Dove and Axe Endcap Displays for Walmart

When Unilever approached branding/communications firm, TFI Envision, it was to create the end cap graphics for two of their premier personal care brands: AXE and Dove. As these end caps were Walmart specific, our approach was a clean, straightforward design that communicates AXE and Dove branding, as well as Walmart’s mandatory messaging which incorporates Soundcheck, (A digital downloading service), Save Money and Live Better. We reinforced brand identity with strong positioning making Walmart’s indoor real estate that much more valuable. Using vibrant colors and sleek design, offering high visibility and visual impact, these displays can be found in your local Walmart store.

The Connecticut Art Directors Club presented its 35th Annual CADC Awards on June 17th at The Boathouse, Hartford, CT. This was the first time the show was held at this venue (and we hope not the last). It was a beautiful evening to celebrate some of the finest design work in the state. TFI Envision received two Awards of Excellence, both for The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.

The first piece selected was the Cirque de la Mer logo, created for The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk’s Red Apple Dinner event.
The second piece was the invitation to The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk’s Red Apple Dinner event. We created a custom, tent shaped die-cut invitation to illustrate the unusual setting for this year’s event, which was held outside under a huge tent.
We are proud to have been included in this select
group of winners.

Meerkats at the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk

without comments

A fun, new, educational exhibit has just opened at the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk featuring a group of Meerkats. You can literally ‘pop in’ to see them by stepping into a domed space that is within the exhibit, giving you a more up close and personal view. Also featured are other animals and fish from Africa and lots of good information to help you understand more about this fascinating continent and its inhabitants.

TFI Envision, Inc. has been a long time supporter of the Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk. We believe that this wonderful institution has brought new life to Connecticut and this region. Though the focus of this institution is Long Island Sound, they continue to bring new and exciting exhibits from around the world. Hope that you can stop by to enjoy this wonderful place soon!

A family of meerkats, one of Africa’s most entertaining species, will burrow into visitors’ hearts in this new special exhibit.
