From Blank Slate to Brand-Ready
Joey runs a landscaping and outdoor contracting business in New Jersey. While this is his own venture, he comes from a family with deep roots in the local tradesâand a name folks in town already recognize.
Thatâs why the visual identity needed to strike a balance: something that felt solid and familiar, but clearly distinct from what came before.
Design That Honors His RootsâWithout Staying Stuck There
I created a look that blends tradition and forward momentum, pairing a classic serif font (Garamond) with a clean sans serif (Open Sans) to strike a balance between old-school trust and modern clarity.
The color palette draws from the townâs official colors, adding a meaningful layer of connection to Joey’s local community.
To make ongoing use easy, I built everything in Canvaâa free platform he can use to update assets or download files anytime.

I delivered:
- Logo Variations: Multiple styles and color options for web, print, and signage
- Business Card Designs: Customizable with his info and insurance details
- Truck Decal Designs: High-contrast graphics for visibility on the road
- Brand Board: A one-stop reference for fonts, colors, and file access
To support the handoff, I also recorded a short video walkthrough showing Joey how to customize, edit, and use each asset with confidence.
Built to Grow With Him
This quick-turn project gave Joey everything he needed to hit the ground runningâwith a look that felt professional and familiar, yet entirely his own.
Now he has a brand identity that respects where he’s from, and supports where heâs going.
