Alago Events is a premier event planning and production company renowned for its bespoke event experiences. Founded by Mandy Lago in 2005, the company draws from her rich experience in London and New York, as well as her deep Mallorquin heritage, infusing each event with a distinctive personal touch. As the company has grown and evolved to become a leader in Mallorca's luxury events and weddings industry, they turned to Ceci New York for a refined brand image.

The brand's Palm Beach boutique offers additional branded elements and touch points, designed by Ceci New York. With the Palm Beach Design Masters brand, Ceci New York was tasked with creating the new brand's visual identity, while maintaining a cohesive look and feel with the company's existing brand, Detail Interiors.

Social Roost is a cool and casual full service restaurant and bar specializing in a variety of chicken dishes in St. Petersburg, Florida. It was important to have a highly stylized and creative logo that not only stood out as playful and trendy, but that could be utilized throughout the restaurant decor and branded collateral. We created a chic geometric logo mark that features a rooster face in an unexpected, sophisticated way. Emerald green jewel tones and gold metallic were an easy choice to help create a posh yet inviting atmosphere.

Branding and logo design for Opulent Petals, a bespoke floral design company based in South Africa. The client came to Ceci New York looking for an elegant logo for her new business that also represented her personality and the unique look of her floral arrangements, which oftentimes used rare and beautiful florals. Our goal was to find a way to represent that uniqueness within the brand's visual identity, and what emerged was the "dancing flower" logo mark – based on a real flower, this mark was sketched + designed to loosely resemble a dancing figure and flower in one.

Marcy Blum is a leading force in the events industry, and needed a logo that fully represented her and her creativity, as well as her years of experience in the industry. To fully give focus to her name, we created a type-driven logo and explored how the letters dance across the page and interact with each other, which is also evocative of dancing at one of Marcy's fabulous parties and events! We chose a classic font that has a chic, timeless feel to it. Since Marcy herself is never afraid to stand out, we chose the bold brand colors of aquamarine, merlot, and coral to accent with gold foil stamping.
