This year’s Christmas season theme at The Village Chapel involved taking phrases from the timeless “Joy To The World” for each week.

Willie Nelson’s Tribute to Classic Country

Becky Tucker — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 22:06:45 +0000

To most of America, Willie Nelson is a household name, as it is here at Collide, which is why we were SO excited to be able to create the branding and packaging for his new album, Remember Me Vol. 1. The new release from Willie Nelson and R&J Records, has plenty of familiar standards recorded by Willie with producer James Stroud from the “classic country songbook” made famous by the likes of Johnny Cash, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Porter Wagoner, and Vern Gosdin, and others – all with Willie’s signature twist!

To reflect this rich heritage in the packaging, we revisited the classic LP style (a vinyl edition of the album is on its way too), and created a digital photo-illustration for the cover to add to the timeless, classic quality. We hope you enjoy this project as much as we do. It’s now available on CD (Amazon) and digital (iTunes).

O Come Let Us Adore Him

Kevin Tucker — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 15:55:26 +0000

We created materials for The Village Chapel‘s Christmas theme “O Come Let Us Adore Him.” Putting large focus on the gorgeous illustration by Kim Thomas, these materials include bulletins, programs, and on-screen graphics, and are being used throughout the month of December for their regular services, and at the special Christmas service. Below are samples of a few of these items. Merry Christmas!

Project in Focus: Lo Cash Cowboys

Becky Tucker — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 19:08:55 +0000

LoCash Cowboys are new to the country scene, with their energetic and innovative style they really separate themselves from your grandma’s country! For “Keep in Mind” they took a step back from their edgier norm and created this truly beautiful ballad. Collide (with the photography of Allen Clark) in creating the art for this single, tried to soften things up a bit without taking away the LoCash personality. What you see here is an ad for the single “Keep in Mind” and the original logo created for the band. Look for more of our work with these guys in the future, we’re having a blast!

Project in Focus: The Gideons International Conference Materials

Becky Tucker — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 15:56:16 +0000

Collide was blessed to be able to design the conference materials for The Gideons International this year. Along with Gideons Art Director Jeff Jones, Collide created a fresh approach to a centuries old idea. Focusing on individual people and their place in this organization, Collide created a visual army one person at a time. Also check out the motion graphics based on these designs, created by frequent collaborators Fivestone Studios and if you have a few minutes, check out the website [see link above] for The Gideons International. Their history is truly fascinating!

Matt Kennon

Becky Tucker — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 19:54:49 +0000

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.

Juston McKinney

Becky Tucker — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 22:43:09 +0000

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.

Torry Martin: Comedy With Character

Becky Tucker — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:37:51 +0000

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.
