PACIFIC RIM TONEWOODS

Pacific Rim Tonewoods needed to strengthen and update their brand in order to establish themselves as the leading purveyor of science-driven, sound-superior, sustainably-sourced tonewoods. They came to us seeking a logo that would reflect both the “Craftsman” and “Scientist” personas that characterize their work – grounded, innovative, diligent, and precise.

SEVENTH STRING BOWLS

A sister company from the team behind Pacific Rim Tonewoods - Seventh String Bowls takes the wood not used for sound boards and using their proprietary method, turns them into heirloom quality bowls. The mark has strong ties to the PRT brand while evoking the cyclical nature of wood turning, and the wholistic approach to their businesses.
