Project: Logotype
Client: Daniel Talsky

Glitschka Studios works with a lot of larger agencies and their multi-national clientele. That said we also enjoy focusing our creative energy on smaller yet equally challenging local clients as well.

One of these smaller clients is Daniel Talsky. By day Daniel is a web developer and by night he’s a rapper going by the persona of Anvil Esquire. He takes his music seriously, but he still likes to have fun with it as well. Hence his moniker is a paradox of absurdity.

Like any creative attempting to get something off the ground his budget was razor thin. Since the real color in terms of his performance is his music we decided to keep his graphics purposefully minimal. We developed a nice brand system he can use in a multitude of ways to help him promote his music and events moving forward at a very reasonable cost.

Tired of the visual tune your identity is singing? We can help.

Glitschka Studios thrives on creative collaboration with ad agencies and design firms. Portland based firm Gere Donovan Creative called on us to create a new brand character for their client who was producing a new salmon based snack food for kids.

Yes, you read that right a salmon based snack food. Specifically salmon from the Kuskokwim river in Alaska. Hence the brand name Kusko, which we designed a custom logotype for. We also designed a kid friendly Kodiak bear eager to eat some salmon snacks.

What ever type of project our clients bring to us, we strive to produce appropriate creative work that meets their specific needs no matter how peculiar the request may be.

Project: Non-Profit Identity
Client: Rebel Church
Art Director: George Cuevas

Many times Glitschka Studios is hired by our clients to do exploratory work. Developing and fleshing out concepts in order to help them define a direction, in this case an identity. An art director who works for a church in Florida had us explore a custom logo type solution that would reflect the new name of another ministry they were starting called Rebel Church.

The thought behind our solution was simple, if you’re going to call yourself a rebel than you can’t play it safe. After all Jesus was the ultimate rebel, He spoke frankly to those around Him, didn’t back down, and was nailed to a cross to forever make His point clear. So we felt obligated to produce a design solution that wouldn’t look like any other Church logo out there. A rebel with a cause if you will.

We realized the risk in our approach but felt it was warranted. When our design concept was presented however it was eventually crucified by committee and cast asunder into graphic purgatory. That said, we forgive them because we think it’s pretty righteous.

When a multi-national ad agency like Ogilvy needs to leverage an appropriate style for an ad campaign, they call on Glitschka Studios to deliver on target creative solutions.

We created a set of linear line illustrations to reinforce the concept of “Freedom of Speech” a new campaign Ogilvy developed for Australia’s largest telecommunications company Telstra.

The illustrations were used in print collateral and animated for TV spots. When you need to draw conclusion on your next project you know who to call.

As a creative hired gun, Glitschka Studios does a lot of collaborative exploratory work for other agencies and design firms. Denver based Barnhart called on us to create a new brand character for a pitch they were developing for their client Tommy Knocker Brewery.

A character development like this represents an entire company and a product line, so the process can become long and drawn out. Often the focus moves off the bigger brand picture and gets bogged down in the minutia.

When a project languishes like this, the design may never be used and is almost always shelved.

Regardless of that reality, we’re happy with the work we provided in this creative partnership and think Barnhart did a great job implementing the character into the overall brand development.

Client: Bon Mangez
Art Director: Dickie Adams

An entrepreneurial client contacted Glitschka Studios about developing a new approach to syndicated food journalism. We love to cook up original creative recipes so we put on our conceptual chef hats and got to work.

We first developed a character called “Bon Mangez.” The name is French, “Bon” meaning “Good” and “Mangez” meaning “Eat.” Bon is a snarky but fair food critic personality the public will enjoy, and serves as a syndicated platform that localized writers can license and use to do restaurant reviews for print or online.

We also designed a fun and unique approach to the rating system, mustaches. And the hierarchy follows the guidelines set forth by the Association of Food Journalists.

Project: Non-Profit Identity
Client: Tapestry Church
Art Director: Austin Powell

Glitschka Studios services aren’t limited to mere commerce driven businesses. We enjoy working with non-profits to provide design and marketing solutions that will help them reach their goals as well.

Tapestry Church is a progressive ministry that understands the culture they exist in and needed a new identity that would reflect their core principles better.

With each project we define an appropriate visual aesthetic that fits the client. Tapestry Church wanted to get away from the old stodgy visual past and move into a new clean and modern future with their identity. We accomplished this while still accurately reflecting their purpose statement derived from a Bible verse that says:

“I want you woven into a tapestry of love, in touch with everything there is to know of God.”

Our client was so happy with their new branding that they asked us to design another new identity for a separate ministry called “Kiddie Garden PreSchool” as well.

Whether you’re a commercial business or a small non-profit we can equip your vision so you can succeed.
