Fried Design Company

Big time bringing home a gold addy for our Missouri Cryptid deck series with @thespringfieldskatepark . We’ve been sponsoring Skate Camps for kiddos at the park for a while now and these decks really seal the deal. Swipe thru for some process and details. . . . #illustration #skateboarding #digitalart #skatedeck #procreateart

GOLD Addy Award for @tanglefoottx ! We had a blast putting this thing together with @discovertemple and @soundskilzproductions . One of our favorite music fest projects we’ve done yet. . . #branddesign #musicfestival #countrymusicfestival #illustration #musicindustry

That’s 3 years in a row for FDC taking home Best In Show at @aafheartland ADDY Awards. This time with @alchemycider . Love this work and these folks. . . . #branddesign #cider #illustration #packaging #labeldesign

And QUALITY is our #1 focus because we know your art and hard work matter! Hit us up! 👊 #screenprinting #castironprintworks #merch #work

DID YOU KNOW?! Our print shop’s momma is @frieddesignco ? That’s right. Same building, professional branding and designs for all your merch needs and beyond. Unlike other shops, this allows us to have FULL control of your order to make sure we exceed your expectations and respect your vision . This week though, catch the crew at @cropcons flexing their muscles and expanding their knowledge beyond belief. 🤘

Crop is NEXT WEEK!!! Hot damn. Even hotter is this year’s There Will Be Bleed poster. Our @frieddesignco fam COOKED with this year’s design. Look at that thing?!? It’ll be lovingly, carefully, and tenderly printed by our @industryprintshop fam during our closing party. Make sure you grab one (they’re FREE!). Your walls deserve it. See y’all soon. 🤠

It’s time for a glow up. As we’ve grown over the last 8 years, we’ve seen a whole boatload of change in the industry. In how the economics of our clients verticals function, in what constitutes good (and human made) work, views on hot dogs, etc. Most importantly, we’ve seen some changes in ourselves. When I (@jsully ) started Fried in 2018, to be completely honest, I just wanted to have a slick little design studio. A maker space. I’d done everything from heavy duty brand strategy work, advertising and marketing, and running events to gig-poster design, but just making cool stuff at the end of the day is what made me happy. It still does, but now in a different way. But, making cool stuff just isn’t enough anymore. Lot’s of questions floated around the idea of “Purpose”. I need more. The studio needs more. Our clients need more. We’ve always been the ones to help - but we just never really positioned ourselves that way. So, in the coming weeks, you’ll start to see a big change in FDC-Land. New lanes driven, new ideas brought to the table, a new brand, and a new position. Internally, we’ve called it FDC 6.0. More on all that later. Until then, here’s a nice reel our pals at @indexvideoproduction helped us put together to highlight some of our favorite projects from the last little bit. . . . #branding #frieddesignco #agencylife #brandagency

The NA beer aisle is having a lil’ bit of a moment. Unfortunately most of the branding still looks like it was designed by a wellness influencer. Bulltown Brewing asked us to build something with a little more backbone. Full brand system. Packaging. Marks. The whole thing. Full Case study coming soonish once this new FDC site is done. NO BAD HANGS, BABY! . . #BrandIdentity #PackagingDesign #BrandDesign #NonAlcoholicBeer

We helped evolve First State Bank of Purdy into @fsbozk to match where the business is headed, not just where it started. New name. New identity. New brand system built to travel. This job is wild. Look, we aren’t traditionally the first choice all the time for financial stuff. Not because we can’t do it, we just have a certain vibe sometimes I guess. Anyway, when folks like this give us a whack at it, we love it. Always fun to stretch the ol corporate design legs and still make something beautiful and effective. We can do it all, people! . . . #branding #brandagency #logo #branddesign #ozarks

Brother, do we love doing work in the sports world. Had an awesome opportunity to team up with the folks over at @ricoinc_ to create a whole suite of National Championship graphics for the NCAA Football Champs this year, which ended up being Indiana in an historic season. When we do these, we actually have to create the program in a real modular way. It needs to be fluid enough to work for any team that wins, so as soon as the game is over, this can go right into production. So we created the program for at least. 10 different teams just to make sure the system worked across the board. Custom type, illustration, little pieces and parts to scale up for something as big as a flag and as little as a key chain. . . . #graphicdesign #ncaafootball #sportsdesign #illustration #branddesign

Love getting to with the @sdcattractions crew. Have some great memories of this ride. Amped as always to see what’s next! . . . #advertising #illustration #graphicdesign #silverdollarcity

Forgot to post this rad lil merch kit we made for @botbmusic last year. Pretty slick lineup too with headliners @chrisstapleton and @keithurban . . #merchdesign #musicfestival #illustration #branding #graphicdesigner
