Introducing the FEW Spirits limited edition wooden display crate. So limited that there are only three in existence!

Commissioned to hold the first four releases from FEW Spirits, this custom, handcrafted tenement box is made out of reclaimed “old-growth” timber deconstructed from a Chicago structure originally built in the late 19th Century.

Michael Pendleton of MP Custom Made constructed this beaut of a box for us, featuring old skool finger joints, felt-lined bottle cradles, laser engraved slide top, and silk-screened artwork on the inside. A befitting container for our precious FEW.

FEW Spirits is a craft distillery, located in Evanston, Illinois just north of Chicago, which offers premium small-batch spirits made entirely on-premises from grain to bottle. In order to bring their product to market, FEW relied on our expertise and vision to design a brand & label that was worthy of their handcrafted liquors.

Featuring commissioned illustrations by artist, Donovan Foote, our brand concept harkened back to an era that displayed the gumption and can-do attitude that not only placed Chicago on the world’s stage in 1893, but also the tenacity that made FEW Spirits the first legal distillery in Evanston. Applied by hand, every individually numbered and signed bottle is a one-of-a-kind artifact designed to be treasured long after its contents are gone.

Currently available in four varieties, FEW Spirits will be expanding their line with more of our beautifully designed labels soon. Enjoy.

After launching Chicago Area Pediatricians’ new website (featuring the branding we developed for them) we designed some collateral pieces to match their new look.

The word cute doesn’t begin to describe their updated image… this brand is downright adorable!

Utilizing a square-flapped No.10 envelope from French Paper Co., we complimented the playful attitude we designed on their letterhead with a touch of professional elegance. Plus, you can’t go wrong using a color named Sour Apple.

For those instances that don’t require a formal letter, we designed a simple patient-reminder postcard that evoked brand consistency. They were designed to be instantly recognizable as correspondence from Chicago Area Pediatricians… and adorable. Enjoy the designs below and don’t forget to check out their website, www.chicagoareapeds.com

We’re all familiar with HomeMade Pizza Co.’s delicious line of freshly prepared, all-natural “we make it, you bake it” pizzas. But did you know that they can cater your event, too? Now with their new catering trailer and mobile ovens, hot & fresh HomeMade Pizza Co. pizza can now be expertly prepared and served at your next get-together. 

We helped them with the launch of HomeMade Catering with an awareness campaign that included store signage and take-home fliers to introduce and inform customers of this new service. 

Wilburn Thomas also helped get the word out to potential new customers by joining them at Evanston’s Ethnic Arts Festival with branded festival menu boards that they used throughout the festival season to introduce their new catering service. Now, HomeMade Pizza brings the heat by making it and baking it.
