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.

Check out the great life drawing workshop at Ben and Jennifer’s Studio in Los Feliz.

The Sportsmen’s Lodge has been a San Fernando Valley landmark for decades, and Amalgamated Studios is participating in the update/remodel of the facility. The mid-century cool references are being highlighted on the property, and subsequently in the new identity. The new logo gives us the feeling of when the “valley” was a suburban getaway from the hustle of Los Angeles.

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!

Michael Sharpe Rare and Antiquarian Books targets high end sophisticated buyers. Also they are located in a historic Pasadena Craftsman building, contributing to the overall feeling. The design solution is an Arts and Crafts font treatment, flat cut and mounted on a smooth limestone slab. The grain in the limestone (hand picked at the stone yard) contrasts beautifully with the forest green and copper of the letters and frame.

Wasteland and Diavolina sell clothing, shoes and accessories in a more typical store front retail environment. Wasteland is targeting the hip used clothing market, and Diavolina is more high end fashion. These two identities were provided to Amalgamated and we just helped with the colors and materials.

Amalgamated Studios had the unique opportunity to design the concept graphics package for Universal Studios Singapore, as shown in the rendering above. More photos are on the Resort World Sentosa website (rwsentosa.com) along with additional information about the park.

More images will be posted as construction progresses.

Attached are a couple of pages of my sketchbook, from the zoo and history museum.
