POSITIONING: HERITAGE

CONCEPT: Joyce Clyde Hall started Hallmark in 1910 with a mission of connecting people with “social customs” in the form of greeting cards. Since then, the Hallmark has become an institution and “JCH 1910” is a subtle ode to the deep heritage and authenticity of the brand.

POSITIONING: PREMIUM/CELEBRATION

CONCEPT: It’s a special occasion. A really special occasion. It’s a 50th birthday; a 25th anniversary; a college graduation. You need something a little more premium, a little sweeter. With the right ingredients of color, type, and your own photos, you can cook up that special dessert that celebrates the best moments in life.

Taking its name from the famous milk confection “dulce de leche”, this name creates a visual metaphor of taking basic ingredients—milk and sugar—and transforming it into something special as a way of celebration. Using “Letra”—literally, in Spanish, characters that form words—Hallmark has a brand that is decadent, sweet, and homemade.

POSITIONING: MAKE IT SPECIAL

CONCEPT: One of a Card is a play off of “One of a Kind”, a colloquial and catchy name that expresses the rarity and benefit of a completely unique and personalized greeting.

ONE OF A CARD

1 C A R DO F A

Using negative space to create a “cannot unsee” number “1” and the fluttering image of an open card, “1 of a Card” is given a very literal, but modern chic, symbol.

POSITIONING: MAKE IT SPECIAL, CONNECTION

CONCEPT: Ampersend is a metaplasmus (intentional mispelling) of Ampersand, as a verbal metaphor of personalizing connection. Ampersands are used as conjunctions to connect words, sentences and sentence fragments. Changing the “a” in “ampersand” creates a new definition that suggests delivery (“-send”) and reflects the kind of modification, customization, and fabrication of new meaning at the core of the brand.

POSITIONING: FACTORY OF ARTISTS, HANDCRAFTED

CONCEPT: Like the earliest methods of etch-printing in the 15th century, Copperplate is artisanal, premium, and evokes the storied, centuries-old discipline of printmaking that has created some of the most arresting artwork in history. From Albrecht Dürer’s timeless detail to Picasso’s late modern etchings, Copperplate is about celebrating originality, craft and permanence.
