Evoke: A Porsche training center that’s also a place for community, fellowship and brotherhood rooted in Christianity. Basically a high-end Christian retreat center disguised as a racing school. The ‘O’ in the center balances positive and negative space to double as a cross. Italicized letterforms are inspired by the motorsport side of the retreat.

Final direction chosen for a friend’s concrete c

Final direction chosen for a friend’s concrete construction company. The modular and linear “A” form is a representation of the concrete construction process, whether it’s form building or piecing together heavy blocks of solid concrete. The icon also faces towards the future at a 3/4 angle, allowing a positive expression. Pairing includes a solid word mark.

Here’s how the lightning bolt came to fruition.

Here’s how the lightning bolt came to fruition. An unused identity concept for a friend’s electrical contracting business—M3 Electric. They’re comprised of 3 IBEW electricians, whom all have first names beginning with “M.” The bolt serves not only as an abstract 3, but also as a mathematical exponent representing the 3 founders. For color, electric blue seemed fitting.

The gentlemen over at Sigma Alpha Epsilon enlisted our team at Pivot Design to do a complete rebrand. With such an incredibly rich history, we focused on a strong single element in their coat of arms: the Phoenix. A symbol of rebirth, a symbol of rising above—a much needed message for their organization. Completed along side Daniel Andrews and under direction of Brock Haldeman, Brett Tabolt, and Liz Kanter of Pivot Design.

Remember that electrical company I was doing an identity for? Well here’s the other option I showed! It also uses the crisp and bright blue, but incorporates the thunder bolt within the M. We’ve moved forward with this direction and the website is up and running. Glad I could help another friend!

Who doesn’t like copper!? Here’s another unuse

Who doesn’t like copper!? Here’s another unused ID for that same building at 175 in Chicago. For this concept I focused solely on the architectural structure that makes the 2 distinct building atriums possible. From there I added a bonus numerical set also based on the grid. These numbers could be used for floor signage, room numbers, stationery, etc. Ultra thin and ultra sophisticated. Created under creative direction of Brock Haldeman and Heather Kintner of Pivot Design, Chicago.
