March 4, 2024

Summer Is Calling

Camp Mondamin is a 100+ year old camp for boys, situated on the picturesque shores of Lake Summit near Tuxedo, North Carolina. The camp had this existing logotype (based on their original logo from 1923) but also wanted to have a representative visual mark. 828:design worked to integrate the logotype into this lake scene, accentuated by a discreet canoe paddle, symbolizing the spirit of the camp through one of its original recreational activities.

Writer, Activist, Teacher: Wilma Dykeman

The Wilma Dykeman Legacy was founded in 2012 by her son Jim Stokely, to honor Wilma's extraordinary life. The Legacy works to sustain her core values of environmental integrity, social justice, and the power of the written and spoken word. We're grateful for the opportunity to create web and print materials for this admirable non-profit organization. Locally, Wilma is best known for her book The French Broad (a Rivers of America book) but there is so much more to learn about this avant-garde individual.

Law firm logo with Celtic symbol and a screen grab of website home page
January 25, 2023

Legal Services Made Simple.

Irvine Law Firm offers a less expensive and more convenient alternative to the traditional law firm. They bridge the gap between online services like LegalZoom and the conventional path, blending the best qualities from both worlds. We created the logo and identity system for the firm, with this in mind. The solution reflects an affinity for Celtic symbols and a balance that highlights their collaborative approach to law through mediation and resolving legal disputes outside of the courtroom.

The website is designed to blend the feel of the traditional firm and online legal services, and offers a lot of good information to clients and the general public alike. It includes some unique touches like the multicolored fluid-acrylic painting elements created by Stephanie Irvine.
