WoodToyBox was a client which became another acquisition of Little Colorado's. They wanted a playful but muted logo that was easy to read in a number of applications with or without the graphic. I settled on a fun text shape with a cute teddy bear graphic. The website features fun typography and simplistic design, focused on drawing the customer's attention to the various toy boxes and chests they offer. Custom copy brand SEO accompanys the design elements, to really sell this product.
