We are thrilled to design this red carpet-cinema themed invitation for amfAR as they celebrate the 30th edition of this legendary event in Cannes, supporting breakthrough research that paves the way to a cure for AIDS.

Inspired by old Hollywood glam and vintage cinema, we’ve transformed the red carpet into a sleek, modern invitation. Presented in a luxurious ruby velvet box, this design highlights the great work they’ve been doing over the years and sets the stage for a truly magical evening for a great cause.

Petal Productions is a luxury floral design and event production company committed to crafting inspiring, stress-free events. After significantly growing their business within the last decade, they sought our expertise to refresh their branding to match their new company image.

Sketches from our design process behind the scenes.

We also crafted three versatile patterns to elevate their brand across various applications. Each pattern brings its own unique charm, ensuring a cohesive and captivating brand experience.

Our client Maria Caruso Martin is the founder and creative director behind the Bella Rosa Collection of bespoke Italian luxury clutches, handbags, and heirloom wedding gifts. When Maria came to us, she was interested in modernizing and elevating her brand design to expand her business potential further into the wholesale luxury evening bag space requesting a new logo and distinct mark.

Through an extensive development into the origins of the collection's name, we began by first creating floral elements and ornate designs to reflect the 100 year old heritage of the brand with a cameo design. After working closely with the client and further developing the logo style with a less decorative font, however, we ended up focusing the mark on the B and the R of the company's name, creating an intertwined lock-up of the letters, which, at quick glance, creates a jewelry patterned that truly complemented the designer bag's modern and elegant aesthetic.

Nadia Duran Events is a luxury event design company that specializes in creating elegant and sophisticated experiences for its clients. They approached Ceci New York seeking a refined and modern logo to elevate their brand's look. The company was interested in a sleek mark that incorporated the two initials "N" and "D". After careful consideration, we settled on a refined mark that was inspired by the interplay of different strokes. We paired it with an elegant serif font in gold to make it stand out.

Palm Beach Design Masters is a uniquely collaborative interior design business with a focus on real estate projects in the luxury Palm Beach market. 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. The goal was to ensure that both brands felt like they were related, but not the exact same.

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.

Classic Events is an established wedding and event planning business based in New York City, specializing in New York City weddings. Danielle Elder, the founder of the business, was looking for a way to refresh her brand's look, while simultaneously renaming the company to put less emphasis on her name. By swapping the hierarchy of her name and her business name within the brand's logo, and updating the brand mark to reflect the modern but classic flair Danielle is widely known for, Ceci New York successfully repositioned the business to reflect their more established standing in the New York City event planning world!

The logo mark knocked out of a circle is perfect for smaller applications where text would be too tiny to read.

Alejandra Poupel is known for her elegant, luxurious events, and needed business cards that embodied that spirit. The front of her business cards keep it classy and professional with taupe letterpress on luxe white paper. We love the bright orange in her brand color palette and decided the back of the card should be this pop of color, with her logo stamped in gold foil on top. The cards were finished with a gold foiled edge.

Her notecard includes her logo in taupe letterpress and a bright orange tinted edge for a pop of color.

Juvelan is a bespoke jewelry brand based in Germany specializing in luxury, handcrafted bridal jewelry. The client came to Ceci New York looking for a brand refresh, as they are currently expanding their line to incorporate everyday pieces along with their bridal-focused offerings. They had created a logo very quickly as they initially launched their brand, and were looking for a new brand that felt more polished and sophisticated! The final mark paired two "J's" representing the brand name, as well as the two company founders, and is evocative of a link in a jewelry chain.
