CLIENT — CANON U.S.A., INC.
Canon wanted a name that was short, memorable and personable. If you have ever been involved with naming a product, you know how difficult this can be. We came up with several options we thought were perfect, only to have them rejected. Either the name had been used in a similar category or it couldn’t be cleared for use worldwide. We came up with brand names in several different categories such as words that connoted small, such as Pixie or Sprite; speed like Dash or Zing, or photos like Snap or HipShot. We settled on giving the product a personality with a real name such as Zoe or Chloe. After much back and forth, we settled on IVY. It gave the product a personality, it was short and simple to pronounce.

JDA retooled the identity and increased its prominence in their marketing strategy.
CLIENT — PIONEER ELECTRONICS USA
JDA named this product and created the unique brand identity. The concept was to design packaging for the MusiQube, a new cube-shaped audio system.

Utilizing a cube-shaped font and musical note as the tail of the “Q” conveyed the unique attributes of the product.
CLIENT — WICKED ’WICHES
A former JDA employee got the entrepreneurial bug, and started her own sandwich shop and catering company.

Second, the video needed to outline the advanced technology and benefits.

CLIENT — Various
CLIENT — CANON U.S.A., INC.
The product itself is small at only 4.7" x 3.2" and the prints are 2" x 3" It is difficult to come up with an impactful package design that won’t take up much space on the shelf.
The package design incorporates a diagonal color background that highlights the color of the product — mint green, rose gold and slate gray with the product sitting on top for visual impact. We also came up with the tagline “Your New Best Friend” to play off the personality of the name.
One of the biggest challenges was boiling down the messaging so that we could fit two languages on the package. Not everything needed to be translated, but it was a challenge to create the right balance.

CLIENT — CANON U.S.A., INC.
The Canon camera division came to us with a challenging POP project — create a countertop display that clearly demonstrates the Vari-Angle feature of the camera. The Vari-Angle 270° rotation feature allows the photographer to shoot at high angles, low angles, as well as portrait shots where the user can place themselves in the shot. We determined that actually showing the feature in action was the best solution. We showed an image of the camera at actual size with the LCD in the open position that is attached to a motor and mimics the true action of the camera. Not only does this moving element attract attention to the POP but also it shows how the feature actually works.
