Tinkering with Space

July 25, 2018

Who you are is how you work

Tinker Ma Brand Identity

Although Tinker Ma is a new name and company, its collective experience and commitment to community are nothing new. Trey Wheeler and Thomas Palmer of Cogent Studio and Craig Peavy of PVDesign are joining under the new brand of Tinker Ma and are offering clients their more than 60 years of combined expertise in architecture and design.

Architecture is complex, but Tinker Ma’s process is simple: take an idea from the client, breathe life and art into and reflect it back into the world. Widgets & Stone employed that exact same process with the three partners throughout the naming and identity design process.

The design team worked closely with Trey, Thomas, Craig and collaborative partner 26 Tools to uncover the ‘why’ of their new endeavor and explore a variety of names and brand identity solutions.  

The final result is a design that tinkers with space (‘ma’ is japanese for “space”). A modular system that allows for experimenting, for playing within places, and for perfecting the spaces in between.

“Tinker Ma believes that who you are is how you work, and what you make, and the things you leave behind.”

Norspring: Naming and Logo

Norspring Center for Rejuvenation was founded in 2017 in Chattanooga, TN by a group of health and business professionals with one common goal: to offer new methods for overall health and wellness that provide complete whole body rejuvenation through innovative therapies – including cryotherapy. Combined with other therapies, Norspring’s offerings are advanced and effective ways to use the natural recovery power of our bodies. These innovative therapies enhance wellbeing and can provide improved performance, increased vitality and overall revitalization.  

The NORSPRING name was born from the idea of hygge and the renewal of life in the springtime. Hygge — pronounced,  "hoo-gah" — an approach to living that embraces positivity and enjoyment of everyday experiences, said to be core concepts of attitudes to life in the Nordic region. Hygge is the idea that even in the cold Norwegian winters, Norwegians experience warmth and coziness in their homes. 

26 Tools and Widgets & Stone worked together to create a name and logo for the new cryotherapy company that reflects their values and goals.

Soccer meets the Avant Garde

May 4, 2017

The Avant Garde

Avant Soccer Identity Design

This consulting group grew a club from scratch in Chattanooga – one that has been extremely successful. After fielding many requests to replicate their success in other cities, they decided to start Avant Soccer. Avant Soccer experts are thoroughly convinced that the growth potential in American soccer is in markets of 1 million or smaller.

And because Avant Soccer believes that small markets are the future of American soccer, they offer the following to lower division clubs across North America:

· Branding
· Sponsorship Structure & Activation
· Budgets
· Business Management
· Ticket & Merchandise Sales
· Gameday Operations
· Marketing & Social Media
· Supporter Ownership

Widgets & Stone created an athletic identity with naming and logo design.
