New country artist, Matt Kennon, has had resounding success with his first hit single “The Call”. His rugged charm and gravely voice have catapulted him onto radio playlists across America. With his single, “The Call”, his recently released self-titled debut album and now his second single “You Can Still Wear White”, Collide took inspiration from Matt’s down-to-earth authentic style to design an approachable identity which represents his music.

One of the new generation of Blue Collar Comedy, Juston McKinney is a comedian to whom we can all relate. In his new release, “A Middle Class Hole”, Juston talks about the ups and downs of the “American Dream”. Collide used Juston’s vivid descriptions of his experiences in modern suburbia to bring his stories to life on the cover of his DVD and CD packages.

This Alaskan transplant, Christian comedian oozes charisma while bringing biblical messages into modern day with a twist. The saying “you can’t make that stuff up” directly applies to every story Torry brings to life. He takes his adventures in wild Alaska, combines them will his own shortcomings and shows us all how to laugh at ourselves and play to our strengths all while giving glory to God.
Collide (with photography by Allen Clark and Styling by Tammy Rhoton) focused on a woodsy, Alaskan charm when bringing Torry’s new brand to life.

Just recently to press: Winfield’s Locket
Brand new on the scene and showing off a blend of soul-infused country, sisters Leslie and Brooke Martin, as Winfield’s Locket, just released their debut album which is now available on iTunes.
For this project, they were looking for a combination of gothic flair, vintage country and classic femininity for their identity and packaging. This is what Collide came up with:

This year’s Christmas season theme at long-standing client The Village Chapel centers around the word “Glory.” Utilizing a custom pattern, and centering on a type treatment that incorporates the pattern as part of it, deliverables include a bulletin, as well as re-facing the website for the season, as well as a 6′ wide display banner, all shown below, as well as on-screen elements. The season culminates in the church’s amazing annual Christmas concert, which is this Sunday, Dec. 13 (details at the above link, if you’re in the Nashville area and interested in attending).

For the past several years, longtime client The Village Chapel have developed a yearly theme, which ties in to the main visual elements of the church. This has always taken the form of a collaboration with the amazing artist Kim Thomas, who, in this case created sculptures as part of an installation which was on display at the front of the church throughout the year. Collide worked on the bulletin design, incorporating the sculptures via the photography of Allen Clark, playing out theme of “The Postures of Faith” in four parts. See below for the resulting designs, and the installation on display in the church. I could go on explaining, but I think these speak for themselves.

In 2001, a few people in Nashville started a little non-denominational church. Now, with nearly 1000 in attendance each Sunday, eight years later the needs of the organization are rapidly expanding. With a congretation that skews toward young, media-savvy, arts-focused individuals, a new website was launched to meet some of those needs, by providing up-to-date info on church ministries and events, as well as connecting the church community. Collide shaped the visuals from the background textures (which tie in with this year’s visual theme & bulletins) to photo treatments and section icons; and TVC’s brilliant Marcus DePaula handled the development, based around the Joomla platform, in addition to managing the structure and content of the site for the church. Take a look at http://www.thevillagechapel.com/. Some of the features of the site include a robust community section, weekly sermon podcast, and scrolling announcements.
