Eye On Irwin. Veteran producer John Irwin's recently formed Irwin Entertainment has a new identity package via Creative Group Design — which specializes in motion graphics — in a collaboration with era//404 Creative Group.
"Since Irwin Entertainment is a newly formed company, our aim was to create a strong identity that evoked a sense of excitement while reinforcing the company name," says Creative Group Design CD Gary Keenan. "The identity has to work across all media and be quickly recognizable." After producing an on-air identity, Keenan collaborated with era//404 to develop a stationery system and a business card design. "We wanted the stationery to have the same energetic impact that John Irwin's work is known for," says era//404's Don Citarella (Irwin's recent projects include NBC’s Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks show, Bad Boys of Comedy for Paramount, and Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry for HBO). With "strong type applied positively and reversed on both sides of all printed material," each piece is intended to "incorporate the excitement of the brand and provide the recipient with a surprise when turning over the cards, opening the envelopes and unfolding the letterhead."
