Our thoughts

Ryan Ballani came to twelve14 studios for help in creating a unique gift company. We first worked on composing a name that would cover most every occasion. After much deliberation, the result was “Memories Uncorked.”

Once we had a great name as a foundation, we were able to create strong imagery to support whimsical attitude of the company. We used the elephant as a symbol to show memory as well as good luck and loyalty. We also played off this concept having the cork springing from the elephant’s trunk. A seal was considered the best solution to the logo concept, considering the logo would have to be placed on a variety of different items. The seal was also a throw-back to vintage trade seals used to sell goods in street fairs.
