Don’t you just love it when Modern meets tradition? Over the years, we’ve seen styles in the fashion industry repeat themselves over and over. Similarly, trends in home decor industry once obsolete have re-surfaced, looking trendier and better! At Chic Pear Designs, we are no exception to this concept. We love bringing tradition back into the mix, but when we do it’s always in a new and exciting way! This latest work of ours brings the richness and tradition of the beautiful African continent with modern and contemporary styles! Just a glimpse of the many styles that we design in…

f you have a website or plan on getting one soon, you may want to consider website buttons if you have not already. Website buttons can help draw your customers’ attention to a particular product, service or inform them of an upcoming event.
For example, as in the picture here, you can use a button to let visiting customers know about an upcoming sale. Now, you could just type the word “Sale” in black or even in a nice color but this just won’t draw the same attention as an image would. Website buttons can also be placed on another company’s website or blog and be linked to your site to drive customers there.
Contact us today at info@chicpeardesigns.com and we’ll happily work with you in creating a website button for different product types, for a promotional event such as a sale or one that summarizes your services.

Logos are a great way to establish your brand! A logo is a symbol or design that represents your company. But in reality, you want it to do more than just that…your logo should represent your brand! When you work with us, we’ll take the time to understand your business so that your brand is represented in the final artwork. This means that in addition to carefully crafting the artwork, we think about the kind of fonts and colors that would identify best with the image you are trying to portray.
Take a look at our logo for example. We wanted to use a symbol that is connected to our name so we designed a pear. A pear has a special meaning for us because it is made up of distinct curves and curves are what artwork is all about. The next step was to stylize it a bit to bring out the vibrant, fun and modern flair associated with our brand. We did that by adding some stylized branches. Next, we selected some colors that would also represent our brand. Blue is associated with expertise which we wanted to embody but we also wanted to show a softer, more vibrant side so we selected Teal. We also selected brown because we wanted to embody the organic nature of our designs. Specifically, organic art pertains to art that uses shapes suggested by elements found in nature. At Chic Pear designs, we pride ourselves with starting all our artwork with a hand-drawn sketch and with designing artwork that is inspired by nature. Elements in nature are varied in colors and shapes and are detailed just like our artwork; brown helped us represent that attribute.
So you see, your logo should and can be used a vehicle for your brand identity. Contact us today at info@chicpeardesigns.com and we can craft a logo that will represent your brand too!

You may have a great product and yet you may have a hard time selling it… Why? Selling is not just about the product, it’s about customer perception! Specifically, customers will generally make decisions based on the product itself, its price, its place of distribution (how readily available it is) and its promotion! And promoting your product is all about perception!
Think about it, if you walk into a store that looks dirty and messy, will you ever want to return to it? Probably not? The same goes for your product, package it and promote with eye-appealing images. We can help you attract new customers by designing promotional packaging or promotional advertisements that elevate the perceived quality of your brand and/or product. Contact us today at info@chicpeardesigns.com and we will happily provide you with a free quote.
