SBD agency wins two design awards!
No sooner did we change our name from Snow B Designs to SBD Agency (befitting our full-service agency capabilities) than we hear that not one, but two of our favorite projects were finalists for ThinkNW Cascadia Creative Awards! Are we just a little bit excited? Yes! Because we worked like a mother to create great, standout projects that deliver for our clients. And you know what? WE WON! We are happy to announce our wins for Best Logo Design and Best Magazine Design.
SILVER: Best Logo Design
NW Seismic
When Northwest Seismic first told us their story, we could tell that they were experts in the field of scientifically-based seismic retrofitting homes in our very seismically threatened Portland area. But we couldn’t see that in their logo, website, or collateral. We thought, it’s time to shake up a dormant brand. First we did qualitative Voice of the Customer research to hone our message. Then we created a brand and copy tone guide that fed into the design of their new logo and look, the website, and a new presentation that they could use for educational seminars. We’re proud that that we instilled a sense of urgency in their audience without resorting to fear-based tactics. NWS comes across as friendly experts—which is what they are.
BRONZE: Best Magazine Design
Iconic Magazine
We loved creating
Iconic Magazine for our client Arciform, a leading remodeler of period homes and buildings, not only because it gave us the chance to create an elegantly entertaining online mag, but because it’s a wonderful example of marketing without marketing. To its growing audience, Iconic is a fun read, full of beautiful photos of droolingly gorgeous remodeling projects and fun stories that humanize those projects. To Arciform, Iconic
is a platform to show off their beautiful design-build work without seeming like they’re selling, or even marketing.
Thank you ThinkNW for recognizing our work for NW Seismic and Arciform and for bringing together so many talented creatives to honor their work and give a focus to our immensely creative community. We're honored to be a part of it!
