CASE
STUDY
Need
Santa Cruz Pizza Company needed a logo for their restaurant in Scotts Valley that picked up on the local surfer culture in a surprisingly more sophisticated approach.
Solution
The client had said that they had taken the 2 letters "S" & "C" and created caligraphy drafts on their fogged bathroom mirror. That's all it took to get our creative juices flowing. Many hours of finding just the right "surfer dude" image made the imagery almost dreamlike and the look came together. Final logo was put on bz cards and promotional items. We had done another "potential" logo that was bought and used on t-shirts.
