Client review

Seemed like an easy assignment. Itd difficult to take something that already exists and update it so it looks more current, yet maintains the basic character of the current. NIKS8 worked diligently to revise and refine until it looked excellent and fit the task. Nice job....Great talent and willingness to listen, patience! Thanks!!

Logo redesign

Interesting logo redesign project for client who already tried to update his branding but wasn't happy, until now ;) so, with clients love for geometry & triangles in mind and his old design, I came up with this minimalistic and simple logo which works great with blending red colors coresponding to Redrock Canyon. Variation with outline is just as neat, while both share same modern and clear lettering.
