Neon colors can provide a delicious point of focus when used carefully and with taste, such as in the case of the Salt + Seed business cards, where the two-sided cards provide a great contrast between ink and colored paper.

We approached branding ourselves the same way that we approach our work; with a sense of lightness and care. We sought to make a mark that could grow and change in tandem with our studio. One our main challenges was that our spot color is too neon to be printed digitally. Therefore we chose to silkscreen, which allowed us the license to change and monitor our colors carefully. Thinking back, we really did give ourselves a very short timeline to work with. Advice we wish we were given? Looking in on yourself is far more difficult than working for others.
