A look at some of our favorite logo designs.
As designers, we thrive on the mental gymnastics it takes to design a logo. Translating a brand into a single mark takes creativity and skill, and it’s a challenge we love.
While the end product is unique for every client, the logo creation process is the same. We start by getting to know the brand and its products, services, or mission to create a visual identity. Then we design a few concepts and use concept feedback from the client for direction to refine and polish the final design.
The following are some of our favorite logos we’ve crafted for clients over the years.
Gardner Skelton
While Gardner Skelton knew who they were, they weren’t communicating that brand promise to potential clients and employees. We created a new logo to match their level of service using a modern type treatment and a new color palette.
CleanAIRE
For this North Carolina non-profit, we created a new logo focusing on their vision. We used interconnected people and landscape, representing the action North Carolinians can take to better coexist with and restore their planet.
Tideline Pools & Patio
Tideline Pools came to us wanting a more sophisticated logo. With the use of a soothing color palette, the logo has an ambiance of relaxation and fun.
Give Grow Glorify
First Presbyterian Church Hilton Head needed a logo for their giving campaign. We designed an upbeat logo with custom icons to motivate parishioners to pledge.
Storie Street Grille
Playing off of colors that accent Storie Street Grille’s warm interior, while keeping their existing typography treatment, we had fun creating a new look for this contemporary-american bistro in Blowing Rock, NC.

Rent Ready
We refreshed the Rent Ready logo to make the door imagery clearer, pairing it with modern colors and fonts.
Quarks Academy
This daycare was named after the physics term “quarks,” subatomic particles that act as building blocks. In our logo design, the circles that form the letter Q represent not only quarks, but also the community of teachers and parents who play an essential role in learning and growth.
Quail Hollow Presbyterian Church
Quail Hollow’s steeple had become a cherished emblem and we incorporated it into the logo as a way to honor the church’s history. We paired it with a sleek typeface and updated color palette.
Hilsmier Consulting
Our design for the Hilsmier logo joins together three shapes to create an H. This represents the firm’s collaborative nature and how it brings clients and solutions together.
LSI
LSI had become well-known throughout the telemetry industry. To build on its brand recognition, we designed a logo refresh creating a more modern and relevant visual.
Novant Health Charlotte Marathon
To build local ownership around the race, we used a crown in our logo design, playing off of Charlotte’s nickname “the Queen City.”

Cottingham Chalk
When redesigning this real estate firm’s logo, we kept its iconic house but modernized the design. We also used a darker blue and an updated font to make the logo relevant and relatable.
Hunstad Kortesis
By revitalizing its visual identity, we were able to elevate the Hunstad Kortesis brand to match the standard of care its doctors give to all their patients.
180 Skincare
To launch its new skincare line, Hunstad Kortesis Bharti asked us to craft the look. Referencing elements of the parent brand, we developed a logo that could simultaneously fit within the parent brand as well as stand on its own.
OrthoCarolina Research Institute
This institute was created to help patients achieve a more mobile quality of life and to keep the field of orthopedics pressing forward. This idea of motion inspired our logo design.

Through simple iconography, precise color scheme, and clean typography, we were able to give Hollingsworth Landscape Group the beginning they needed for a long-lasting identity.
Southpark Pediatric Dentistry
The dentists at Southpark Pediatric Dentistry liked our idea of incorporating a cool, kid-friendly character into the logo to appeal to their clientele, but one that was simple and clean.
Charlotte Indoor Tennis Club
To help this tennis club appeal to a younger clientele, we incorporated vibrant colors and movement into its new logo design.
Couture Knots
When designing this logo, we choose a classic, sophisticated, and elegant typeface to reflect the rug company’s exclusive and luxe hand-woven rugs.
See The Matrix

International Fashion Style Academy
For this fashion academy, we created a timeless, modern logo design to reflect the academy’s prestige as well as stylistic expertise.
Forest2Market
Forest2Market is a leader in global wood and fiber supply chains, so it was only fitting to accentuate their expertise with a tree-inspired design element.
Kingdom Cares
When designing the logo for this basketball outreach program, we used the initial K to mimic the lines on a basketball, creating a modern and personalized design element.

The dentists at Pappert and Kirk asked us to reimage a logo that was more dynamic and personable but that also used their existing brand colors.
