THE ADDYS: Banowetz Heavy Metal Evening

On February 18, the whole Banowetz gang went out on the town to the 54th Annual AAF Dallas American Advertising Awards competition, a.k.a. the ADDYs. We got to spend some time hanging with like-minded creatives, eating, drinking, viewing some fantastic work — and the best part: we got to bring home some metal! Here’s a look at our award-winners:

Hot Property: The Ellis Now Leasing

A new resort-style apartment community located in a highly desirable area in Carrollton, Texas, was the subject of a recent branding project at Banowetz + Company. Our challenge was to capture the essence of the Craftsman-style architecture and the modern, yet warm, concept of the property being built by our client, NRP Group. The residences were designed for younger professionals who value a work / life balance and appreciate hand-crafted quality over mass production.

After some hearty research, we proposed names that gave a nod to the architectural style and the Craftsman movement, yet still felt current and contemporary. Once the name “The Ellis” was chosen, we developed a logo, stationery system, a design elements library and one-sheets that we feel beautifully communicate the vibe of the development. You can check out the branding at their new site: LiveTheEllis.com.

Stocks & Bondy: Open for day trading

Last year, Banowetz + Company had the opportunity to work on the positioning, branding and collateral for Stocks & Bondy, a project of chef Joanne Bondy, which recently opened and trades in the kinds of stocks you use for cooking. Stocks & Bondy is a one-of-a-kind offering for Dallas: a restaurant and storefront located in the Dallas Farmer’s Market Shed 2, specializing in freshly prepared stocks, soups and sauces. The new space reflects the hand-crafted, authentic quality of the food, which is prepared using locally sourced, all-natural ingredients. Chef Bondy hopes to replace the low-quality bouillons, boxed broths, and bases filled with salt and preservatives in kitchens all across DFW with her fresher alternatives which not only taste better, but are better for you. 

In addition to the items mentioned above, Stocks & Bondy will also offer pulled pork and chicken, sandwiches, chili and a thoughtfully chosen selection of wines. A quick stop by their new space can have you well on your way to creating a delicious meal at home, or you can dine in, choosing from the “du jour” items. The space is also equipped with a drop-down table suspended from the kitchen ceiling where Chef Bondy will host classes and family-style meals. We encourage you to stop by the space and visit the website to see what’s cooking — you’ll be glad you did.
