BCOME does a COMPETITION

BCOME just took recently part in the WE DO ECO competition.

Instead of just writing a (boring) article about how BCOME does ECO, I made a CD, showing how BCOME changes a simple TetraPak into a CD case and sent it in a sample TetraPak CD case.

BCOME a fun MOO COMPETITION ENTRY

The British printing company MOO held a compatition to create a business card for the Tooth Fairy.

Sure that BCOME was up for that funand sent in two different entries, approaching the theme as usual in a very simple and clear way.

BCOME an ALMAREA LOGO

After working together with ALMAREA, a young start up business in Switzerland, BCOME is happy to be able to introduce you to the logo design for this great client.

ALMAREA is an international working headhunter for which reason we decided to go for an icon which symbolizes 2 hands doing a high five - getting companies as well as jobseekers successfully together. 

As always you can have a closer look at this project on the BCOME portfolio !

BCOME a CI DESIGN FOR ACADEMY GARDEN

For all of you who are living in Tokyo and looking for a place to fresh up your language skills, give your children the opportunity to get new friends while having fun + learning there is now the perfect place for you :
Academy Garden アカデミーガーデン in Ebisu, Tokyo.

BCOME got the chance to work together with a wonderful team of professionals and created, together with the support of ルート㈱ the logo design for this newly founded academy.

Beside the icon and logo design, the work included also all the other aspects of a corporate identy and was more than rewarding. We especially enjoyed the work on the signage proposals, based on the logo idea of the Tangram.

Check out the BCOME online portfolio for more images or just have a look at the Academy Garden in Ebisu!

BCOME a COMPETITION CONTRIBUTION

40th Anniversary of Japan-Oman Diplomatic Relations

The Year 2012 will mark the 40th year of relations between Japan and Oman. The Embassy of the Sultanate of Oman in Tokyo was seeking designs for a logo to symbolize the 40th Anniversary Year, so BCOME was taking part in the competition and creating this contribution.


For detailed info please check out the BCOME logo contribution on the BCOME online portfolio.

BCOME a BOOK COVER

Tataaa ... may we present "A long road" from Edward Obaidey, which is now with this book cover made by BCOME (illustration by the author himself) on the market.

We actually wanted to give the title a modern touch with cutting it on the left and right side - check out the BCOME online portfolio for the original design - but the publishing company did not agree on this idea (although the author did) so we had to go with the super simple version.

So, in case you are interested in accupuncture, check out "A long road"!

BCOME an UNO ICHIBAN LOGO

Here is another graphic project of BCOME, where we have combinde East and West and worked together with a calligrapher.

... and in case you want to know more about the development check out the BCOME online portfolio.

 

BCOME the GoEIGO LOGO + WEBSITE

Changing the image and style of a logo and website is always somthing exiting, so I was pretty happy, when I was asked by GoEigo if I could create a new logo as well as the basic website design for them.

Learning a language is a lot of fun so I wanted to give the logo and website a bit this kind of feeling, instead of creating something too edgy but instead to give it more a playful touch.

BCOME a BUSINESS CARD

While working on several bigger projects, I wanted to give you a glance on what I am doing during a short break, a coffee and meeting up with a client ...

ULO DOMES had been used in KiriKiri up in the Iwaten Ken as temporary bath tents for 150 people where I met the nice chef, who did this entire project as charity.
I created the logo as well as this very simple business card after climbing and demounting and constructing again with other volunteers one of those domes.

BCOME thinks 心は共に

HOPE DRAWS ITS POWER THROUGH A SIGN OF SOLIDARITY

After these past few weeks our concern and worry continue for Japan.

Much of the Japanese population continues to suffer in the wake of three devastating events from the effects of earthquakes, tsunami and the nuclear disaster.

Many of us find our hearts are with the families and friends we love, including with those in all the cities and towns across this special and great country.

It’s very difficult for most of us to imagine what it must be like to find oneself in such a circumstance. Though we know what it feels like, when we hear that people are thinking about us at such a difficult time.

The main focus of this site is to provide a place for all to post as many photos of you with the Tohoku heart and by doing so we are able to show people that we continue to hold them in our thoughts and we haven’t forgotten.

Thanks for being part of this!

Four easy steps to show that you care:

01 Download heart from website
02 print it off
03 Take a pic of yourself with the heart
04 Upload the pic onto the website
