project brief

Our dedicated design team embarked on a journey to bring ShaLanna Watson's Doggy Bra brand to life. Inspired by a heartfelt encounter of a dog named Queenie and her litter of puppies, ShaLanna was moved to create a solution that would prioritize the health and comfort of female dogs. Our team brought this vision to life through logo, branding, packaging, and website design. Doggy Bra, approved by vets, prioritizes the well-being of female dogs. The simple and user-friendly branding and packaging reflect the product's innovation. The tagline, "Designed for your dog's health and comfort," emphasizes the commitment to canine care. Doggy Bra goes beyond a product; it represents the dedication to enhancing the lives of dogs and their owners.

Ptero Business Solutions

11/15/2023

Project Brief

"Make the Pterodactyl chubby" was the graceful wording given to our creative team. Ptero Business Solutions, a full-service, virtual bookkeeping firm, approached Ape Forge with the goal of revamping their digital presence to better reflect their no-fuss, efficient, and comprehensive bookkeeping services. Their objective was to appeal to busy entrepreneurs across America seeking reliable financial management without sacrificing equity.

Challenge:
The primary challenge was to encapsulate Ptero's ethos - “No Fuss Bookkeeping” - into a web design that resonates with the target audience: busy entrepreneurs and small business owners. The site needed to communicate Ptero’s role as a trusted financial partner, emphasizing their expertise in alleviating tax season stress and aiding business growth.

Our team also guided the Ptero team on developing their own website with our web editor. This kept their cost of service low and also educated them on how to manage their own website.

Bier & Cheese Collective

The Bier and Cheese Collective - Evolution

The Bier & Cheese Collective is an iconic Astoria, New York-based business that underwent an exciting rebranding project. Ape Forge had the honor of helping Rick and his team every step of the way, from crafting the perfect logo to creating the perfect brand assets.

Taking the necessary time to honor Astoria Bier & Cheese's legacy and create something new and fresh was of utmost importance throughout this process. Visit their stunning website, designed on the Square Online platform, by clicking www.bierandcheese.com.

From The Owner of the Bier & Cheese Collective

"We began our relationship with Ape Forge back in June of 2021. We were beginning the process of re-branding and needed a total makeover: New Logo, New Website, New Email Domain, Email migration etc. After 7 years, it was a huge project for us because we had held another identity for so long and were so well-known in the community. We had already experienced several frustrating challenges with our POS migration earlier that year, so to say we were a little apprehensive going in would be putting it mildly. I am so pleased to say that right from the very beginning, both Matt and ReBecca made me feel incredibly comfortable. The expenses associated with re-branding are enormous. However, the fee's for the work Ape Forge did for us, as important and frankly indispensable as it was, were very reasonable. Their punctuality and ability to stay on task are admirable. They also understood the enormity of the project from my perspective and always respected my time. The project was a labor of love and I was so pleased with the outcome. Some companies will perform work for you and once that job is complete, that's it, they'll move on. To this day, they've made themselves available to me whenever I've had questions or concerns. Matt has always been up front with where his expertise begins to wane, but that has never stopped him from searching for a solution to a vexing issue, and with my project, there were many. Matt and ReBecca are also very, very nice people who take the time to get to know a little about their clients which is an attribute that is sorely lacking these days. I cannot recommend Ape Forge highly enough and look forward to a long relationship with them." - Rick White
