Some of our favourite clients, the owners of the Village, asked us to help them create a secondary logo for their branding. They wanted something with no text that really spoke to the personality of the restaurant.
We opted to maintain the distressed look of the primary logo and map designs, as well as the vibrant burnt orange to keep a strong connection. A popular framed photograph of the owner’s bulldog in the restaurant quickly became a source of inspiration. But how do we make the leap from bulldog to breakfast you ask? Well obviously, the dog is hungry for their delicious benny’s too – and with the addition of a spoon in the dog’s mouth and bold patterns to create focus, a secondary logo was born.
You will see this graphic used more prominently in the new Village we are working on in Royal Oak, and the Village team already loves it so much that they are using it in all new graphics and their social media!
Check out the restaurant interior design project and what did for their branding and graphics design.

7070 Design Headquarters is a new studio that has just launched in Calgary, Alberta. It is a place designers can go to use the resource library, hold meetings, and even rent out office space. A shared work space for Calgary’s design community.
We were approached for our graphic design services by seventyseventy who were looking for something classic and sophisticated – yet adaptable, allowing designers with their own identities to fit right in. We went with a typographical solution that has an understated detail with the seemingly handwritten font – the final line entices your eye to follow it throughout the e-brochure, business card and website. The elegantly versatile aesthetic was carried through with an colour scheme of black, white and gold.
We just launched the seventyseventy website, check it out today at http://7070.ca to see what 7070 has to offer.

We’ve done it again! Y.A.M Magazine recently consulted Meade Design Group for the latest holiday decorating ideas – and the vertically endowed tree in our studio made the cover!
It was so much fun to have a shoot in our own studio – and who can resist the face on that adorable little French Bulldog, Luba! To prepare for it, we’ve had our tree up for over a month… Echito was very excited to get such a big head start on the holiday celebrations, and we are all now feeling the joy of the season!
This issue is out now, so if you live in Victoria, be sure to pick one up for yourself today!
