We are redesigning colorcubic.com
About a month ago (around the same time we started moving into our new office) we decided it was time to change the look and feel of our site. Ever since we moved we’ve been trying to fit in what little free time we have to redesigning and developing our new site. So far everything is coming along great. We’re almost ready to start coding, but it’s going to take some time before it’s been tested and ready for a launch. Until then we decided that we would preview some of our new projects on our blog that we’ve been working on. Unfortunately we won’t be previewing everything, but there’s still enough to preview to give you an idea of what we have been busy with.
We thought it would be fun to start off with some of the brand concepts and designs we’ve had the pleasure of producing. We hope everyone enjoys them.
THE COMBI™
This is the first of 2 concepts we’ve produced for the Combi™, (a licensed product store in Australia). This project is really exciting to work on, and is still in the production stages.
With this first concept we produced, we really wanted to move in a “retro” direction. We were really inspired by mid 1970s John Deere Ads, and the early 1980s Intellivision gaming consul. Although not directly by the logos, we were more so influenced by that preconceived visual notion of what a “retro” logo should look like.
We still have another concept to deliver before a decision is made, and with this next concept we’re steering in a completely different direction.
Once we’re finished we’ll be sure to post it on here for preview.
COLIBRI COLLECTIVE™
This was a pretty fun project to work on. We produced this logo / icon for Colibri Collective™, (an electronic music collective in Germany). They provide a roster of many different producers in the electronic scene worldwide to preview and listen to.
When producing this we thought of unity, and wanted to produce an image that was timeless.
They liked it right off the bat, and they’ve already started using it on one of their social networking sites.

ROGUE SAMURAI FARM™
Rogue Samurai Farm™ is an umbrella / incubator company for product and service companies. I know that sounds very boring, but it’s far from it. The whole idea behind the name was to show that a company doesn’t need to operate in such a conventional manner where all of the workers are miserable, and the top dogs reap all of the benefits.
Rogue Samurai Farm™ operates in a completely different manner. It operates more like King Arthur’s round table, or a head with many arms, or in this case “tentacles.”
We chose the calamari as a symbol for multitasking / juggling, and equality as a whole. It represents a body of many making up one strong entity, where every limb is an asset to the company. Much like the Samurai in the Edo period, only they’re not asking anyone to commit sepuku, hence the “Rogue” in Rogue Samurai Farm™.
On top of being very motivational, this was a really fun concept to produce. It’s still in the approval stages, and we still have another to produce as well. We’ll be sure to post the chosen logo / icon when the votes are in.
Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed this first of many visual concepts to come.
Peace,
- m / Colorcubic™
