phoenixwave is an independent graphic design pressence imagined and created by me...Lucas Tetrault.
I wanted to portray a large tree but not have the tree itself scream - ìhey, Iím a tree!î I wanted to give it some creativity and help set it apart from other Church logos that Iíve seen. The thought behind the many different shapes and shades of color is to help push home the idea of a stained glass window. Almost as if the cross itself frames the window and is allowing light to shine through the panes of glass. I also chose a very modern font to help bring the new logo some revitalized life and stability. (this tree idea will also come into play with the little blessings child care logo)
First Internet Bank was releasing a new application for the popular mobile platforms, Android, Apple iOS and the iPad. The task at hand was to create something that maintained their established brand yet looked new and fresh to appeal to the mobile market. I created sets of icons for each mobile operating system as well as a skin for certain elements of the app.
Needle and Thread Productions wanted to go as literal with their logo as possible, while still trying to be playful. The end result was a combination of a sewing needle, thread and a film reel in the shape of a roll of thread. The client was pleased from the first submission; a few alterations to the type treatment and this was a very successful logo!
Reid Foundation called and wanted to do a commercial/video promo for their STOP program and needed it quickly. By quickly I mean within a 3 week time period. I had a great relationship with Melissa Vance from Reid and I knew that with the two of us working on this project we could pull it off. The end result was a great video that I think accomplished exactly what the Foundation was trying to portray about the STOP program.
Andy Thompson of the Thompson Group called me and asked if I would be interested in designing a logo and brand for what would soon become his new company, the RMD Group. What we wanted to do was create a brand that still kept what the Thompson Group and RMD Patti represented but to combine the two into one unified brand. The result was achieved by using the orange color from RMD Patti and the type treatment from the Thompson Group.
