Animations have a way of making impact visible. That's exactly what this project called for.

The Hudson Area Chamber of Commerce & Tourism Bureau is an advocate, a promoter, and a connector for local businesses, and its impact touches more people than most realize. Motion design gave us a way to show the full scope of that story: simply, clearly, and with energy.

As proud Chamber members ourselves, this one hit a little closer to home. Looking to make your story visible? Let's talk: Think-CC.com

A grocery store owned by the community it serves.

That’s the vision behind the Frederic Grocery Coop keep food accessible, affordable, and connected to local producers in northwestern Wisconsin.

We partnered with this passionate group of residents to build a brand that reflects that shared ownership and purpose. Because when a community invests in itself, the impact goes far beyond the shelves.

Crooked Plow Farms isn’t just growing popcorn; they’re doing it their own way.

Carefully harvested, hand-packed, and sold exclusively in Wisconsin, with a proprietary process that creates a lighter, more flavorful snack. But on crowded local shelves, that story wasn’t coming through.

So we started where customers do, standing in the aisle. Studying what blended in and what broke through. Then we designed a brand identity that reflects what makes this farm special: bright, airy, and unmistakably local.

Because when your product pops, your brand should too.

Rebranding isn’t just about a new name; it’s about honoring what’s been built while creating space for what’s next.

We had the opportunity to partner with the Wisconsin chapter of ASCD as they evolved into Wisconsin Teaching and Learning Leaders (WiTALL), a name that reflects both their impact and their ambition.

Across Wisconsin, educators at every stage of their journey have been lighting the way for students, schools, and communities. WiTALL builds on that legacy—fueling bold ideas, creating meaningful connections, and championing practices that spark real change.

The identity brings that vision to life through a simple but powerful idea: A torch, shaped from the state of Wisconsin itself. It’s a symbol of:
🔥 Igniting excellence
📍 Deep roots in Wisconsin
⚡ Momentum, innovation, and forward movement

With a bold, energizing color palette and angular forms, the brand reflects a community that isn’t standing still; it’s leading, evolving, and pushing what’s possible in education.

Because when educators are empowered, everything changes.

February is always a big month for us (if you didn't know) because we're supporting one of our favorite events – Deluxe Exchange!

Bringing an event brand to life across an entire experience takes more than a single moment of design—it takes alignment, consistency, and a little reinvention each year.

That challenge is what we love - we reset, refresh, and reimagine the event’s visual language while keeping it rooted in the larger Deluxe brand.

From updating the brand guidelines, to developing social, web, and video graphics, to creating this year’s merch logo, and designing the onsite brand and directional assets—every element worked together to create a cohesive experience.

Our team is grateful for the partners who help bring it all together—and especially for the continued collaboration with our amazing clients at Deluxe.

This year, CC celebrates 24 years in business and 15 of them in our 1880s church studio. And as our team has evolved to work primarily remotely, with nearly all client meetings now virtual, we’re entering a new chapter!

That means our amazing, inspiring, historic studio is ready for its next team.

For 15 years, this space has helped us with strategic thinking, brand launches, leadership gatherings, and yes — a few legendary Halloween tours. (Harry Potter, Stranger Things, etc.) We’ve carefully enhanced the space while preserving its architectural integrity and historic character

Properties like this rarely come to market, especially ones that blend distinctive heritage with functional office space. So, friends, if you know of a business looking for a one-of-a-kind headquarters or professional office environment, we’d love for you to share.

We want a new group to love the space as much as we have and know it's more than a building, it's a piece of community history: https://homestoryvisuals.hd.pics/900-4th-St

A big thank you to our property partners through the years:
C&T Siding & Windows for the amazing siding, doors, and windows - awesome team! You truly elevated the exterior while preserving our history.

JWC Electric LLC for keeping our lights bright through the years and answering the calls when we needed you!

Countryside Plumbing & Heating, Inc. for being solution-driven in a very old building! You made the space better time and time again.

The Toyota Outfitters winter collection is officially out, and we’re already deep into the spring edition!

Last fall, this work started with 2026 concepts and a week of art-directed product and model photography. From there, it moved into merchandise copy and landed as a print piece that has deployed across the country.

Big projects don’t happen all at once. They’re built step by step, season by season... and we love being part of the full journey. ❤️ 🚙✨

For this sales kick-off event, the challenge was clear: how do you bring momentum, energy, and connection to a fully virtual experience?

Our answer: All In for the Win.

This bold theme, with a subtle nod to the Winter Olympics, was built around Deluxe brand blues and a stylized torch symbolizing momentum in motion, whether on screen or in hand.

From event branding and internal team templates to a fully branded experience kit, this project was about fueling teams—not just informing them. Because when teams feel energized, aligned, and inspired, they don’t just attend an event; they show up ready to win.

Proud of this work and the collaboration behind it. 💙🔥

It's essential to take time to recharge, spend quality time with family and friends, and get cozy. 🕯️ 📚 ☕

Team CC has a great holiday tradition of closing the last several days of the year. In these last few days of our year, we'd like to share a little Hygge with all of you:

What do Hygge and Christiansen commonly share?
A Danish beginning - that’s quite a pair!

Hygge’s a concept that’s worth a good look;
it’s cozy and warm with candles and books.

Happiness is found in moments so small,
sometimes with others, or none at all.

Start planning your Hygge at home or with friends,
find those small moments before the year ends!

Happy Hygge Holiday from Team CC!
