Saving what matters in these times has taken on new meaning, beyond the original intent of @stasherbag #SaveWhatMatters campaign, and we're inspired to see Stasher continue making moves for healthy people, along with a healthy planet. Our work in crafting handwritten logos, illustrations, and infographics was done with those same values of generosity, community, and interconnectedness in mind. Let’s take care of each other.

“In the relentless negativity that reigns in the 2017 political landscape, my son continues to be a bright spot of innocence, joy, and wonder. I wanted to capture his sweet spirit and our special bond.” —Kelly Wahlstrom, CDA designer - #GratitudeGivesRiseTo joy.

“I was inspired by Mary Oliver’s poem, The Summer Day. It’s a twist on the adage, ‘stop and smell the roses’ that ends with a challenge.”—Keely Reyes - #GratitudeGivesRiseTo action.

The Laurel Inn is a boutique hotel in the charming Pacific Heights neighborhood in SF with strong mid-century modern sensibilities. We had the opportunity to build a new brand identity system, which included exploring and creating custom typography for the logo. Read through our lead designer's thoughts behind the concept below and swipe left to see more photos! - "I wanted to create something quiet and refined, elegant and practical. Instead of scrapping the previous mark concept (a laurel), I thought it would be nice to simplify the icon to something more symbolic, less illustrative. In contrast to the organic mark, the letters are angular (referring to the exterior) and funky — the contrast of the letters flares in a way that alludes to common shapes in mid-century culture."—@yehoshuawhite #chendesign
