TripTarp
TripTarp is a multi-purpose tarp for organizing gear for backcountry adventures. It makes trip planning simple.
At first we were simply approached to create a logo, but we were so excited about the idea that we offered to help redesign the entire product, marketing and merchandise, and ultimately designed and executed a (successful) Kickstarter campaign.

TripTarp began as a simple but clever idea: a lightweight camp tarp doubling as a comprehensive gear list. We loved the idea, and jumped at the opportunity to make it better.
We began by playing with endless new ways to organize lots of objects on a flat rectangle.
We organized the gear into 8 essential categories anchored by a comprehensive gear list.
The packing area is broken into loose "Flex-Zones" to stage your gear before heading into the wild.
The best outdoor gear should serve multiple purposes.

We wanted the brand to be confident and simple, so we paired a minimal, evocative mark with a memorable typeface.
The packaging needed to match the brand's values, so we designed a reusable "stuff sack" made out of Tyvek.
Finally, we created and executed a successful Kickstarter campaign. Here's the video we directed and produced:
