MKM Design is a Floral Design company that serves the Hudson Valley and beyond from their studio in NYC. Known for curating and perfecting every single arrangement, MKM Design's work adds a natural touch of ambience to the scenery. Looking to elevate the brand with the goal of attracting her dream clients, Megan knew a #CeciBrandMakeover was the best next step. Our design team wanted to outfit MKM Design with a brand that feels timeless, allowing opportunity to expand outside the floral design service, which was one very important requirement for Megan. She knew that would be an option she wanted later down the road, to expand and serve her clientele in other ways. Their new branding is an accurate reflection of the brand's high caliber work, communicating a sophisticated level of luxury. The balance of bold lines and delicate twists give a chic and elegant look.

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!

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.

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.

Christine Lawrence is a family-owned business that creates custom luxury upholstery, drapery, and furniture, who came to Ceci New York for a refreshed logo to modernize and upgrade their company's look. They loved the idea of an abstract logo mark which allowed us to play with all of the different elements that go into upholstery and interiors. We landed on a refined mark that was inspired by fabric swatches layered on top of each other, and paired it with a typographic treatment that included a stitch-like element to make it unique.

KA Mariage is an international event planning company, specializing in weddings and corporate events. After establishing her company in the Quebec, Montreal market to great success, the client came to Ceci New York looking to refine her current brand into feeling more corporate and luxe, as well as help position her company to be open to the US market as well. Rose gold was selected as the main brand color, to give the logo a feminine edge, and it was paired with a light gray color for a soft, neutral look.

Have a Seat is an established Event & Floral Design company with a longstanding, successful event rental business based in Canada, who came to Ceci New York looking for a brand refresh! Their company had been using the same logo for many years, and had tried evolving it on their own in order to give themselves a brand update. However, they felt the look of their branding was starting to feel a bit disjointed and inconsistent. Ceci New York first focused on the primary goals of their business, in order to successfully position them within their market and spearhead their logo design in the right direction. Ultimately, the event rentals side of the business emerged as the clear focal point, so Ceci New York focused on developing a brand mark that captured this side of their business in a sophisticated way. By playing with the various shapes of the rental chairs the company was known for, a new mark was created that is meant to be evocative of those shapes in an abstract, luxe way. The cross of the "H" in the center of the mark is also evocative of the seat of a chair, playing off of the double meaning in their name, as well as the shapes in the mark itself.
