#happybirthday team Atlas! Today we have the hono

#happybirthday team Atlas!
Today we have the honor of celebrating 13 years in business. In some ways it feels like it's been ages and in others, just a blink of an eye.

We're not the best at slowing down to reflect on progress, but today it's humbling to see this business that Dean and I started out of our tiny apartment in South Asheville grow into something that has been able to reach so many. We get to do, what we do every day because of our amazingly talented crew of left and right brained humans–designers, developers, photographers, client managers, finance managers, and the list goes on. We are also so grateful to all of our clients and friends that have trusted us with collaborating on building their businesses through their brands. We love y'all!!!

Ok, so I'm officially extra cheesy now! Enjoy this little trip down memory lane. And also, we get to celebrate this birthday with one of our favorite people @dangrettadesign. Happy Birthday to you friend!

With love and gratitude,
Lisa, Dean and the Atlas crew

The gangs all here! Small Batch Series release for @gingersrev. They won't release the fig and vanilla until Nov. 18th so stay posted.

With this series, they wanted to make sure the design was quick to update for their seasonal needs so we mimicked their main branding and designed something with only a few sections that need to be altered or switched to so we can time it with the seasons.

Enjoying some pumpkin spice in our alcoholic ginger beer with this 4-pack design for @gingersrev.

The #packagingdesign for their Small Batch Series is a more refined, simplified approach to their packaging so we could turn the illustrations around quickly and streamline the series. It helps balance the very detailed nature of their flagship beers that feature unique band characters and patterns.

Blueberry biscuits... what's not to love?!? An additional SKU for Debbie Lou's Biscuits. It features a similar illustration inspired by vintage heirloom cookbook art with a few elements switched out.

This fall weather has got us craving some warm, buttery biscuits! Debbie Lou's Buttermilk Biscuits to be exact!

Today we're sharing some #packagingdesign for Debbie Lou's Buttermilk Biscuits out of Durham, NC. The bag features bright, colorful illustrations and the story about how the recipe came to be and was handed down for three generations.

The #candesign work we did for Edit Beer features

The #candesign work we did for Edit Beer features their first three flagship beers. In the theme of "edit" we rummaged several antique shops to find old Holiday and TIME magazines to cut out photo and edit our collage compositions. Collage isn't something we've seen done in brewery branding so we wanted to stand out a bit with this approach.

Each type of labelling or can artwork we plan to do will take on a new medium - we've explored TV with the growlers that we'll share later this week.

The #logodesigns were loosely inspired by Pink Pearl erasers.

Thanks to @highfivecoffee for providing the matcha to us for this shoot.

Thirteen years and four websites - Introducing Atlas 4.0. We wanted to practice what we preach and update the site to showcase newer work, intro video, expanded services and the specific industry niches we work with. It's been a fun labor of love the last few months by the crew.

Check it out if you get a chance. Email us if you find a typo. 😜 Also, full disclosure, we're still updating the portfolio, that part always takes the longest.

We'll also be doing an Atlas Made merch giveaway tomorrow so stay tuned!

Secondary marks and application for @enjoymagpies.

I (Lisa) sometimes daydream that if I wasn’t working at a design studio, I’d totally be fulfilling a lifelong bucket list of baking hand pies out of a food truck. Currently, I am living vicariously through Aarthi and Addy (mother-daughter baking duo) of @enjoymagpies as they grow their Mini Magic Pies business in Charlotte, NC. Words can not describe how excited we were to get the opportunity to work with these two!

The meaning of the word “pie” comes from magpies. Magpies are known to collect many small and often shiny objects for their nests. This is likened to the many ingredients inside a pie—from meats and veggies, to fruit and chocolate.

This #brandidentity concept looks past the traditional pie aesthetic and hones in on the fun of pie with youthful vibrance and joy. The funky type, and the cut out shapes in the pie wings are lively and active… little hits to the magic of making pies, and maybe even a Harry Potter reference in there too.

Reflections of past and present. What was once the Biltmore Industries space for all things woodworking and textiles, is now a helmed by the teams of @pulpandsprout_avl and the beloved #overeasycafe for a delicious menu served morning, noon and night.

We had the pleasure of working with this talented team to collaborate with them on naming, branding, signage design, website, interior design consulting and event photography. We love y'all and are so excited for your opening this week. Cheers @eldravl!

Happy #friyay! Today we’re sharing some of the fun branding and signage design we saw through out our time in Edinburgh, Scotland. There’s a lot of sweet Wes Anderson moments to the colors of the buildings, and much thought given to the typography.

Leith had some really beautifully painted buildings and window graphics. Victoria St. also boasted of detailed, vintage, and gold foiled window art. The city is definitely not afraid to use color.

A few fun #designinspo highlights from our time in

A few fun #designinspo highlights from our time in London. One of the things we loved about London’s local brands was the humor and irreverence many of the brands had, specifically in naming. We loved seeing some of the names of the businesses - Slug & Lettuce, Sleazy Pizza, Sweaty Betty’s (exercise clothing), Shrine to the Vine, and American Car Wash just to list a few.

We also noticed a lot of dimensional signage - really creative displays with signs that spin in the wind, walls of different colored boxing gloves for a boxing gym, businesses turning their signage into extensions of their brands and creative installations.
