Script is altered Studio Lettering by House Industries
Nothing says southern comfort like letterpressed tractor emblems. These die cut business cards bring a modern feel to rural attitudes, indicating high quality work performed with a smile.
This piece functions as a communication tool for my studio and the creative services I provide. It had to live up to my positioning statement of, “Superbly Crafted Visual Communications.” The concept is based on my roots and growing up in the rural South. The card is inspired by old painted barns, enameled steel signage and badges that may be found on tractors. It depicts a level of hand-craftsmanship, hospitality and personal service from those bygone days which I try to keep alive in my work.
