Mahogany Elephant

This is an identity created for my friend Bryon. He's a landscape designer trying to launch his own business. Bryon told me about how elephants in the South American rain forests feed on the leaves and plants and return seeds to the earth (filled with rich nutrients!) propagating the huge mahogany trees that canopy the forest.

So far this a purely conceptual idea, but I loved the story and had to create something. Ideally, this would be a circular business card. He could then attach seeds, leaves or flowers in glassine envelopes to the back of the card. That would give his potential clients a tactile sensory memory of his business.

His number is on this piece so if you need some gardening or landscaping, CALL HIM. He's hilarious and kind and the ultimate professional. mghnyelefant@yahoo.com
