Project London This project started as an ask from a colleague to create a logo for her cycling team. At the time I had no idea I would be designing the logo for a team aiming for the Olympics. Rather then write my own explanation of the logo or work around the Project London identity, I will quote from the march team newsletter. “Jeremy Harrington was challenged to come up with the right logo that was to represent the soul of 5 young Americans, who have little in the way [...]
Scrubie Body Scruby The Scrubie team came to me in need of a logo as well as a modular expandable packaging system. Our goal was to use existing clear jars and create a label system that would accentuate the product, without stealing the spotlight from the natural color and texture of the product. The logo was the result of developing a graphic that evoked the feelings of the scent of the flowers or fruit blossoms one would associate with the product, as well as the shape and flow of the [...]

826 Valencia These pieces were the result of a project to promote an event for the 826 Valencia writing school. I had to stay within the larger visual language of the schools current identity while creating a language that appealed to lard day and also spoke to the identity of the 826 Valencia pirate store. I created a web page to promote the event, and display their unique collection of lard stories, as well as created simple affordable packaging for their lard giveaways.
Ksibah Dance Company Karima originally came to me wanting just a business card, and offering the challenge of designing for both an audience in Chicago and Marrakesh. After speaking with her and getting a feel for her business, as well as some of the traditional aspects that where important in the company’s image, I set to work researching Moroccan Henna, mosaics, and textiles. This research lead to the development of a unique visual language and resulted in an entire identity system.
BurningSquare.com Matches Sometimes the best way to be remembered is to have a unique leave behind. Made as a promotional piece to help advertise my web site; these matchbooks soon became a great alternative to a business card, or as a handy leave behind during an interview. Resent tweaks to my brand identity have lead to a more clean simplified design, but have a look at my blog if your curious as to how these are made or want to see the old design.
Moop Clothing Oakes Came to me wanting a business card that reflected the whimsical nature of his designs, as well as playing to the aesthetic represented in his clothing. The result was a visual language resulting from the textural aspects of magazines, fabric and thimbles. I also utilized some of the bright colors found in Oakes’s designs. Taking the DIY hand crafted nature of his work a step further in this design, I added the integrated sewing kit to the design of the card.

BODO BEER Leaky Tranny Lager Rusty Piston Red 40 Wt. Stout The concept behind this logo and packaging system was to design a beer brand that catered to automotive gear heads. To this end I tried to keep a very minimal clean approach that incorporated some of the visual language of factory service manuals. The logo was a simple type treatment with a rectangular lockup, and the cans themselves where a removable tab design that was chosen to give a retro-industrial feel, as well as to resemble cans used for [...]
