Brandclay is a graphic design studio based an hour away from Detroit in Ann Arbor, Michigan that specializes in logo creation, individual and corporate branding, stationary development, and web design.
Founded by design creative Sean Farrell, Brandclay was formed with one goal in mind: create unique and inspiring designs that are useable for clients. Brandclay’s individualistic approach towards the design process ensures that your project, whether it be personal or corporate, stands out in today’s world where presentation is everything.
Take a look at the portfolio and see how Brandclay’s work has helped numerous companies and individuals find their creative identity.
Brandclay was formed after a few months of brainstorming. Previously known as "penflare," He was dissatisfied with the connotations attached to the name and decided to make a change...
Like a lot of Sean's logos and designs, Brandclay has a double meaning. First, because of his faith in Jesus, he envisions himself as clay that Jesus, who as the potter, will mold and shape. Second, Brandclay can also refer to brand creation and the forming and shaping of a company. The tag line was then born, "Where creativity is formed."
In case you're wondering what brandclay has been up to lately, here is a collection of the 5 most recent designs uploaded to the portfolio. If you've browsed all of them already and like what you see, then you'll love the full portfolio.
These are the the thoughts of me, Sean Farrell. Here you'll find the musings, rants,
