was selected based on market research, competitive analysis, and the brand’s confident voice.

The company is staring small, with select batches of coffee being sold. Therefore, not only was the logo and package a consideration, we thought about many touch points of the brand from the beginning.

Amazon's Audible x Weezer

Thrilled to get the call to design new Weezer, OK Human ads and landing pages. The cover art features work by the incredibly intricate, Swedish illustrator, Mattias Adolfsson.

I happily partnered again with Civic Entertainment Group to create new, storied ads. Each support Audible’s latest release of Weezer’s audio liner notes for the new album. Yes, like the guts of records, cassettes and CD’s we all used to investigate and figure out just what the actual lyric was! Amazon’s Audible is now letting the details be heard.

Once finished, we got the “OK, Human” from the band and brand. Here’s a look at some of the creative and design.

Check out the amazing cover art and process, from sketch to completion, by Mattias Adolfsson.

Amazon's Audible x Sundance Film Festival 2021

I’m always happy and honored to work with mega-brands like Amazon. For the past couple of months, I have been designing for their Audible brand with Civic Entertainment Group, based in NYC. Every year, Audible sponsors the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. This year, because of the pandemic, the festival was held online, and most of the experience happened on a desktop or mobile device. Working with this talent was too much fun! Here’s a taste of the campaign’s advertising creative and design.

Return Client

Happy to be partnered again with Civic Entertainment Group, based in New York City. I love working on experiential and environmental graphic design with this talented bunch. It’s a little different this year, with social distancing and all, but we’re working that in.

For Health, Wealth & Happiness

Finished this Money Tree on canvas as part of a new series of plant paintings I’ve been working on. This technique of using hand cut stencils is really doing it for me. I’ve always been inspired by Matisse’s cut paper and art. I feel like I can finally make art how I see the world. More to come.

Six Years! Thank You!

In 2014 I had a decision to make, whether to keep designing professionally or not. I chose to keep going. By putting myself through more schooling, finding some mentors, working really hard, and finding some more clients, I pressed on.

Thank you to everyone who has stood by me, and my decision to do business as studiojeffrey. And a HUGE thanks to all who have taught me along the way, sat down and drawn with me, worked with me as a client, sent referrals my way, bought products I’ve designed, and just plain been nice to me over the years. I don’t take this job, or studio for granted. I love it, I love designing, here’s to six more!
