New York designer gets new look

New look for New York label

Komi­tor has been a fam­ily owned and run whole­saler spe­cial­iz­ing in the man­u­fac­tur­ing of women’s plus size out­er­wear since 1946. For three gen­er­a­tions they have had a loyal clien­tele sell­ing to some of the biggest retail­ers in New York. More recently their mar­ket share has been in a slide. The global mar­ket­place has made it easy for retail­ers to buy direct from over­sees man­u­fac­tures. Komi­tor rec­og­nized the need to develop a strong brand iden­tity. Merola Design was brought in to cre­ate a con­sumer friendly brand. Start­ing with a new cor­po­rate iden­tity and tag line and fol­low through with hang tags sta­tion­ary web­site and show­room sig­nage and web­site as well.

A&E and History Channel identity

A&E net­work and His­tory Chan­nel cor­po­rate stan­dards guide­lines
In 1995 while part of William Sny­der Design, our team was given the assign­ment to redesign the A&E net­work and The His­tory Channel’s cor­po­rate iden­ti­ties. Each of these iden­ti­ties were being eroded and mis­man­aged and needed guide­lines. We cre­ated a thirty-two page graphic stan­dards man­ual for each com­pany to help main­tain usage and con­sis­tency. Top­ics cov­ered include, logo vari­ants, rules for logo use, color con­trol and repro­duc­tion materials.

East Village restaurant graphics by Merola Design

Restau­rant graph­ics designed for One & One

This restau­rant bar in the New York’s East Vil­lage promises a gourmet tra­di­tional Irish menu with the best fish and chips this side of the Atlantic. The last busi­ness to occupy this space on the cor­ner of First Street and First Avenue caught fire and stayed empty for years until One and One reopened it’s doors in the spring of 1998. Gal­lic inspired icons through­out the room feel right at home with the tat­tooed clad patrons. Fire red painted walls and church can­dles help breath life back into this for­merly empty and ash filled space. Menu design, can­dles matches and room dividers were also designed.
