By | Branding, Design
In the seed business, your logo and seed cap are your calling card. Midwest Seed Genetics knows this as well as anyone. After an eleven year absence from the market, Midwest Seed was back. And what started as a simple logo refresh from HenkinSchultz, not only became a certified seed hat hit – but a company wide rallying cry.

The diamonds represent plots of American farmland and the yellow symbolizes “the home 40.” Assembled together, they also resemble a horizontal...

Showplace: Building a National Brand

By | Branding, Design, Marketing
Showplace Cabinetry knows all about building things. As an employee owned company, they’ve become the 13th largest cabinet manufacturer in the United States.

Inspiration – It Comes from the Top

By | Creativity, Design

Inspired. It’s a way of looking at a piece of corrugated steel, a light bulb, a cement block or a blank wall and seeing the possibility.
