BRIEF

APPROACH

Our own the­mat­ic brand revolves around shells, bees, hon­ey, and tak­ing flight. What bet­ter con­cept than an illus­tra­tion of a bal­loon tak­ing flight, that looks like an idea light bulb and a bas­ket that is an upside down bee hive! We love weav­ing epi­gram­mat­ic bits into all that we do. To top that we used our Craigslist find, an 1889 C&P Let­ter­press, and mud­dled our way to cre­ate these note­cards in-house!
