Flylow Catalog
Blender is responsible for all print design and brand management for Flylow Gear. In addition to logos, catalogs, product designs, and product illustrations, Blender has created an ongoing ad campaign for Flylow. Print ads created for nationally known magazines like Skiing Magazine, and Powder Magazine have taken Flylow from a small home run business, to an up and coming player in the outdoor apparel industry.

Recording artist J.E. Borgen came to Blender when it was time to create the album artwork and marketing collateral for his latest album "The General Store".  Blender utilized a mix of vintage imagery, contemporary colors, and illustration while maintaining  clean accessible content.

Dry Creek Enterprises
Dry Creek hired Blender to re-create their companies image. Selling Native American artifacts and jewelry  throughout the western United states, they wanted to maintain the "cowboys and indians" vernacular but with a modern twist and without being too "hokey". Blender achieved this by creating old world textures and mixing them with clean linear designs. This approach has helped DryCreek Enterprises to stand out in their industry and given them a competitive edge.

Fentress Architects
Blender won a design competition to receive the opportunity to re-brand international award winning Fentress Architects. The key to this logo design was to create a logo that complimented their design aesthetic, and did not compete with it. Logo, business cards, letterhead, envelopes, brochures, business forms, pocket folders, proposals, packaging, media kits, postcards, and identity standards guide were all included in this project.  It was a huge challenge, but very rewarding with all that we learned, and the capabilities we gained.
