Ani Villas Brand Deployment

Sunday, December 12, 2010 - 12:00

We're a little late in doing so, but no less delighted to showcase the new brand we developed for Ani Villas. As the first in a series of luxury vacation properties, Ani Anguilla offers the world class luxury of a resort, with the seclusion of a private estate. Each location will also act as an affiliated supporter of a nearby Ani Art Academy, offering artistic instruction to local students through the methodology of Anthony Waichulis.

The Ani identity system fuses art and elegance with an expressive icon to speak to painting as well as escapism. You can take a look at the logo system here.

Not to mention the Ani Villas website design, which serves as both an information outpost and a resource to facilitate user reservations and engage travel agents. And we should add, built with Drupal to accommodate scalability and robust content management.

Stay tunes for future updates including Ani Villas stationary design as well as work on the forthcoming Ani Art Academy site.

What's cooler than designing the holiday greeting card for NBC Universal this year? Knowing that one will be getting delivered to the cast of SNL. Lets face it. It's the closest I'll ever come to saying LIVE, FROM NEW YORK, but I digress.
