Dodge Construction Network

Dodge Construction Network, or simply DCN, is one of the biggest resource for people working in the commercial construction industry. It offers data, analytics, insights and generates industry-spanning relationships between contractors. The DCN group is formed by the merge of four companies, each leading their area of expertise.
Our task was to name and develop the brand for the holding company and each sub brand, develop launch and long term strategy and to build the whole identities and expression system.

Spring Health

Spring Health was founded with a clear goal: to make mental healthcare accessible and beneficial for everyone, regardless of background or current situation. They achieve this by matching clients with qualified professionals who can provide personalized and effective solutions.
Our challenge was to create a unified brand identity that reflected the balance between expertise and warmth. The key was to bridge the gap between their data-driven, clinical approach and their desire to be approachable and empathetic. This would build trust with a wide range of potential clients.
Our solution was a brand system that evokes feelings of security, connection, and determination to move forward. The core concept is “precision with humanity,” which reflects Spring Health’s commitment to both effectiveness and compassion.
With a close collaboration with their internal team and the foundry Dalton Mag, we developed a custom wordmark and a symbol that captures the ideas of listening, growth and new beginnings.
We also developed detailed art direction guidelines, a versatile library of graphic components, and a carefully chosen color palette. These elements work together to communicate Spring Health’s honest and engaging brand story. This story openly addresses mental health and emphasizes its crucial role in overall well-being.

Munno

Munno is a small neighborhood restaurant in the Andersonville neighborhood of Chicago. It focuses on quality, innovation and at the same time respect for the tradition of old recipes.
The logo symbolized by a round shape, captures the meaning of the Italian dialect word munno, which stands for the world. It is made up of the typographic element munno and the graphic element of a broken circle. It is deliberately open, representing that the world is an open and free environment. With munno being a part of it, and acting as the connector for people from all parts of the world. Another interpretation is that the word munno represents the stage in an amphitheater where performers are surrounded by their supporters. Together having a harmonious time to gather, unite and connect disregarding any differences.
