The Process
Film director Colin Hughes and producer Caley Fox Shannon, both from Riverside, Illinois, wanted their company name to reflect the iconic gas lamps that line the streets of their neighborhood. To capture this inspiration, I began the design process by sketching a series of lamps based on reference images of the historic gas lamps.
Their film company, Fire Department Inc., was featured in several film festivals including the Blue Whiskey Film Festival and the Workers Unite Film Festival. To strengthen their brand presence at these events, we developed a logo stinger to open their films. The concept centered around a luminescent effect that paid homage to the gas lamps illuminating the streets of Riverside, Illinois, connecting the visual identity to their hometown roots.
