Branding

I have collected some branding ideas that collaborate with what we have envisioned for the design of the restaurant.  Not all are practical but all are creative, unique and green...all adjectives we want to incorporate into the design.  Let me know what you think.

Above: I love the idea of creating a business card that looks like a chalkboard yet can be mass produced from a printer.  People that see this card will remember it-I think that is key in branding a company.

Above: I thought the idea of adding a touch of color to the sides of a business card was great.  It is subtle when the card is by itself and when they are stacked it makes a big impact.

Above: 'Helping Hands!' This card goes great with Even Stevens mission statement of 'Eat and Feed the World'- it would be neat to see the hands making peace signs...my only concern is the cost per card. 

Above: I though this idea was innovative. You can basically turn a scrap piece of paper into a card. Maybe we could stamp peoples hands with chemical free ink when they place an order? or give them a sticker (like you mentioned) that look like a stamped piece of paper. (Or a friendship string bracelet similar to the Kabbalah ones...) OR bumper stickers!

Above: This kid is creative. I love his take on a 'cardboard cutout' for a business card. I realize that this card would be very costly to produce but it was so different I thought it was worth sharing. Wouldn't it be neat to have cutouts made of your dad (the owner), as well as homeless kids or families that are on the receiving end of Even Stevens?

Above: the cardboard business card is neat but I don't think very practical.

Above: I like the look of the hand signs above as opposed to the one proposed for the business card.
