RSS FeedJump Launches BrandStandards.ca!
Filed under: @Jump, Kevin, Press Releases — Kevin Hemsworth @ 8:52 am
We are proud to announce the official launch of our Online Standards Guide, BrandStandards.ca. Some of our most fortunate clients have already been working with us as we have developed this tool that should bring an end to the printed standards binder; they are already experiencing the freedom from having to struggle to manage their brand development resources amongst suppliers, vendors, and franchisees.
BrandStandards.ca is the portal to two exciting new products: the first, LogoStandards, is aimed at providing an online tool for any business struggling to maintain consistency and support an array of vendors who require access to your brand resources; the second, and arguably more exciting, is AssetStandards, which is designed for expanding retail store owners and Franchisors to efficiently and cost-effectively allow them to provide the tools and resources their franchisees need to maintain brand consistency at the retail level. Gone are the massive binders of retail asset drawings, schedules, and specifications, replaced instead by an online resource that allows your team to access up-to-date files – anytime, from anywhere.
We think you’ll agree that BrandStandards.ca offers you a better way to manage your brand! Call us to find out how we can help you put either LogoStandards or AssetStandards to work for your business.
Taco Bell opens in Dubai Mall
Filed under: Environmental Design, Kevin, Press Releases — Kevin Hemsworth @ 3:52 pm
If you happen to be doing some shopping in Dubai this holiday season, be sure to head to the Dubai Mall to check out the new Taco Bell. Today’s grand opening marks the first Taco Bell franchise in Dubai, and consumer reception has been fantastic. Since opening this morning queues have been consistently more than 10 deep, and consumer feedback has been fantastic. This “soft opening” has generated a great deal of buzz for the franchise, in spite of the fact that less than 20% of the mall is open.
Jump worked with Yum Restaurants International to develop menuboards for this new flagship franchise. Click here to see more of our environmental design work.
Kellogg targets younger audience with new All-Bran
Filed under: Kevin, Packaging Design, Press Releases — Kevin Hemsworth @ 1:05 pm
The kid in you might just find something old that’s new again on the shelf in your local supermarket. The new All-Bran packaging, developed by Jump in partnership with Kellogg Canada, puts a new spin on fibre, and was designed to attract a more youthful demographic to the brand. New flavours and formats are all part of the repositioning by Kellogg, which we were extremely excited to be a part of. The new packaging designs hit the shelves in the Summer of 2008.

Ontario Wine of the Year features Jump Design
Filed under: Kevin, Packaging Design, Press Releases — Kevin Hemsworth @ 3:19 pm
The 2002 First Frost Last Grape American Oak-Aged Vidal icewine by Maleta Estate Winery won a gold medal in its category at the 2007 Ontario Wine Awards; but it didn’t stop there. It went on to be named the Ontario Wine of the Year, compiling the highest aggregate score out of 355 Ontario Wine entries in 24 categories, representing 57 wineries. The award is presented by the Ontario Tourism Marketing Partnership Corporation, and is one of the highest honours an Ontario wine can win.
First Frost Last Grape is the fourth Jump label design for Maleta, who engaged Jump shortly after the company’s inception in 2004 to develop packaging for three distinct wine tiers. It was designed in the fall of 2005 in anticipation of the bottling of the 2002 varietal. Jump was responsible for creating both a name and a label for the icewine, and credit the team at Maleta for being open to experimentation with their packaging. We realize that for a relatively small winery to be so innovative with their packaging is a big risk, but Daniel Pambianchi and his group have been quick to dismiss more traditional design in favour of a more innovative, contemporary style. It really sets their packaging apart from their competition says Jump Director of Communications Kevin Hemsworth. We are proud of our role in the success of First Frost Last Grape, and would like to congratulate everyone at Maleta on this accomplishment.
