It’s no secret that Atomicdust is bit barbecue-crazed. So when Rockwood Charcoal asked us to add some fresh flavor to their branding, we were all fired up.

When our friends at Hip & Gable Interiors needed a new website, we were happy to lend a hand. As interior designers, they had already built their sense of design style—we wanted to build a website to match.
To start, the Hip & Gable site uses simple, elegant design mixed with surprises of color to show off the company’s design capabilities. The site is responsive and stays true to Hip & Gable’s clean and sophisticated design style as it adjusts to any screen. Read more about our website design work for Hip and Gable.

As you may know, we recently wrapped up a naming, branding and collateral project for Anders, a St. Louis CPA firm. Today, the work was featured on Fast Company’s design website, Co.Design.
Here’s a little of what Co.Design had to say about our work:
The official logomark is a sleek, translucent triangle that spins off of the A in Anders. A gradient library of colors change depending on context. That, plus a friendly-looking new website, makes the whole company seem fairly approachable--no small feat for an industry that many of only think about when we absolutely have to.
Fast Company is widely recognized as one of the leading business publications in the world. Its mission is to inspire readers to think beyond traditional boundaries, lead conversation and create the future of business.
We’re big fans of their design website, Co.Design, which highlights the world’s best examples of design and innovation. It’s an incredible honor to see our work on a site that recognizes the importance of design in business. The site is on our must-read-daily list, and is often our go-to source for the latest news and inspiration.

Last Thursday was the 2013 ADDY Awards, presented by Ad Club St. Louis - an opportunity to mix, mingle and, most importantly, celebrate the great marketing and design work in St. Louis from the past year.
Atomicdust was nominated for nine awards, and was honored with three Gold ADDY Awards for the St. Louis Children's Annual Report, St. Louis Design Week Website and Atomicdust Intern Recruitment Video.
St. Louis is home to many talented individuals and agencies, and it was evident that night that as a city, we are producing outstanding work. St. Louis is proving that you don’t have to be on either coast to produce creative, award-worthy marketing and advertising. Some of the other big winners were Rogers Townsend, HLK Agency, Hoffman | Lewis and our Midtown neighbors, TOKY Branding + Design. It was an impressive showing by some of the best and brightest creative minds in the city.
We want to extend a special thanks to Ad Club St. Louis, David Johnson at Coolfire Media, and all of the sponsors for putting together the ADDY Awards and ADDY Week STL, and Plush for hosting us.
Check out a complete list of our award-winning work from the 2013 Addy Awards:

When you think “tool and die manufacturer” the first words that pop into your head probably won’t be “modern” or "high tech.” In most cases, you’d be right. But not if you were talking about Atomicdust client, formerly known as Homeyer Tool and Die.
They came to us looking for a new identity and website to reflect the changing nature of their business. Sure, tool and die work has been the foundation of their company and will always be part of their operation. But it’s dwindling. And they’ve smartly responded by shifting to precision manufacturing for some very demanding industries, like healthcare, military, aviation and energy.

Cats have nine lives. Hell has nine circles. Ferris Bueller was absent from school nine times in one semester.
But here at Atomicdust, we’re celebrating the number nine for a whole different reason: our work on nine different projects was nominated for an 2013 ADDY award.
Our ADDY nods include:
First of all, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank our clients for the trust and freedom to do good work. We’re proud of the work we do for you, and honored to be recognized alongside some of the most creative and talented firms in St. Louis.
We look forward to celebrating with everyone at the ADDY Awards on Thursday, Feb. 21 at Plush, just down the road from our office.

Atomicdust was recently chosen to design and develop a site for Yurbuds, a brand of water- and sweat-proof sport earphones that won’t fall out of your ears during exercise. (The sound they produce is pretty great, too.)
Here’s the twist: we’ve tackled this project before.
In 2011, Atomicdust designed the marketing portion of the Yurbuds site. This time around, we went bigger, creating the front end design, integrating a content management system, enabling the easy transfer of sales to distributors, and revamping the e-commerce experience. Our design transformed a landing page with several horizontal “sections” into a full-blown site with dedicated pages for each product.
The result? The largest sales e-commerce site we've ever done.

Atomicdust was asked once again to get crafty for St. Louis Children's Hospital following the success of the organization's 2012 annual report.
The direct mail piece called “Trystan’s Camp Out” tells the story of one child's experience during a year at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Trystan is a 9-year-old who loves the great outdoors, and the theme of her booklet was “MORE camping trips” - a callback to the “MORE” theme of the annual report.
