Sep 08 / Logo Design For A Start-Up Medical Spa

by Aaron Weiche

Five was recently lucky enough to be chosen to design the very first logo for a new business in the skincare industry here in the Twin Cites.  S.K.i.N Medical Spa became a reality this summer and we played a big part by designing their logo and website (more on the website in a later post).

Below are the logo concepts we designed to start the process:

With just a few minor tweaks to one of the logo concepts, we had ourselves a winner. Sometimes one of the concepts is just the right look, right off the bat.

Here is the final logo design  for S.K.i.N Medical Spa:

A company’s logo is so incredibly important in it’s branding, personality, perception, pride and tone.  Both S.K.i.N and Five couldn’t be happier with the final logo result.

Our web redesign aimed to capture the beauty of Wild Marsh and it’s surrounding nature, while making it easy for interested golfers to get all the golf course information they needed to make a tee time.

This web design project involved:

  • Custom web design
  • Built on the SMC for full content management
  • Online gift card purchase
  • Events calendar
  • Course photo gallery
  • Integrated weather feed for current & 5 day forecast
  • Printable golf web specials
  • Search engine optimization
  • Email marketing

We incorporated drop-down navigation for the website that displays both 2nd and 3rd level navigation to maximize the website’s usability.  The drop down menu is also customized with a background image involving elements of the Wild Marsh logo (bottom).

We have celebrated the release of the new Wild Marsh web design with a respectful golf clap in the Five Technology offices.  Twin Cities golfers looking for a great course at a great value will have to put this golf course on their list to play.

Jul 12 / Logo Design Project Goes Clean & Green

by Aaron Weiche

While our main focus at Five Technology is usually web related, we won’t turn away the opportunity for great creative work in other forms when asked.  Easiway Systems of Minnesota wanted us to design their new logo as they sought to align their brand with their trusted reputation, outstanding product line and then launch a new e-commerce website.

Over the last 20 years, EasiWay has grown to be a leader in the screen printing industry, making the most efficient and environmentally friendly screen cleaning and reclaiming products and solutions.  They desired a new look that was crisp, clean, had a water element and a touch of green.

Here are are initial logo design concepts:

EasiWay was impressed and excited with their design choices and it made narrowing down a few to explore difficult.  Through further discussion and ideas, one logo design concept was chosen to work from.  We then presented  a few versions and ultimately came up with a winner.

EasiWay’s new logo design:

The team at Easiway Systems was great to work with and we are now creating their new product labels as well as their e-commerce enabled website.  Stay tuned for the launch of the new website in the near future.
