off and running

We met Jim back when we had just opened Tenn Hens doors in 2005. We were designing a project for CMT, where he was working, and he sought us out recently as he started this new business venture. Running 4 Cover is a Nashville based production company. They represent a group of video directors and also offer an in-house studio. We were thrilled to hear from him and find out he'd gone out on his own. I guess you could say we root for the upstart. After all, it's what we did!

Some clients come to us looking for a little polishing up of their existing brand. In this case, he already had a logo and great looking website. What he needed was to pull together their marketing and create a really cohesive look. Tenn Hens designed business cards, labels and note cards based on his existing look. We wish him much success.

a special treat

The big 4-0 is certainly a reason to celebrate. This particular client had some hilarious photos to work with on her invitation. So we designed a girlie, whimsical pattern in the background, then letter-pressed the hot pink type. Our favorite detail was the luxurious envelopes. They had a slight texture and were letter-pressed as well on both sides! We carried the theme over to napkins and favor tags. Lucky guests received a small box of truffles from The Cocoa Tree in Nashville - yum!

music to our ears

Americana seems to be quite the buzz word these days. The Americana Music Association is really fabulous and it's catching on like crazy around the world. People seem to really respond to roots music and it's variety appeals to so many types of listeners. So we slipped on our boots and headed to the Ryman Auditorium for a magical evening. We were thrilled to see all of the pieces for this years event really come together. And I think the 10 yr stamp was a great way to showcase their anniversary. It's quite a milestone to hit! We tip our hats to the people running the show and to another fabulous year of music.
