Delicatessen Meyer Identity
Delicatessen Meyer is a half century old German grocer in the heart of Chicago's Lincoln Square. When purchased by our client, Hans Liebl, (of Hans' All Natural Sausages) a new identity was needed. A new-old identity. Using illustrations and typefaces inspired by ancient German woodcut prints, and incorporating the familiar red checkered pattern of the deli's shopping bags, we designed a logo and identity package that managed to be fresh, sleek and new while retaining the atmosphere of Europe's centuries-old traditions and cultures.
Big Kahuna Cantina Menu
It's bad enough working on menus for new restaurants... but when you work on them before lunch, and everything sounds so good... The lush and tropical, spicy and sultry but all the while tongue in cheek dishes and dish at Big Kahuna Cantina kept us creative and colorful. The project was fun, and the fusion behind the concept kept us challenged - and hungry.
Wave Restaurant Menus
A modern vibe and a fresh take on dining... Wave Restaurant inside Chicago's W Hotel isn't your average hotel dining! It is a destination with fabulous dishes and beautiful atmosphere. We were given the challenge to come up with a menu to match the creativity of the chef and the strength of the surroundings. Combining a durable menu board with a frosty, sexy paper stock and layout, we rode that Wave. Oh yes we did.
www.Mythanx.com
Chris Catalano approached us for help in bringing to life the giant light bulb floating over his head. His idea was so big and bright, and Chris is so likable and genuinely excited, soon it went airborne in our studio, and mythanx.com became a reality. A social media site in which you can do what can be so difficult to put into words - express thanks, thanx to be exact! Chris' brainchild, we followed suit from identity, web design, original illustrations, copy, and a whole bunch of things in between.

ENAZ, Energy. Nature, Attitude. Zest for Life. The name says it all, and the whole family is involved in every aspect of this unique clothing boutique in Highland Park. By combining their personalities with the shop's offerings and events, we were able to create an e-commerce website harnessing the special ENAZ power!
Fin Identity
The whole kit and caboodle. Our longstanding client, CRC was creating a new seafood concept and needed, well, everything. We were happy to provide the logo, look, identity, site, menus and more for fin. We stopped short of oyster shucking.

Our first client, ah memories, paired up with The Nineteenth Century Club to be their official caterer. Way to cook, Cucina Paradiso/2Maytoz Catering! We combined the two in an elegant blending of old and new.
SystechInfo.com
We have had a great long standing work relationship with the folks at Systech, so when they asked us to redo their site, we said w00t! All hacker style, just like that.
