Snowville Through The Seasons

Warren and Victoria Taylor of Snowville Creamery are at it again. They continue to ask me to hand paint images that they can use to advertise in the Edible Columbus magazines. I am greatly appreciative! I love to paint. I don’t get to many chances to paint for work, living in the mostly graphic design world. So when they ask me to paint I get super excited! Below is the Winter and Spring editions of Snowville art. Hope you like them.

Space Cadet Soaps

One of our favorite clients is Space, from Space Cadet Soaps. She is truly a beautiful person. You will not find more kind, roots righteous people than Space her husband Smiles and their three boys Simon, Eli and Forest. That’s why KMS had to come up with just the right logo for Space’s business venture Space Cadet Soaps. We think this logo sums up the essence of Space. We hope you enjoy it too.

Re-Design for our favorite local Distillery – Fifth Element

Fifth Element Spirits (formerly Dancing Tree Distillery) in Shade, Ohio is a craft distillery creating vodka, gin, & specialty spirits with non-GMO and organic ingredients grown locally in southeast Ohio.

They re-branded themselves as Fifth Element Spirits (FES) because of legal issues with another distilery. KMS did their original logo, so FES asked Kevin to keep the initial unicorn and monkey but incorporate something that would represent the change. Here’s what he came up with.

Athens Tourism Logo

Kevin was approached by the Athens County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau to update the logo for the Athens Tourism Bureau. He wanted to keep the logo simple and inviting, so he used bright colors, flowing lines and a “sunburst e” to grab your attention and keep you focused on the word “Athens”. Reaction to the new logo has been fantastic. Check out their Facebook page to see the logo in action.
