Tailwater Instruments Branding & Instrument Headstock Inlay
We had the chance to develop branding for Tailwater Instruments, a Colorado-based instrument company. Like many bluegrass musicians in Colorado, the Tailwater founders have a close connection to fly fishing in the state’s pristine mountain rivers. We developed a list of nearly 100 brand names related to Colorado, fly fishing, powder skiing, and more. The […]
Tailwater Instruments Website
Along with the branding, we developed a website for Tailwater Instruments. We photographed the Tailwater TW-F5 mandolin in a variety of locations, both on-site near fly fishing rivers, in music shops, and in a photography studio to achieve a wide variety of engaging visual elements. The resulting website helps a prospective owner understand more about […]

We took a mobile-first approach to the site to ensure that the website would look professional as well as load quickly. A clear and […]
Colorado BBQ Branding
We were approached by Highside Brewing to split off their BBQ business into a new brand. They were set on the name Colorado BBQ so we set out to build a brand identity that would match their vision. Part of their physical identity is to serve food out of a food truck (even though their […]
Highside Brewing Branding Refresh
Highside Brewing came to us in early 2021 for some graphic design guidance. They were beginning to ramp up their brewing production to expand distribution throughout the Front Range of Colorado. We worked on a number of 16 ounce tallboy can designs but also took the opportunity to refresh their brand identity. A refresh was […]
