Barroco Cigars. Branding

The Objective was to create a distinctive and elegant look that stand out BARROCO from its competitors and also from the other members of the Di Fazio cigars family. BARROCO has a unique vitola: Di Fazio wants to bring to its customers a new concept of hand made cigars that evokes power and tradition that will certainly be an experience worth having. Its ring and outstanding cigar box is a reflection of the class and dedication put into this cigar. We use a stunning color combination and an extraordinary die cut shape that really stand out with metallic inks and foil gold, creating a nice contrast with dark tobacco leaves of the cigar and it's black wood box.

Tulip Chair (restored)

We found a couple of original Tulip Chairs designed by Eero Saarinen at a thrift shop in town. (One of our obsessions: designer chairs)

Full story of this great piece at KNOLL website but for now enjoy the picture. Finally have them restored: this is "the real McCoy". Our friend Roberto from BOTEKA did a great job.

Katarina Fritsch. SF MOMA '97

 

Katarina Fritsch at SF MOMA (born 14 February 1956 is a German sculptor).  Great concept, big scale pieces and immaculate montage and technique. Here is a picture from the brochure front cover and a couple of images found on the web of some pieces that were in the MOMA, early months of 1997.

Brand Design for ARTISAN Kitchen and Bar

Making a logo is always challenging. Is like giving a face to a entire project. Identity! 

One of our favorite logo design at 3ciclo: ARTISAN Kitchen and Bar

Artisan Kitchen & Bar is a new restaurant located in Key Biscayne, Florida specializing in handcrafted food and great microbrewery selection with a serious draft options. The brand image for Artisan synthesized these two concepts.
 Artisan’s logo looked for a simple but modern way to communicate comfort food and drinks through the use of a bold orange color to bring brightness and freshness to the brand. The no saturated version of the logo works perfectly in a variety of materials such as wood, metal and craft paper.
Artisan's logo had been applied in business cards, menu, t-shirts, caps and entrance sign of the restaurant...
A highly recommended place to eat and have drinks with family and friends.
