Top Hat Honored with 3 Juried Show Entries at 2017 AIGA PGH365

AIGA Pittsburgh’s Annual Design Competition and Exhibition — or PGH365 as it’s known on the street — is a “celebration of the designer’s struggle and success in finding solutions that are effective, meaningful and beautiful.”

Selected entries demonstrate the designer’s role and process and the value of design to the community.

This year, three of our works were selected by the jury to be featured in the show, which was hosted at Spirit Pittsburgh.

• Brand identity design for Diamonds2 (check it out)
• Website design and development for Diamonds2 (check it out)
• Brand identity design for the Pittsburgh International Auto Show Impact of the Auto Show Campaign (check it out)

The Low-Down on Diamonds2

Diamonds2 is a cutting-edge jewelry brand that uses grown diamonds. Grown diamonds are identical to mined diamonds in every way. The only difference is the source. We used to brand identity design to empower this startup to stand toe-to-toe with luxurious competitors, while also differentiating itself with its economical and environmental-friendly benefits.

The Low-Down on the Impact of the Auto Show

Our first and longest-running client, we helped the Pittsburgh International Auto Show turbocharge its sponsorship efforts with the Impact of the Auto Show campaign. We researched and calculated the total annual impressions the show achieves to present a compelling message to sponsors. The rubber met the road with a comprehensive brand identity and interactive web experience.
