Branding for Schools
September 30, 2019
Behind Your Design recently worked with Brandon Community Schools
Schools. We've all attended them. They are a part of our community. They give us something to rally behind. Most importantly, they prepare our children for the future, theirs and ours. We are familiar with the mascots and the emblems used to represent our schools, but most of us are probably not aware of how much thought and care goes into creating these "brands".
Like any business, schools need a way for people to recognize them that reflects the culture and beliefs of the school. Behind Your Design
took great care when deciding on these details that so many may miss.
- Four Stars - Represents the four buildings in the Brandon School District : Oakwood Elementary , Harvey-Swanson Elementary , Brandon Middleand Brandon High.
- Branches - Homage to the farming heritage of the Brandon School District area.
- Book - Visual representation of the Brandon School District motto, "Everyone has a story to tell".
And though the history of the area and Brandon Schools is an integral part of the Brandon School District , Behind Your Design and Brandon School administration hope the fresh, cohesive designs are equally representative of the bright and soaring futures of Brandon School students.
It was an honor and a pleasure to work with the Brandon School District administrative team, and Behind Your Design hopes for many more opportunities to collaborate in the future!

Bringing Detroit’s Iconic Beverage Distributor to Life: Our Work with Eastown Distributors We recently had the pleasure of partnering with Eastown Distributors, a multi-generational, family-owned business with deep roots in Detroit’s history, on a brand-new website and photoshoot. Our goal was to showcase not only their products but also the legacy and reach of this iconic local company. The photoshoot started at sunrise in downtown Detroit, capturing some of the city’s most prominent locations that Eastown proudly delivers to, including Comerica Park, Fox Theatre, and Ford Field. These early-morning shots highlighted Eastown’s presence in the heart of the city and set the stage for a story that connects the brand to Detroit itself. We also ventured into everyday business operations, photographing merchandisers as they stocked shelves at grocery stores, and visiting independent retailers and neighborhood pubs to show Eastown products in action. This mix of iconic landmarks and real-world environments brought a sense of authenticity to the campaign, illustrating the company’s reach and dedication to its customers. On the digital side, the new website features a BrandFinder tool, making it easy for users to discover which brands Eastown distributes and where to find their favorite beverages. This user-friendly feature ensures that fans of Eastown’s products can quickly locate them, whether at local pubs, grocery stores, or specialty retailers. Working with Eastown was exciting because it allowed us to highlight both the people and the places that make the company such a vital part of Detroit’s beverage landscape. From family legacy to modern operations, this project celebrates everything that makes Eastown Distributors unique, and we’re proud to have brought their story to life online and through photography.

Elevating the Tanglewood Brand At Behind Your Design, we believe good design should do more than just look pretty - it should connect, inform, and support the people it's made for. That’s why partnering with Tanglewood Assisted Living has been such a meaningful project for our team. As a trusted support system for families navigating Alzheimer’s and dementia care, Tanglewood Assisted Living sought refreshed branding that reflected clarity, compassion, and consistency. We were honored to collaborate with them, creating a new logo and marketing materials to help bring their vision to life.
