For Distillery Studio, an environmental design firm in Singapore, Felix Ng of Slint was brought in to help deploy their existing identity in a fresh and sophisticated manner. Felix explains:

With the challenge of retaining the complex logo and rethinking how Distillery wanted to be perceived by their target market, we needed to strip away elements that were cluttering the brand identity. The business card is designed by silkscreening a custom-mixed metallic bronze ink and PMS 491 U on 220 gsm New Raglin paper, Distillery's existing logo is applied as an accent using blind-emboss, allowing the details of the logo to be seen on both sides subtly.

At least in pictures, that copper looks simply delicious and it's amazing how much more engaging the logo feels embossed. All in all, a great business card to match the style of work at Distillery Studio.

Shane’s comment is:

The card as a whole really invites you to touch it...it's very physical.

Yeah I'm kinda regretting this whole screen based communication thing these examples need to be touched!

Also, really love the distillery as a name. almost perfect.

As soon as Apple figures out a touch-enhancing monitor we will add the necessary Javascript so that you can feel these pieces.

Daniel’s comment is:

Please tell what the exact blend of the bronze color was! (I guess it was based on a Pantone with tweaks to it.) Love it

Does anyone know where I could contact some of these Asian printers for prices? I have tried contacting the Distillery for advice as well as Kai Lian Private Limited. Any ideas?
