California Trimmer

Brand Work

Logo update • Stationery System • Product Branding • Website

Since 1935, California Trimmer has been producing a single product whose innovative design and functionality has literally withstood time – the California Trimmer reel mower. They are built so well and function so effectively that the product design has changed very little since its introduction in the 1930s. Unfortunately, the visual brand of the company hadn’t changed much either. Our challenge was to update the company’s existing logo, develop product badges, and develop a new corporate website, maintaining the key characteristics that have defined this iconic brand for nearly a century, while also giving it more of a contemporary flair. Our solution honors the history of this time-tested company with a design that is both contemporary and timeless, like the product itself.

I'm an award-winning graphic designer - which means I've paid a bunch of money to graphic design publications in order to have peers in my field  judge my work and give me a certificate with a gold star on it. Awards are nice but they are based purely on aesthetic. They don't take into consideration project scope, the discovery process, my design process, and, most importantly, the impact my design work had on my client's bottom line. A great designer once said, "Good graphic design solves real business problems, because if it doesn't it's just decorating."

 

What this boils down to  –  I'm an award winning graphic designer who solves real business problems for my clients.

 

Partnering with talented, driven, collaborative people and creating lasting, meaningful work is my passion.

 

Let's work together.
