Just shot some photos of recent work at The Americana at Brand.

Amalgamated designed some additional signage for the Jewel City Diner, an old school neon hamburger window sign and a new deco style menu cabinet.

Also recently installed was an awning design for the playground area to shield the equipment from the sun.

The Jewel City Diner, located at The Americana at Brand, has recently been awarded the 2009 Superior Achievement in Design and Imaging Award in the Fast/Casual Dining category. This honor is bestowed on those who have successfully balanced form and function to create retail environments that fulfill the needs of the consumer while stirring the imagination. The Jewel City Diner will be showcased in the September issue of Retail Traffic.

Amalgamated Studios is proud to have participated in this design with Caruso Affiliated and FER Studios.

Also of note is the fact that the “dessert waitress” logo designed for the Jewel City Diner menus has been selected to be printed in an upcoming book by Logo Lounge, a premier logo design publication and website!

Following in the tradition of the great album covers of the 50’s, I illustrated this for the Hamilton High School Vocal Jazz Ensemble. They had the honor of performing at the 52nd Monterey Jazz Festival. The illustration represents the 15 voice choir and the trio.
