A 17-Day Brand Discovery Journey
In December 2008, Indianapolis creative agency Gerardot & Co. and videographer Larry Ladig set out on a 17-day mission to explore and document the lesser known “Out Islands” of the Bahamas.
As part of an ongoing branding and awareness campaign to promote tourism, our goal was to tell the true story of the Bahamas Out Islands from people that had never heard of, let alone explored, the Bahamas Out Islands. Luckily, the talent we hired (Kevin Oestenstadt and Jennifer Fox) couldn’t have been a better choice. Not only had they never been to the Out Islands, they were truly awestruck when they experienced it up close and personally.
With little more than a loose script and a crazy flight schedule, our team hopped from island to island for a grueling, but incredibly enriching experience. These HD videos chronicle our island adventures.

04.05.11 | A new logo won’t bring more customers.
You might be surprised to hear this, especially from a designer. Your new logo design won’t bring you more customers. A clever new tagline won’t bring more visitors to your city. Not even a new logo and tagline together (no matter how creative) will convince a customer or business decision maker to spend money with [...]

Smart paper choices can help save the environment and save your budget. Ten years ago, I wouldn’t have given it a second thought, but once you understand the impact that even a single product catalog like this one has on the environment (above and beyond the number of trees you’re killing) the math is difficult to ignore.

When I first saw the redesign of the Caribou Coffee logo, I was pleasantly surprised. And then I read the official press release. It just goes to show you, some things are better left unsaid.

Authentic Bahamas Writes:
Good work. We’re always pleased to see marketing campaigns that support the Out Islands. There is a richness in the Bahamas that Nassau alone does not convey.
