After celebrating its 75th anniversary, this non-profit organization was ready for a fresh identity. We chose to creatively use typography in reversing a seed shape by utilizing space inside the double f's. The logo was derived from the words "catalyst" and "shaping the future for agriculture" which reflect their mission statement. The graphic element itself is uniquely positioned to assist in audience brand recognition.

Vitek Design was selected to provide creative expertise for a new concept lifestyle brand, Jackdaddy. The company provides dating advice for men with creating brand extension into apparel.

Some even see a silhouette of a female... we'll let you decide. This was a very exclusive opportunity for us that differed from our corporate and nonprofit work. It allowed for some fluid creative freedom.

The oldest charity in Illinois retained Vitek Design to reinvent the branded images for the organization and its various programs. While keeping the heritage of the shield in the main logo, we then introduced a font inspired by the famous Scottish artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh. For the Scottish Business Forum, a modern twist on the thistle, the symbol of nobility, was selected. Mackintosh was also known for his iconic rose paintings that were inspired by the love he had for his wife. This was the perfect identification component for the Scottish Home which is a private community that provides assisted living and nursing care. We took the symbol to another level by adding a person embracing a heart and then utilized petals to invoke a sense of security.
