Dirty laundry piles up at Utah's anti-porn and anti-trafficking charities. | Cover Story | Salt Lake City Weekly

There are many forces behind the uptick in anti-porn laws in the U.S., and some of the more influential are based here in Utah. And many of these forces—which present themselves as "anti-porn" or "anti-trafficking" groups—are linked directly or indirectly to each other. Utah-based charities Fight the New Drug and the Malouf Foundation both at varying degrees have hands to play in the enterprise laid out above.

To begin, City Weekly inquiries yielded evidence of apparent connections to Tim Ballard, former CEO and founder of Operation Underground Railroad (OUR)—now called OUR Rescue—and the so-called "rescue operations" on which Angel Studios' motion picture Sound of Freedom is based. Ballard is implicated in many civil and criminal cases, including allegations of being a sexual abuser with ties to the rich and powerful of conservative Utah.

Ballard founded OUR to counter sex trafficking by engaging in vigilante-style, extrajudicial incursions into foreign countries—primarily in Latin America—to "save people." Now, he is being sued in federal district court by some of his victims, who allege that Ballard and his associates, Matt Cooper and Michael Porenta, actually engaged in human trafficking themselves.

Natasha Helfer is an AASECT-certified sex therapist based in Salt Lake City. She is also the founder of the Mormon Mental Health Association, a secular association of mental health professionals who specialize in treating Mormon clients. She was excommunicated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2021.

"With issues as severe as sex trafficking, these types of organizations—even if well-meaning—can perpetuate stereotypes, myths, and lies that end up hurting victims more than helping them," Helfer said.

  LOGAN, Utah—Utah-based bedding accessories maker Malouf today announced a new initiative to take on the global issue of human trafficking. Through the Malouf Foundation, the company will focus efforts and funding to become a force against human trafficking by supporting non-profit and law enforcement endeavors to free innocent victims and prosecute criminals, as well as to aid in the aftercare and rehabilitation of child survivors.

“When you think about your role and responsibilities to make the world and our communities a better place, there is no worse crime and no greater cause than child sex trafficking,” said Sam Malouf, CEO of Malouf. “It’s not an easy topic to discuss, but it’s a harsh reality that needs our voices and our actions.”

Understanding Dust Disease and Compensation Claims

OVERVIEW

Dust disease refers to various chronic lung conditions that occur due to harmful exposure to hazardous dust. The most common particles include asbestos, bagasse, cotton, mouldy hay, silica and straw. Exposure to dust from cutting, drilling, grinding and sanding, as well as hard metals, can also cause this sickness.

If you or a family member are suffering from dust disease or a similar condition as a result of inhaling harmful particles, you may be entitled to compensation. With experience handling dust disease claims, contact Gerard Malouf & Partners for a no obligation initial consultation if you are seeking compensation for charges regarding dust disease and other chronic lung diseases that fall under this umbrella.

Dust disease compensation examples

Dust disease occurs mainly in those who work in occupational careers such as manufacturing, installation, sandblasting, tunnelling and mining. Those who consider themselves labourers or tradesmen have likely come in contact with the hazardous dust particles previously mentioned, heightening the exposure risk and increasing the chances of getting dust disease.

Most commonly, claims that we handle cover those who have worked in those occupational careers in the past, but are now retired. That means initial exposure doesn’t necessarily get you sick right away — you can develop dust disease symptoms years after exposure to hazardous dust. The difference is that health and safety regulations have changed tremendously over the last few decades; occupational workers today have better protocols in place to ensure their lungs are protected.

Nevertheless, we still assist younger clients with dust disease claims. Because regardless of workplaces having created safer, more stable environments, dust disease can still occur.

Injuries and symptoms related to Dust Disease

Are you worried about your current state of health? Have you worked in an occupational job in the past and were exposed to dust particles, but you’re not sure if you’re experiencing dust disease?

Below are some of the common systems related to the condition that can help you get a better idea of whether it’s time to make a dust disease claim with Gerard Malouf & Partners:

A sudden and persistent cough

Shortness of breath

Sudden weight loss

Recurring lung infections, such as pneumonia

Inability to exercise

While you are not required to get a medical evaluation before speaking to us, dust disease is confirmed with a CT scan. If you are experiencing any of the prior symptoms, it’s time to investigate the cause. Contacting us is your next best step to gaining the compensation you deserve.

What makes me eligible and ineligible for dust disease compensation?

According to the Asbestos Diseases Foundation of Australia, those medically diagnosed with chronic lung disease, such as asbestos disease, may be entitled to compensation. As previously stated, medical evidence that proves you are living with chronic lung disease is a critical step to putting a dust disease compensation plan in motion. If you have proof that your chronic lung disease was caused by exposure to harmful dust particles, you’re in even better shape to get started on your case. Those claiming common law damages to their employer or another third party will also need proof that lung disease was the result of negligence or failure in duty of care.

If you have a chronic lung disease but the medical evidence shows it wasn’t caused by harmful particles, you wouldn’t be qualified to claim compensation through a dust disease claim. The same is true if you do have a condition caused by dust particles but it is not considered a dust disease, such as pleural plaques.

How to make a dust disease claim

Making a dust disease claim may seem like a complex and difficult process, but it doesn’t have to be. We at Gerard Malouf & Partners want to assist you with your compensation claim and help you to get the most out of your dust disease claim.

Seeking legal assistance from trained, experienced professionals should be a top priority on your journey to claiming dust disease compensation. At Gerard Malouf & Partners, we offer a no obligation initial consultation directly with our lawyers to help you understand your claim and potential compensation – just call us.

After a consultation and assessment with us, we will sign you up as a client and start investigating your case. We will examine your medical records and may speak directly to your doctors. No two dust disease cases are ever the same, but typically, claims take between one year and 18 months to resolve. We understand that these claims are time-sensitive in nature, and we will work hard to advocate for you based on the state of your health.

No matter how long the claim takes to settle, we want you to feel comfortable and confident that your individualized case is in good hands. Our team is fully capable, supportive and compassionate about helping vulnerable people get the assistance they need.

Investing in People with Sam Malouf and Being Different is Good with Austin McGhie

Joining Alan today is his new friend, Sam Malouf -  Co-Founder of Malouf Co. and The Malouf Foundation.  Sam shares that the real engine of his company is the people.  You can't do it all nor do you know it all.  Getting the right people to work for you and with you makes a big difference in the success of your company.  His mantra is, "We Invest in People".  Sam and his wife then moved onto create the Malouf Foundation - a public charity that helps create awareness in Human Sex Trafficking.  They focus specifically on kids.  They work with the healing process of the survivors as well as the justice side of things.  Alan asks Sam, "What valuable lessons have your learned as an Entrepreneur?  Sam replies, besides investing in people, encouraging their ideas, passion, criticism, and creativity is the essence.  Trusting and empowering people along with hard work and never giving up.

Up next is Austin McGhie - Author of Find Your Difference, Challenging Conformity in Business and in Life.  Austin says there isn't a lot of science behind marketing.  There's lot of tracking and measuring, just not a lot of science beneath it.  Alan asks what it is that he teaches in his books?  Austin says, business at the end of the day is marketing.  Marketing is about positioning, and positioning is about difference.  Brands and businesses are built through differences.  What is the "secret sauce" in marketing? You want facts and figures.  You build your mountain of information.  Then make that intuitive leap off. But the real secret is imagination.  Austin shares why his book is split into three sections.  The first section explains how important difference is.  The second is a question, Why are you so afraid of difference? And lastly, How do you go about being different in marketing and in business.  Alan asks why the word "Life" is on his book dealing with business.  Austin explains that there is a lot to be done to encourage people who are different to be different.  To celebrate difference and not to conform, to embrace things in life that are different.

FAQs on Best Knee Pillows For Side Sleepers

And coming in at half the value of some of the different thin pillows we examined, reasonably priced too. As I write out this review, there are not all that many thin pillows in the marketplace. And the few that do exist are concentrating on different prospects. It is likely that we'll see the market segment get more competitive over time. And when that happens, we are going to keep this guide updated, so as to always find the best slim pillow for you proper right here.

One model that we've heard lots of positive issues about is the Sleep Number pillows. These are from the corporate that makes the well-known adjustable beds, so we have already heard good things about their pillows. Just just like the beds, these Sleep Number pillows can be adjusted in firmness to fit your preferences.

Our High 5 Knee Pillows For Aspect Sleepers

The ZPacks Classic Sleeping Bag 20 has a shorter zipper than another sleeping bags. INCREASING TEMPERATURE RATING - Another thing to remember when choosing a sleeping bag is that you could always enhance your heat by including layers. For instance, sporting a down jacket with a hood inside your sleeping bag will significantly boost your warmth. You can also sleep in wool base layers, a warm hat, gloves, and even your raincoat/pants if issues get really frigid. The ZPacks Classic Sleeping Bag and the Western Mountaineering Alpinlite 20° are some of our favorite ultralight sleeping baggage.

 This does, after all, imply that in case you have a associate, you could each want totally totally different pillows, so don't store assuming that one size matches all. Silk has been really helpful by dermatologists as an anti-getting older device for many years, it could possibly improve pores and skin and hair hydration, prevent fantastic lines, wrinkles, frizzy hair and split ends! They don’t come cheap however nor does a high-finish pot of anti-aging cream – perhaps, additional time, these pillows would possibly simply be a worthwhile investment.

 Of course, when you buy a pillow that’s infused with CBD you’re going to have to factor within the infusion methodology when making your buying decision. Most corporations on this listing infuse the CBD directly into the pillow cowl. We consider that this provides probably the most profit since the capsules ensure that the CBD lasts longer than it does when it’s immediately infused into the pillow. This is a great pillow to purchase if you’re new to CBD pillows and don’t need to shell out a big sum of money. Brookstone is Bed Bath & Beyond’s home model so this one is as low-priced as it will get. Another cool factor about buying this pillow is that the Malouf Foundation donates a percentage of your buy to assist survivors of child intercourse trafficking. CBD is a hemp-derived substance that's being infused in actually every little thing.

 For extra particulars on down care, go to our How to Repair, Wash, Store, & Care For Your Sleeping Bag. Always take it out of its stuff sack and store it in a dry location. Hang your sleeping bag up, or maintain it in a big sack with room to unfold out. Storing your sleeping bag whereas compressed can harm the insulation of your bag and hurt its capacity to carry heat over time. DWR - Durable water repellent is a remedy that causes water to bead up on the outer shell of a sleeping bag rather than soak in. DWR will put on off and have to be reapplied over time, however it’s a nice function to have. It gained’t make a bag wherever near waterproof, however it does add a little extra protection.

Both Etene Nanai-Seturo and Vilimoni Koroi, who made their world series debuts in Wellington in 2017, will make their first appearances on the 2020 series this weekend alongside Sione Molia who last featured in Dubai.

“We’ve been training hard the last couple of weeks and we’ve got a couple of new boys coming in this weekend who will hopefully lift the level again,” said co-captain Tim Mikkelson. “For our assistant coach Tomasi Cama this will be his 100th tournament either playing or as a coach so that’s a special milestone that we want to respect and we’ll be doing everything this weekend for him.” Drawn in Pool A, the All Blacks Sevens will face Scotland – who have named one debutant, Paddy Kelly, in an otherwise unchanged side – and Wales who have made three changes for Hamilton. Both Scottish and Welsh players – alongside England – will be vying for a spot in the Team GB Olympic squad which will form later this year when head coach Simon Amor will make his selection for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. Their final Pool A encounter will be against USA, whose captain Madison Hughes (pictured) will become the fifth USA player to reach 50 events in a country where he made his world series debut in 2014. He will lead a squad that features Ben Pinkelman and Martin Iosefo, who were rested for Dubai and Cape Town after playing at Rugby World Cup 2019. South Africa, who took the opening title of the 2020 season in Dubai, make seven changes from Cape Town due to injuries and players returning to Super Rugby. The new faces for this event include Stedman Gans, who is named as captain, and South Africa’s all-time leading point scorer Cecil Afrika. “For us as a team this season has been good so far, we showed some good rugby in Dubai and Cape Town and I think that’s a good foundation for us to build on,” said Gans. “Our preparation started early in January, so we have prepared well leading up to Hamilton and we are very excited.” South Africa will play in Pool B alongside Kenya, England and invitational side Japan. Following the announcement that Amor will join Eddie Jones’ Six Nations coaching set-up, former England player and assistant coach James Rodwell will take the reins as head coach for Hamilton, Sydney, Los Angeles and Vancouver. Rodwell has made five changes to England’s squad for this weekend, including 18-year-old debutant Alfie Johnson and captain Tom Mitchell, who makes his long-awaited return from injury. Mitchell last played in Singapore 2019 with this weekend’s tournament marking his 60th series event. Kenya have made three changes to their squad with their most-capped player Collins Injera, who last played in Paris 2018, poised to also play his 60th series event in Hamilton, while Japan have made eight with only Fisipuna Tuiaki, Chihito Matsui, Ryota Kano and Yoshikazu Fujita backing up from Cape Town. Pool C features France, Ireland, Canada and Spain. France, who beat Fiji for the first time since Cape Town 2015 to win the bronze medal in the same city last month, have made one change to their side with their leading points scorer Terry Bouhraoua returning after missing out in South Africa. 2020 series newcomers Ireland make two changes, while Canada and Spain make two and four, respectively. Defending series champions Fiji, who failed to reach the Cup quarter-finals in Dubai for the first time in HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series history, finishing ninth will be looking to reestablish their form in Hamilton this weekend where they have been victorious for the last two years. Apenesia Cakaubalavu, who was called up as an injury replacement in Cape Town, Livai Ikanikoda and Asaeli Ratuvuaka are the three new players named by Gareth Baber for this weekend. Elsewhere in Pool D, Lewis Holland needs one try to become Australia’s out-right all-time top try-scorer in series history in what will be his 50th series event. Head coach Tim Walsh has named six changes with newly-named captain Nick Malouf – who missed out on Cape Town due to injury – one of them. The other Pool D contenders, Argentina and Samoa, have made three and four changes, respectively. The action gets underway at the FMG Stadium at 11:57 local time (GMT+13) on Saturday when Ireland take on Canada. Tickets for Saturday and Sunday are available online at www.sevens.co.nz

Here Is the Full List of 2019 James Beard Foundation Media Award Winners

Tonight the James Beard Foundation announced its Media Awards winners for 2019. Formerly known as the Book, Broadcast, and Journalism Awards, the ceremony in New York City honored work created in 2018 across these same categories.

The memory of Jonathan Gold and Anthony Bourdain loomed over the awards, the first since the deaths of both food world legends last summer. Gold, the only food writer to win a Pulitzer, was celebrated with a tribute by Ruth Reichl as she introduced the first-ever Jonathan Gold Local Voice award, which went to Nola.com’s Brett Anderson. Gold was also honored with a posthumous Craig Claiborne Distinguished Restaurant Review Award for his reviews at the LA Times. Bourdain’s show CNN show Parts Unknown, which had two nominations this year, won for visual and technical excellence; accepting the award, the Parts Unknown team thanked Bourdain, the show’s “misfit-in-chief.”

Also in the broadcast categories, David Chang took home a medal for outstanding reporting for his work for NBC covering the Olympics; Salt Fat Acid Heat won for television program (on location); Pati’s Mexican Table won for television program (in studio or fixed location), and Marcus Samuelsson won for outstanding personality.

In the books category, tonight’s festivities saw wins for Chicken and Charcoal by Yard Bird’s Matt Abergel in the restaurant and professional category, Between Harlem and Heaven by Eater Young Gun JJ Johnson (‘14) and Alexander Smalls in the American category, and Cocktail Codex was named book of the year.

Presenting the 10th Annual HOW Logo Design Award Winners

From donuts and chocolate to museums, non-profits, resorts, and even a philharmonic — these are the best of the best from this year’s Logo Design Awards!

Congrats to the 10th Annual HOW Logo Design Award Winners!

The HOW Logo Design Awards recognize the best of the very best when it comes to great logo design. A logo is one of the most important aspects of any business, and the team at HOW looks forward to the entries we receive from you each year because, well, we are design geeks (as you know) but because seeing the fantastic logos you’ve created shows us where brands are coming from in terms of values and aesthetics — and where they are headed with the designs you’ve created for them!

As significant as the design of the logo is, the application of the logo is equally pivotal. That’s why we have our Identity Applications category, which allows you to show off anything created in conjunction with a logo—business cards, packaging, T-shirts, animated GIFs and more.

Award-winning designer and art director Amy Petriello (of Worth Media Group) reviewed all of the stellar entries and selected 10 winning logo designs and 10 winning identity application designs. And YOU, the HOW community, decided on the Reader’s Choice awards in both of the competition’s categories! Congrats to all the 10th Annual HOW Logo Design Award Winners!

Reader’s Choice in the Logo Design Category: 

Stobitan Sports Surfaces from Stewart Design

Stobitan, a division of STOCKMEIER Urethanes, specializes in the production of sports surfaces, particularly track and field. This concept is a combination of a letter mark (S) and pictorial mark. The negative space resembles not only track lanes, but also the lines on an athletic field. Additionally, the grid that the shapes form mimic that of the bottom of a shoe. The repeated shapes communicate reliability and trust. Its geometric construction conveys both organization and efficiency and provides a simple, highly versatile mark.

Reader’s Choice in the Identity Application Category: 

Make-a-Wish from Rule29

With their trademark swirl and star, Make-A-Wish is one of the most recognizable non-profits in the world. However, it had been quite some time since Make-A-Wish had taken a comprehensive look at their entire brand and they realized that the organization had grown beyond the dated look and feel of their logo and identity. In 2015, Make-A-Wish decided it was time to create one, truly global brand…and we got the chance to get in on it!

Winners in the Logo Design Category

1. Bandung Philharmonic from KUDOS Design Collaboratory

Bandung Philharmonic is an orchestra group based in the capital of West Java, Indonesia. Formed in 2014, the orchestra has performed various arrangements, from international treasures to original compositions that incorporate traditional Sundanese bamboo instruments like the angklung and kentongan.

We created a logo lockup composed of a musical bar, a yellow dot, and a logotype. When applied to wearables, the logo lockup can be detached to create new forms of compositions. For their title sequence, logo follows a movement of organic lines and shapes as if drawing a traditional Indonesian Batik fabric motives.

2. Civic Music Association of Des Moines from Eight Seven Central

The Civic Music Association logo mark is specifically designed to attract interest, and invite interpretation. The mark evokes imagery such as cityscape, concert audience, or even ear and sound waves. The mark consists of the letters C M A. The C is intentionally more recognizable to act as visual entry point.

The geometric forms are influenced through the golden ratio and the musical staff. The mark translates into a playable piece of music to be interpreted by musicians at the beginning of concerts. The violet color lends itself to excitement, creativity, passion, and quality. Repeat mark pattern captures visual energy.

3. Equal Justice Initiative: Broken Chain Museum from Turner Duckworth

At the heart of the identity is a symbol that implores us to break the cycle of injustice. Inspired by the name Equal Justice Initiative, two equal letter Js form a broken chain, which not only encapsulates a larger purpose, but also became the symbol for the new Legacy Museum. The bold simplicity of the broken chain led to a series of illustrations that aim to illuminate EJI’s key themes and ideas with immediacy.

4. Graem Nuts and Chocolate from Vervaine Design Studio, Inc

Graem Nuts and Chocolate is a European inspired nut roaster, specializing in nuts, chocolate and dried fruit. We created a modern “squirrel” logo that is reminiscent of Scandinavian design, using simple geometric shapes to compose the squirrel. The classic color palette fits in well in Historic Concord, MA, and will look great in future locations as well.

5. Identity Museum Reinhard Ernst from Q

Three thoughts guided our creation of the identity for this museum with its focus on abstract art:

(1) Because abstraction is the process of omitting parts or elements, we cut out a portion of the letter forms in the acronym.

(2) The museum’s building, designed by famous Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki, is based on a distinctive concept: Viewed from from above, the building’s plan reveals that a large square atrium is cut out of the building corpus.

(3) The square open space symbolizes paintings or works of art that will be displayed in the museum. It also conveys a sense of the mental openness that we practice while contemplating abstract art.

The letterforms are arranged in a meaningful hierarchy: Under the sheltering M (for museum), the letters R and E (for Reinhard Ernst, the donator of the museum) stand next to each other to create a compact body. Despite the cut-out abstraction, the letters are still legible. The mind of the viewer adds the missing parts.

For this acronym, we used lower-case letters from Helvetica, probably the most objective typeface in the world. The font, created 1956, is omnipresent throughout the world and spans the time of the art displayed in the museum (paintings, photography, and sculpture from the 1950s to the present).

6. OnWatch from Malouf

OnWatch is an online training program, sponsored by The Malouf Foundation, to become an advocate for anti-human sex trafficking. The logo represents the action of opening our eyes and being aware of our surroundings and the signs of trafficking, with the sole purpose of saving as many children as we can. As a tertiary story the logo illustrates someone shining a light on this epidemic and becoming an active participant in the cause.

7. Pattakos Law Lion from KRON CORP

Combined the scales of justice with the a lion icon to create a memorable mark for the law firm.

8. ROSIE from Fried Design Company

ROSIE supports, assists and serves as an advocate network for current and prospective female founders, business owners, and leaders. They wanted a brand that reflected the courage it takes to step into a leadership role and also display a sense of female pride. Of course Rosie The Riveter made the perfect example. Using the “ROSIE-O” headband as the centrepiece of the logo and touch points, we created a brand that leads by example.

9. Smart Taipei from RedPeak Asia

Smart Taipei is a city transformation program that turns the city into a testing ground for innovations. In the logo design, the two T’s  from Smart and Taipei are connected to form the Chinese character for Taipei. In applications, the character can open up (separation of Smart and Taipei) to symbolize a welcoming attitude, while the space between alludes to endless possibilities. Vibrant colors reflect diverse aspects of smart living in Taipei. Dynamic and vibrant, the brand design presents Taipei as the breeding ground for pioneering ideas, where possibilities take shape and grow.

1. Bandung Philharmonic from KUDOS Design Collaboratory

  Bandung Philharmonic is an orchestra group based in the capital of West Java, Indonesia. Formed in 2014, the orchestra has performed various arrangements, from international treasures to original compositions that incorporate traditional Sundanese bamboo instruments like the angklung and kentongan.

We created a logo lockup composed of a musical bar, a yellow dot, and a logotype. When applied to wearables, the logo lockup can be detached to create new forms of compositions.

For their title sequence, logo follows a movement of organic lines and shapes as if drawing a traditional Indonesian Batik fabric motives.

2. Britt’s Knit Stitch from Mark Sposato

Hand-made logo and identity for an artisan of knitted goods. Britt taught herself to knit while staying at home with her newborn son and faithful Dachshund-Lab mix. Soon, this hobby became a passion, and it was time for her to start a business. I crafted a mark that reflected the humanistic and off-beat beauty of her custom knitwear and goods. Britt asked for a visual language that reflected pride in her Native American heritage, a well as the inspiration she derives from her family. All of her knits are handmade with love.

3. Cutters Sports Branding from Sussner Design Co

The grip on Cutters gloves is the highest performing in the football category. But the brand had not been refreshed since 2004, and felt their identity appeared dated and no longer in sync with the marketplace where flashy prevails.

To support at the launch of their restyled football glove, Sussner Design Co created a new, compelling brand identity that conveyed an evolved personality, speed and high performance for the Cutters brand. Grip The Greatness.

4. Dad’s Donuts from 3 Peaks Design by Printful

  The brand identity for Dad’s Donuts – an acclaimed mom-and-pop donut shop in Los Angeles – is inspired by donuts and the quintessential dad mustache. The palette is strategically based on the classic pink donut box, a detail that originated in California. The various design elements provide a nostalgic feel and make the viewer feel at home – as if they were visiting family. The circle is intended to give the on-the-go feel while utilizing the typical shape of a donut. This shape is repeated and emphasized throughout the branding elements.

5. Parkinson’s Foundation from Ultravirgo

The logo is specifically designed to serve as a platform for community expression, offering an open prompt for individuals to hand-write their own messages to personalize materials. Inspired by the custom t-shirts that families make for their popular fundraising walks, we built the entire system from the ground up to foster personalization. The identity has been met with enthusiasm from board, staff, and public including people with Parkinson’s. The brand launched with a social media campaign inspiring hundreds of people to write their messages on the logo, followed by a broader awareness campaign during Parkinson’s Awareness month, generating thousands more shared across social media.

6. Milestones Psychology from Mark Sposato

Milestones Psychology is a group of multidisciplinary clinicians who specialize in working with children and families from pre-school to college. I worked closely with the founders to design a mark, identity system, and extended brand halo that captured the positive, cheerful, yet systematic personality of their child-based psychology practice. The M monogram is built out of sections that represent steps, or milestones on the road to mental wellness. The idea of progression and vibrancy was carried out through the design of the logo, company web site, corporate identity, promotions, and collateral items.

7. Perfect Day at CocoCay from Royal Caribbean International

Royal Caribbean is creating an entirely new private island experience in CocoCay, Bahamas — introducing several record-breaking attractions like the tallest waterslide in North America and the largest wave pool in the Caribbean. To capture the essence of our new destination, we created a custom logo for use in all brand marketing on and off the island. The logo is built on the existing CocoCay name, drawn by hand and brought to life through vibrant colors and organic textures that evoke The Bahamas. The identity is being further reinforced in signage around the island and logo merchandise available to the guest.

8. Provincetown from Vic Rodriguez, Texas State University

9. Tribe Street Kitchen from Sullivan Higdon & Sink

Tribe Street Kitchen may be located in Kansas City, but this restaurant’s vision goes way beyond the heart of the Midwest. The unique menu celebrates iconic street food flavors from all over the world, and the visual identity needed to pull those influences together. But the look and feel wasn’t limited to typical restaurant collateral like menus and glassware. Tribe was able to make its mark on Kansas City’s River Market district by introducing a building-size mural as well as custom-welded metal signage. These handmade touches reflect the craftsmanship that has gone into global street food for centuries.
