La Grande Dame

It's the new, new - moving forward with hot, top-end, plus size fashion from LGD

La Grande Dame offers more designers in more plus sizes than anyone on earth! They are also a team of fashionistas who are passionate about their work and extremely dedicated to their customers. We wanted to design something that spoke elegance, yet keeping it still very cart centric with the user in mind at every step. Since they already had a site up for quite a while, we took their order data, feedback, keyword reports, Analytics and went to work. We ended up with a cleaner, optimized, noise free interface that would not only be exciting and fun to shop with but also to instill trust and illustrate LGD's obvious attention to their users.

Performance MMA New Identity

New Brand Guidelines, Typefaces and Logo, Oh My!

Performance MMA is the face of high "performance" MMA gear and clothing. They are also very active in the MMA community with their Facebook page, Twitter area, their sponsored fighters and big title bout promotions. We wanted to create a logo that would not only embody "high performance" but we also wanted to create a face that would instill power, speed, movement, while all done with a clean technique, much like the fighters themselves. We also wanted to move away from the blood sport and grunge typefaces that simply don't scale well on mixed media.

LED Christmas Lights

LED Christmas Lights, Bump to the Music, Hey!

Primo Lights are not just for the holidays. They sell party, event lights all year long. It's also nice to see other Volusion designers working together instead of being silos of development. That's us. Working in a vacuum never pays off.
