Friendly Press for King's Sandwich Shop

At the corner of Foster and Geer Streets just north of downtown Durham, North Carolina, you will find an unassuming cinderblock shed with red awnings and a Coca-Cola sign at least 50 years old. This is King's Sandwich Shop. Approaching its 75th anniversary, News & Observer ran an article on their latest venture: King's Mobile.

I was fortunate enough to meet the owner of King's on one of my many walks to get a shrimp po boy with tater tots and fried okra, ( health shop they are not) and began working with him on a rebrand soon after. In addition to a new logo and identity system, a primary focus was on rolling out the #kingstream: a renovated airstream trailer that functions as the second location, as well as a catering vehicle and special event-mobile.

As the new work is rolled out I'll be updating the portfolio. For now, if you're ever in Durham, be sure to swing by and try a Cack-A-Lacky King or spicy black bean veggie burger.

Work Update Review - March 2016

In an effort to bring this portfolio somewhat up to date, last month saw three project additions to the website: all beer related, and all done with The Brandit. They are...

• TAPS Fishhouse & Brewery - Reminiscent of a grand old New Orleans or San Francisco brick warehouse, TAPS Fish House & Brewery in Brea Downtown has become a landmark in North Orange County. Inside, warm woods, hand crafted wrought iron and soaring ceilings create a feeling of upscale comfort. The restaurant offers a celebration of seafood and steaks, along with award-winning ales and lagers handcrafted in the European tradition. TAPS has been a client of The Brandit for over a decade, during which time I designed an updated logo, website, and branding suite for their beer products.

• Funky Buddha Brewery - Funky Buddha Brewery was founded in 2010 in Boca Raton, Florida, and is committed to producing bold craft beers that marry culinary-inspired ingredients with time-honored technique. Their mantra is big, bold flavors, made exactingly with natural ingredients. Flagship beers such as Hop Gun IPA and Floridian Hefeweizen, also strive towards big, bold flavor. The outrageous packaging design and illustration matches Funky Buddha's bold personality.

• Red Dot Brewhouse - One of my favorite projects to work on since joining The Brandit, Red Dot Brewhouse is Singapore's first locally owned, independent commercial microbrewery. Working with Linda Fennimore for illustration was extremely rewarding, and stitching all the brand components together to build the final product design equally so.
