THE ALFRED / UPSTAIRS – Hotel Bar and Restaurant

Casey Maher — Fri, 20 May 2011 17:13:11 +0000

I recently did the branding for The Alfred and Upstairs, the restaurant and bar for the Kimberly Hotel in NYC. I created this single business card to work for both venues. I used the ornate designs hidden on the US one dollar bill as inspiration for the drawings and made a custom wallpaper (shown on the inside of the card) from them. Its always tricky to house two businesses on one card but I used it to my advantage in this case.

MAISON PREMIERE

Maison Premier is a new oyster and absinthe house reflective of old hotel lobbies, and oyster houses from the 1890′s in New York, Paris and New Orleans. We branded Maison Premiere completely, starting with the logo and meticulously designing everything down to the “CPR kit located under the bar” sign. Every font, every graphic, every color is true to the era and handmade by either myself or my team. We hand drew fonts, old coins, frames, and just about everything.The guys at MP were fantastic as they totally understood the power of solid and complete branding so we had the opportunity to design just about everything you can imagine. CLICK HERE to check out the website we did — the smooth transitions and sweet little map are my favorite parts. Or click the image above and see the business cards, menus, postcards, etc. I’m an absolute nut about fine food so as you can imagine if I eat one more oyster I think i’m going to grow a shell but you should not miss an opportunity to eat here. It’s a treasure.

TEMPELHOF BROADCAST

This project is really beyond my wildest dreams- it is a public art project/musical composition involving 600 musicians. I designed a logo, identity system, website, advertising and poster for “Tempelhof Broadcast.” I also art directed a very cool motion graphic animation and movie titles for the short film on the site and there are many more pieces to come. Click here to check out the site we just launched and see the little movie or the image above to see the poster and some web pages. You’ll want to read more about this project –I promise. Lisa Bielawa is an absolute genius so Im pretty proud to be working on this.

“Tempelhof Broadcast” brings together hundreds of musicians in a large-scale spatial acoustic musical celebration in and about Tempelhofer Park in Berlin, composed by American composer Lisa Bielawa.The 60-minute piece will be composed expressly for performance on the tarmac of the former Tempelhof Airport.

VENTES PRIVÉES

I just created this logo and identity system for Ventes Privées. VP is the super luxe division of De Beers diamonds. They sell very very rare gems to a super chic clientele. This was a really exciting project as it was really fun to create a modern diamond graphic. The website will be launching so, so in the meantime check out some of the pages and the identity system.

Here is a new project that is currently in progress. Tim Saputo, who designs with me quite often, and I are creating and entirely new brand identity for this Williamsburg restaurant. We are in the process of doing a whole new identity package as well as a menu system, coasters. matchbooks (my fave- I have a huge collection of them). Here is a sneak peek. CHECK OUT how fun the kids menu is, there is a little “hidden” french elf!

León Ferrari Exhibition

Another super cool show that I worked on: invites, ads, banners, exhibition graphics!

Nick van Woert

I have just sent the one of coolest projects I’ve ever done to print. I know I say this ALL the time, but this time it was magic! It’s a exhibition catalogue/book for Yvon Lambert’s artist Nick Van Woert. Nick handed me a 1960′s manual from the US Military titled “EXPLOSIVES and DEMOLITIONS” and said to use it as inspiration for the design of this book. I mean if you know me even a little you know and this was a dream for me. This is just a small taste of the book, please let me show you the book in person, and while your waiting for us to meet carefully examine Nick’s site fourteensquarefeet.com He is absolutely brilliant and I’m quite proud to have worked with him.

NYCKED

I created this logo for Jules Kim and Lorenzo Martone’s new swimwear line Nycked. Not only is Lorenzo a blast to work with but the line is totally amazing from what I have seen. I’m in LOVE with super tightly tracked type right now.
