Studiobanks has recently uprooted our studio and moved closer to Uptown Charlotte, opening a new office in Southend’s CITISPACE building. The need to be closer to the center of the Charlotte design community spurned the move. Photos Here
We are excited to announce Studiobanks has picked up 8 Addy awards from the Charlotte Ad Club for various projects completed last year. The awards ceremony will be held March 9th here in Charlotte. We'll fill you in on the specifics of the awards following the ceremony. In other news, Studiobanks has won the contract to aid Opera Carolina in developing its online presence for the 2006-2007 season. The finished product, which will aim at educating visitors about the opera as well as inspiring them to attend, will launch this spring.
Charlotte, NC needs a spa that doesn't confine itself to cookie-cutter standards and outmoded design. In March 2006, Urbana Cityspa & Teabar will open its doors and offer up a truly modern twist on massage and tea. Studiobanks is excited to help bring this unique space to the Charlotte area. We recently completed work on the Urbana brand and website, which allows visitors to completely immerse themselves in the Urbana experience. Early next year we will launch an ad campaign in area publications to spread the word about the grand opening.
Studiobanks is proud to announce the completion of two new projects. The Bamboo Room, a singular, blues club located in Lake Worth, FL, serves up authentic blues music five days a week. To help promote and highlight their events, the site includes a jukebox filled with Bamboo Room regulars, fully-manageable calendar, full drink menu and photo tour. Studiobanks also finished a portfolio-based site and logo redesign for Cox Group, a PR firm located in Mooresville, NC. The site showcases the company's wide-ranging abilities and extensive body of work.
We haven't posted any updates in a while, but we've been so hard at work on new projects we haven't stopped long enough to realize it (until now). However, I bet if you check the portfolio, you'll probably see something you haven't seen before.
On February 18th, 2005, Studiobanks won its first two awards in the company’s three-year history, taking home two Addy’s from the Charlotte Ad Club’s annual Addy Awards Show. The awards ceremony, held in the McGlohon Theatre of Spirit Square in Uptown Charlotte, boldly introduced Studiobanks to the Charlotte advertising and design community.
This weekend Studiobanks picked up two Addy Awards from the Charlotte Ad Club: a silver for our Steelroots media kit and a gold for our MediaComm website. To commemorate our first awards as a company, we held a little celebration with friends at the Fox & Hound in Uptown Charlotte. For those who missed the event, here's a photo album from the night. We'd like to send out a big "thanks" to everyone who came out to celebrate with us.
In February of 2002, inside a small office building in South Charlotte, Banks Wilson started on a quest to build his own design firm aimed at “Redesigning Communication.” After realizing agency work wasn’t for him, Wilson knew starting his own firm was a logical choice and Studiobanks was born.
Wilson attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte concentrating his studies in graphic design. Upon graduation in the spring of 2001, Wilson felt his talents were underutilized working in a corporate environment.
We worked hard to get the new version of the Studiobanks website up and running for the first of the year. So, we hope you enjoy the new look, as it's just an indication of our big plans for this year. Happy New Year!
Earlier in the year, we created a logo for a new restaurant opening in Asheville, North Carolina, by the name of Stone Ridge Tavern. This month, we finished up their lunch and dinner menus in time for their soft opening. We look forward to attending the grand opening in January next year and trying some of the food we stared at for weeks. Stop by and complement them on their logo and menus if you're in the Asheville area.
