Rebranding MINING.COM

Rebranding Mining.com

From Brand Sprint to product launch, dive in to the processes and design methodology I used to create the MINING.COM brand in 2019.

Rebel Cels

Rebel Cels is a Star Wars podcast specifically covering animated Star Wars content, hosted by Michael J. Cohen (oh wait, that’s me). You’re going to see a lot of my podcast brands in this portfolio, because honestly, I’m pretty proud of them. And this one is hot off the presses and making its debut here […]

Whims + Violet

Whims + Violet is a womenswear retailer focused on sustainability. Its owner, Steph, wanted something modern and subtle, allowing the product to take center stage. The logo is a simple wordmark, and the colours are soft and muted. The full palette includes earthy greens and browns, and it was a particular challenge finding a purple […]

ThunderQuack

ThunderQuack is a network of creator owned podcasts covering pop culture topics across media. This brand initially started as a simple parent brand to the podcasts, but has taken on its own identity since 2019. The latest iteration of the logo is from 2022, and represents a subtle refinement of the visual identity, giving the […]

Force Perspectives

Force Perspectives is a Star Wars podcast covering movies, tv shows, and general nonsense from A Galaxy Far, Far Away, hosted by Michael J. Cohen (oh wait, that’s me).

Crystal Cohen, Personal Brand

Full disclosure; this brand belongs to my wife. She works as a behaviour analyst, specifically with children with autism. I wanted something colourful and energetic to match her vibe, and we came up with this fun ice cream motif. Not only is it fun to look at (boy, I could go for a waffle cone […]

Carrver Creations

Carrver Creations is a chainsaw sculpting service in Calgary, run by the incredible artist, Mike Carr. Mike works in the film and television industry on creature effects and set sculpture, among other things. He also leverages those skills to sculpt some pretty awesome art, often with nothing more than a chunk of wood and his […]

Kiss My Glass

Fun projects like this one don’t come along often, so you have to relish them when they do. Kiss My Glass is a window cleaning service in the Fraser Valley, and it’s owner, Curtis Godoy, wanted a logo that matched the cheeky name. We went through several iterations on this one, and landed on something […]

Costmine Intelligence

The final brand I built as a part of The Northern Miner Group, Costmine Intelligence was a particularly interesting challenge. The goal was to bring together the Costmine and Mining Intelligence brands under a new banner, but maintaining the recognition that both existing brands had already established. Learn more about the process of creating this […]
