For more than half of its run, @AmyDoesIt has created the graphics for Tonic Ball. After a couple years off, she returned to the fold for Year 20. Few fundraisers combine "fun" and "worthy" quite like this one. Get your tickets: tonicindy.com/

As we close in on year 4 (!) we finally carved out the time to update our LOGOS page. Lots of huggable Indy folks in this bunch. Lucky to call 'em clients and friends. matineecreative.com/work/log…

Was a joy to help our pals @JohnMainella and @michael_pettry develop a brand identity for their new nonprofit consulting startup. Check out what they're up to at CapeFletcher.com!

We feel this.
Among the (many) heartbreaks I witnessed when the pandemic started was the fact that the awesome @KanKanCinema was literally about to open — and then couldn't. So I was excited to write this! indystar.com/story/entertain…

Boy oh boy do we love @WildwoodMarket. Such an honor to help them with a brand identity overhaul, and so fun to finally see this merch in real life.

LOVED working with Rise House Fitness Studio (formerly Just Ride Indy) on a new brand identity. The spokes nod to its cycling roots. The phoenix-like icon sends a clear message about its mission and culture. Almost makes us wanna to do 100 burpees right now. Almost.

Last year, we developed a brand identity for the AMP, an artisan marketplace & food hall in the 16 Tech Innovation District. The pandemic threw a wrench into its timeline, but its oversized doors are opening VERY soon. Today, it was featured in NYT: nytimes.com/2021/05/11/busin…
Big thanks to @NewsomeNews and @WISH_TV for letting us spread the good word about our 'hood (@_FletcherPlace) & our people. #loveindy

The Matinee Creative studio is willing to help anyone’s brand whether it’s big or small. @NewsomeNews talked to the couple behind the advertising agency and creative team. bit.ly/2QdE2gN

What a privilege to work with @IndyMonthly (in collab with our developer pal Brian Deer) on a design refresh to its website. Also: Our resident part-time journo @MattGonzales has a story on the @Pacers on its homepage right now. Check it out here: indianapolismonthly.com/arts…

Designing the bicentennial issue of NOTE magazine gave us a chance to appreciate (and help celebrate) Indy's rich history as hotbed of music and creativity. Here's a quick preview!

We led design and content development for a brand-new magazine for the Fred S. Klipsch Educators College at Marian University. Here's the cover and a spread from the latest issue.

We helped Print Resources with a renaming/rebrand that reflected the leaps and bounds by which they've grown over the past 20 years. Meet @heytactive. They're amazing, and you should know about them.

Of all the brands we've helped create since launching Matinee 2.5 years ago, this one is especially close to our hearts. And we LOVE the illuminated sign. One day, the Kan-Kan will open its doors. And when it does, it will be LIT (*sorry*)

The Challenge: Develop a distinct real estate brand while honoring the brand of the parent agency. The Solution: You’re looking at it.

Flashback Friday!
In the summer of 2018, @AmyDoesIt talked with us about intention. This feels like the PERFECT time to revisit it. Watch here (spoiler: there are a lot of laughs in this one!): creativemornings.com/talks/a…
If you haven't already, go to localloveleague.com RIGHT NOW for a locally designed tee. All proceeds support Indianapolis service workers!

You can't go the @KanKanCinema just yet, but you can hoist one of these bad boys (available at @BlackAcreBrewer) while streaming movies that support the Kan-Kan. Go to kankanindy.com/on-demand to learn more!
