Like the logo design, each one of

us also has the ability to reflect

truth and the fondness of life back

into ourselves and one another. As

we stand tall, our embodied facets

are joined depending on each

other, sharing a wide colorful

spectrum of wisdom, knowledge,

compassion and gratitude—

unifying and celebrating the pure

qualities of hope."

From the inception of the company, the

wrench has been one the company's

most important product lines.

Incorporating the open-end wrench

within the "S" symbolizes history, hard

work, determination, and the working

professional. For over 20 years, the

company logo design has had a strong

grip on the high quality tool industry.

The brand represents "Tools that

inspire".

Cascio researched and studied

the rich tradition of The Country

Club, concentrating on what made

the club such a treasure. Proudly

known to many, over one hundred

species of trees are sprinkled

across the acres, each showing

their individuality. The golf course

marketing logo depicts a maple

leaf, a linden leaf, and an oak leaf.

The gold-leaf design creates a

lively dance around a birch leaf,

shown in the negative space. The

logo captures the communication

of nature, individuality, wholeness,

life, and choices.

The compass rose

graphic was created

to give the

Southport Bank logo

a unique and

memorable nautical

image. Reflecting on

its position on Lake

Michigan, the design

also gives the

presence of

direction and focus.

The diagonal lines

passing through,

simulates a feeling

of movement and a

sense of place.

Chef Mantuano consulted former "Mangia"

restaurant identity designer Stephen Cascio

to create a restaurant logo that would

compliment his new atmosphere. Looking

into the artform of the Mediterranean,

mosaic seemed a natural and playful way of

blending the name with the region.

TuttaPosto....."everything in its place!"

The Playmaker sport logo was

designed to give fluent leadership

motion to its brand's personality—

reaching across many nationalities that

play and enjoy the game of basketball.

A fashion designer logo

with a touch of

european influence, a

soft natural pose

gracefully frames a

profile of a women's

face, centering your

attention on her

features. “Sophisticated

and elegant, it's an

brand image that's

luring and complimentis

a women's natural

beauty.” replied Cascio.
