Attended the unveiling of the much anticipated Garden Donor Display that we designed for Telegraph Hill Neighborhood Center / TEL HI.

The center panel was designed with 135 rays, reflecting their 135 year anniversary. The two founders are proudly anchoring the shimmering sun. The entire display is made from Corten Steel, Stainless Steel, Bronze, and Brass. A big thanks to McCarthy Building Companies, Inc. for their attention to detail preparing and on the day of installation.

If you’re ever in San Francisco stop by to appreciate how truly spectacular it looks in person. Especially in the morning when the sun is reflecting and elevates to a whole new level of radiance!

We 🧡 branding + design! We love helping companies with branding and creative. Everyone who has been a part of the Buchanan team the past 30 years shares a deep appreciation for beautiful design, impeccable ex*****on, and memorable experiences. Everything we do is grounded in research, strategy, ideation, and thoughtful ex*****ons to help build brand loyalty for our clients.

Branding is so much more than a logo, website, or a marketing handout. Every brand has a heart, a pulse, and a will to be the best. Regardless of the sector or target audience, we take pride in partnering with companies who appreciate the value of strategic branding. It’s a privilege that we don’t take for granted and still get excited to do, even after three decades!

Buchanan Design opened its doors in 1995, and what began as “let’s give this a try” has become the most rewarding journey we could have imagined.

For three decades, clients have trusted us to tell their stories, execute their marketing strategies, and help shape their brands. That trust has taken us across the country, introduced us to remarkable partners, and allowed us to collaborate with some of the most talented, generous, and creative people in the industry.

To everyone who has hired us, worked with us, supported us, or simply believed in what we do... THANK YOU! You’ve shaped who we are.

Thirty years in, we’re proud of the work behind us, but even more energized by what’s ahead. The next chapter is already unfolding, and we can’t wait to design it with you.

To the next 30!

La Jolla's newest hidden gem... Destiny Coast is officially open!

Nestled on the cliffs off La Jolla Shores Drive, Destiny Coast is a relaxed dining experience with amazing cuisine and 180° views.

The brand was inspired by the majestic Pacific Ocean, native soft corals, and the Garibaldi as a pop of orange. Bobby leveraged his many years of saltwater aquarium experience into this project. We painted a custom watercolor pattern that is used in the logo and various collateral pieces.

You can visit Destiny Coast for lunch or a sunset dinner or gather some friends and meet for brunch on a weekend. Tell them Buchanan sent you! They are located at 8604 La Jolla Shores Drive, La Jolla, CA 92037. For more info and menus, visit destinycoast.com

So much fun to design the brand for the 2025 American Marketing Association San Diego Sandie Awards!

Bobby and Cassidy combined ideas for this years' theme to create a bold and eye-catching brand to contrast the past 2 years. We leaned into the honest truth of awards shows… which is to SHOW OFF! our talents and hard work. We paired fluorescent yellow, kelly green and black, along with a bold identity, making it hard to miss the comprehensive marketing strategy. We updated the trophy we designed with a neon green acrylic accent to be on brand.

And to top it off, we won a Sandie Award for Cause Marketing for the rebrand of Our Military Kids. OMK is a nonprofit that provides grants for children and teens of deployed National Guard, deployed Reserve, or post-9/11 combat wounded, ill, or injured Veterans in treatment. Since the rebrand they have seen an increase in grant applications as well as a wider age range of kids applying! You can learn more about them and consider making a donation at ourmilitarykids.org.

We think everyone loved fully embracing showing off and are eager to do it again next year!

We are still so excited about how awesome the 2025 Sandie Awards turned out! With such an amazing team to collaborate with, it was easy to “show off” all of the hard work that went in behind the scenes. Winning a Sandie for one of our clients was the fluorescent yellow cherry on top of the whole event!
