Brand Logo Poster Showcase

With all the well-recognized brand identities that Oakley Design has created over the years, it was only a matter of time before a series of brand logo posters would follow. Over the last 17 years, more than 200-brand identity marks have been created by Tim Oakley.

This poster, the first in a six poster series, showcases Tim's work that focuses on type formation (as opposed to iconic). Clients featured include: Stuff, Oregon 529, Metro Computerworks, Ray Charles, BlackSpirit, SAUCE, and ThinkAV.

Oakley Design believes that every logo should be able to "work" in a single color. To prove this, each poster will be printed in black & white and on blueprint stock to show the power of a single color. (Actual poster size: 23” x 36”.)

To obtain these limited edition posters, or to add yourself to our mailing list to receive this poster or another one of our complimentary design samples, email us at: posters{at}oakleydesign.com.

Not Dead Yet - The Movie

Oakley Design Worldwide recently designed and produced the promotional materials for the upcoming feature film Not Dead Yet. Materials created include: teaser and main theater posters, promotional pak, press release booklet, crew shirt, festival postcards, master logo, and much more.

Not Dead Yet is the story of three actresses that have "hit the unemployable wall" and crave that one last acting job that will prove to themselves and their audience that they have what it takes to make it in an industry that caters to young actresses.

As part of the story, Director Sam Hull and producer Susan Hess Logeias wanted a uniform design element to tie in with the film. In this case, the Kombucha jar became the perfect spokesitem. (Kombucha is a sweetened tea or tisane that has been fermented using a macroscopic solid mass of microorganisms called a "kombucha colony".)

It is also the common thread to all three actresses. The challenge was to take something so brownish & dirty in color, and make it beautiful to look at. We decided to use the jar shape and the color of the liquid to our advantage, and put it against a blue, green, and soft yellow blurred background. The final touch to the overall image was adding a simple backyard daisy to the mix - which also ties into the end of the film.

Not Dead Yet is currently being shown at film festivals and will make its theater debut sometime in the fall of 2009.
