Brian and Randy –
I posted these images to help with the branding and visuals you’re thinking about. Like any or none of them, they’re there as idea generators only. All vector art, each can be broken down into individual pieces, and since they’re vector, you can blow them up or shrink as you see fit.
You mentioned 80’s and 90’s retro style as being a possible direction for the branding and logo design. This first image is a Google screencap searching for “90’s popart.”
I have loads of those types of images you can choose from, as shown in the below pics:
An intentional ‘non-attention’ grabber designed for the repeat visitor.
More Landing Page Examples
Vintage signage font. Used for product tagging, site colors, item checkout, backgrounds, etc.
Clean, not too flashy, professional looking.
The distressed look is gaining popularity for its simple, elegant design. Reminiscent of faded and stone-washed blue jeans.
90’s locker-sticker look.
Notebook Doodles
Let me know if I’ve missed the mark, and by how far. We’ve had but a single Zoom meeting, and most of that time was spent on introductions, gaining each others’ trust, and connection finagling. I could be way off base here, or spot on. Also, if you get some time, feel free to send me any ‘look and feel’ links you like and why. I may have similarly styled images stored away somehwere.
