Gamma Phi-bulous fabric: the pink carnation

March 13, 2012

We’re working on pattern designs for Gamma Phi Beta sorority members so they can celebrate their official flower – the pink carnation – in a new (fabric) way!

We plan to tweak and/or complete more patterns than pictured here. We think the fabrics could be used to make gift totes, tablecloths, to cover big Greek letters for recruitment, or whatever members can dream up.

Our goal is to have several ready this summer (June 2012). Hopefully we’ll have some actual gift items made up, and for sure the actual fabric for sale. We’re pretty thrilled about this. We’d love to hear what you think. Ideas anyone? Which one’s your favorite? Leave us a comment.

This new Pink Carnation line of fabrics is inspired by the four founders of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority: Helen, Frances, Adeline, and Mary. You can read about them here. We’ll talk more about what this means as we complete our designs.

A STEP in the PINK direction.

March 16, 2011

Electricity provider, Champion Energy Services, supported Susan G. Komen in Race for the Cure. We designed a fun ‘shoe print’ logo featuring the pink ribbon for race shirts and signage.

To expand on the design we used a service at Keds to create-your-own custom pair of sneakers. How cool is that? Easy enough for an amateur, we designed these funky Keds as a gift for Elizabeth Fordham, Champion’s then marketing guru. A little thank you for embracing our creative talent and partnering with us in the ‘zero to hero’ year that has become Champion Energy Services in 2010.

Now these probably aren’t the most comfy sneakers to run the race in, but they sure are unique.

Every girl wants a new do!

February 14, 2011

Today is the day! Time for a new hairdo. Something fresh, contemporary, inspirational, reflective of the times, yet respectful of tradition. So, when Gamma Phi Beta decided to update their Foundation brand, the appointment was made. All it took was a collaboration of shampoo, conditioner, a clip here and a clip there, a touch of color and a final blow-dry. Oh! how a new hairdo makes you feel. A renewed spirit and soul. In this case less is more, as there was no need for an overhaul, but to simply refresh what was fundamentally good.

Beans for United Way.

June 24, 2009

BeansBasket

The folks at Baker Hughes host a fun United Way day event every spring for their employees. They solicit contributions of all types for a silent auction to inspire giving.

We put all Prism’s recent “beans things” in one of those extra large cellophane bags from Palmer Packaging (we love this place*) and did our best to make it look like top florists do. Sometimes, hands-on is the best way to go.

*If you’ve never visited Palmer Packaging on Richmond Avenue, Houston, it’s a designer’s best Houston source for low-cost event supplies. Tell them Prism sent you.
