BRAND new in 2020.
New Year's resolutions don't have to wait until January 1. I wanted to get out ahead of things this year and address something that I've been meaning to do for years. I spend countless months guiding my clients on the importance of a logo that reflects their brand and establishing brand identity all the while ignoring my own advice. I've had the same logo for years, and yes I've incorporated the Map Chick element into my branding for maps, but nothing has really changed. Over the years, Jeremy and I have talked, I've met with close friends and marketing consultants, but never felt sure of what I wanted to do with my brand. However, over the past few weeks, all of those meetings and brainstorming sessions have paid off; I finally feel I have a design that reflects my designs, my clientele, and where I want to take CW Designs into the future.
I decided to go with a simple design focused on my initials because a signature is a peek into something unique about that person. A signature is something personal and something that represents who we are. I remember looking at my mom scribble her initials on her artwork – the significance is not lost on me – and practicing my own on scraps of paper torn from a notebook. I wanted my brand to be unique, intimate, and timeless, so that's why the colors I chose are classic as well.
I am so excited to be rolling this out over the next few months and starting the new year with a brand identity that truly reflects CW Designs and the quality my clients have always received. Here's to hitting the ground truly running in 2020.
Dani & Devin's Art Deco Wedding
Dani and Delvin’s Art Deco Wedding
I met Dani last year at the McKinney Bridal show with her bridesmaid and friends. We hit it off immediately, especially when she shared how fond she was of art deco. She fell in love with my “Gatsby” themed invitation suite and over the following months we worked on personalizing everything to make it something unique. We’ve become friends and I Iove her spunky personality and big heart. These photo’s she sent along are so beautiful, and made all the more stunning by how beautiful she is.
The Art of Living Beautifully Feature!
In an effort to meet the social media and branding needs of our client’s, a few months back we began offering animated maps. In this short time, we’ve seen developers and real estate agents use them to highlight new properties and couples share their wedding locations. The great thing about these maps is that they can be shared across all social media platforms and the engagement is a lot higher vs a standard image. Our goal is to energize your audience and to encourage interaction with your social media posts; that’s why we make sure your branding (we help with that too BTW) and look is captured in all our creations. We were included in the latest issue of The Art of Living Beautifully, a magazine dedicated to style, culture, and the history of McKinney, Texas. Lauren, the founder of the magazine, has a special publication dedicated to style, culture, beauty tips, cooking, and personal development. Her magazine has something for everyone! Check out the latest issue below and to see our new ANIMATED MAPS embedded in the magazine! How cool is that?

Malibu Wedding • Jessica & Aaron
We branded this entire wedding in beautiful pastel colors meant to reflect the gorgeous surroundings of Malibu. From a full invitation suite with map to can coolers and signature cocktail signage we customized everything for this celebration. Every element had a purpose meant to guild the guests and entice them as to what was to come.
Turns out Jessica and I have a little more in common! Now follow me here people, Jessica’s father is former professional golfer, Lanny Wadkins, who played in numerous British Opens in the 80’s! He played in the 1987 British Open that I attended with my brother and mom! I remember cheering on all the American and Scotish players (as I’m half Scottish, you know!) while there and having such a great time. Jessica was also there that same year cheering on her dad! While this years Open in in Northern Ireland, it is still just as beautiful as the Open Events I attended in Scotland.
One day soon we will bring our children to Scotland, hopefully during the British Open, to show them a beautiful country and my aunts and uncles that I miss so much.
