Project Spotlight. ๐Ÿบ
Sumerduck Craft Brewery came to us needing a brand mark that could hold its own โ€” something that looks right on a tap handle, a can, a shirt, and a sign out by the road without falling apart at any size.
So we built them one. Full brand identity. Clean, sturdy, and unmistakably theirs.
Here's the thing about a brewery logo: it's the first sip. People see it on a menu or a shelf before they ever taste anything you made. If it looks thrown together, that's the impression you're handing them for free.
Sumerduck's beer is small-batch and made with actual care. Their logo needed to say that before anybody read a single word. Now it does.
I supervised the entire project from my chair with an orange soda in hand. Dan says he "did the design work," which is a bold claim from a man who asked me twice what a tap handle was.

Every agency says they have "culture." We have a shelf.
Somewhere between the mystery mug collection and whatever that is in the corner, the good ideas happen. We're not saying the two are related. We're not saying they aren't.

Somebody asked if the 25-free-shirts deal was still going. I checked. It's still going. I checked by walking into Dan's office and asking loudly while he was on a call.
So yes. Buy a logo and brand identity design from Metro Nova Creative, and 25 t-shirts with your new logo come with it. Free.
Twenty-five is more than it sounds like. That's your whole crew, the part-timer, your brother-in-law who shows up on Saturdays, two for the truck, and one you keep in the drawer for when a customer says "hey, can I get one of those?" That last one is the important one. That's how a logo starts working for you instead of just sitting in a folder.
The only reason this offer exists is that a logo has to survive the real world. Shirts are the fastest way to find out if yours does.
Book time with Caitlin and we'll talk it through: calendly.com/caitlin-metronovacreative/30min
Or call 540-369-3200. I'll probably answer. Dan says I'm not allowed to. Dan says a lot of things.

New logo alert. ๐Ÿฆ„
Sharper Look Exteriors out of Midland handles soft washing, roof cleaning, gutters, windows, and permanent lighting all over our area, and Rick's crew has built a serious reputation for showing up on time and doing it right. What they didn't have was a mark that looked as sharp as the work.
So they came to us. And by "us" I mean me. Dan helped. A little. He kept saying words like "kerning" while I supervised from the good chair with an orange soda.
Swipe through and take a look at what we built for them. Then go get your house washed, because yours could probably use it. No judgment. Okay, a little judgment.
Need a logo that actually looks like your business is worth hiring? Give us a shout.

Dan hijacked the camera again. ๐Ÿฆ„
Something about logo files and why the one on your desktop might be quietly embarrassing you. I offered to explain it in half the time using an orange soda and an interpretive dance. Rejected. Unbelievable.
Watch it, then come see us โ€” new logos come with 25 free tees right now.

Okay, technically not ME me. But wristbands and koozies I personally approved, which is basically the same thing.
Here's the deal with event swag: the wristband is what gets people in the gate, and the koozie is what they take home and keep using all summer. One does a job for a day. The other does a job for years. That's a lot of mileage for something that fits in a back pocket.
Dan wanted to talk about "print methods" and "turnaround windows." I wanted to talk about whether we could do a koozie shaped like a unicorn. We compromised. He did the boring parts, I did the vision.
Big thanks to FABA for letting us be part of Summer Fest. If your organization has an event coming up and you want swag people actually keep, come talk to us. We do wristbands, koozies, tees, hats, tote bags, and roughly nine hundred other things I'm not allowed to list because Dan says the post gets too long.

Randman's Renaissance didn't come to us asking for "a logo real quick." They wanted the whole kit. My favorite kind of project.
So we built it. Website first, because that's where people decide whether you're worth calling. Then business cards, because handing someone a good card is still one of the most underrated moves in business. Then rack cards they can leave anywhere people are already looking for [what they do]. Then a banner stand, so when they show up to an event, they show up looking like they've been doing this a while.
I supervised the entire build from the good chair with an orange soda. Dan clicked some things. Great teamwork all around.
Here's why doing it all at once matters: everything matches. Same colors, same type, same personality on a screen, in your hand, and standing tall behind a table. That's not luck. That's the whole point.

Print day. My favorite day. ๐Ÿฆ„
STS Solutions & Consulting shirts โ€” we prepped the artwork, cleaned up the files, got everything set up right, and then Sure Shot ran the whole batch while I supervised with an orange soda.
Watch the ink hit. I've watched it 40 times. Dan says that's "not a job." Dan also can't burn a screen, so.
Want shirts for your business? Link in bio. Ask for Freti. They'll say I'm unavailable. Be persistent.

Fresh FABA swag, and every piece has a job.
The sunglasses: logo down the temple. That's the arm that runs back to your ear, and it's the part everybody else sees when you're standing next to somebody at a jobsite or on the ninth hole.
The koozies: two designs, because nobody has ever thrown a koozie away. It just quietly lives in the truck, the cooler, the tailgate, and the kitchen drawer forever.
Both get used outside, in warm weather, in front of other people. That's the whole point of promo. A branded thing in a drawer does nothing. A branded thing in somebody's hand at a cookout is doing real work.
Thanks to the Fredericksburg Area Builders Association for letting us have fun with these. Dan says he "oversaw the project." I have never seen this man oversee anything except a sandwich.

Okay so I asked for a six-foot book about unicorns and instead Dan came back with THIS, and honestly? I forgive him.

Meet the custom signage we designed and printed for the Fred SPCA Fur Ball: A Fairy Tail Gala. Thatโ€™s a full storybook cover, standing six feet tall, gold foil detail and all. And yes, thatโ€™s Dan next to it for scale. Heโ€™s pointing at it like he built it by himself. He did not. I supervised. There was orange soda involved.

Weโ€™ve been designing and building the big event decor for the Fur Ball for years now, and every theme is a new excuse to make something enormous. Fairytale year might be my favorite. Look at the little crowns on the dog and cat. LOOK AT THEM.

If your event needs a centerpiece people actually stop and take pictures with, thatโ€™s what we do. Signage, backdrops, step-and-repeats, oversized props, the works.
