Pacific Rim Timberworks needed a logo and visual identity that reflected both the owner’s background in timberworking and his personal connection to the ocean.

Pacific Rim Timberworks needed a logo and visual identity that reflected both the owner’s background in timberworking and his personal connection to the ocean.

Insight

The owner came into the project with a clear vision—hand-sketched and inspired by his love of surfing and working with wood. While we explored alternative concepts, the strongest direction consistently returned to his original idea.

The challenge was not reinventing his vision, but refining it—translating a meaningful sketch into a clean, modern identity that could scale across print and apparel.

Solution

A collaborative logo refinement process that honored the original sketch while elevating it with modern typography and a cohesive color palette.

Key elements included:

  • Digitally refining the original hand-drawn concept

  • Pairing the mark with clean, modern typefaces

  • Developing a color palette inspired by ocean tones with a contemporary feel

  • Extending the identity into business cards and apparel concepts

The result preserved the authenticity of the original vision while giving the brand a polished, professional presence.
