We’ll continue to feature some of this year’s most noteworthy Hermes Creative Awards entries throughout the competition. 

Organization: DMi Partners Location: Philadelphia, PA Title of Entry: “Rastelli’s Logo – Knife Rack” Category: Print Media | Design | 48. Logo

A logo is more than just a branding icon. It’s an image that has the power to immediately make a statement and announces who you are to the world. Because of brevity and visual challenges, creating a classic logo is tricky. Some companies use flourishing scripts and colorful swoops and swooshes, and others try with clever letters playing-off of the company name. Rastelli’s, a direct to consumer online butcher shop routed in family history, is not a Coca-Cola or Mercedes, but its logo is just as memorable. DMi Partners of Philadelphia crafted a logo that is eye-catching, creative, and deadly accurate; it nails the business with simple black and white sketches of animals comprised of carving knives.
