Design Rangers cook up a fresh identity for Chef Corey Wilson

Chef Corey Wilson has been a friend of the Design Rangers for many, many years. I worked with him a whole lifetime ago at the Stagecoach Inn, and Chris and I would run into him occasionally at the Blue Star (as he was responsible for creating thousands of fabulous menu items). Most recently, we kept seeing him in the produce section at our local King Soopers. We knew he was up to something, as at each of our run-ins with him he weighed less (and less) and seemed happier (and happier).

What happened is: Chef Corey Wilson began to use what he knows about food and apply it to his life. He began cooking himself up lots of amazing, fresh, healthy meals – backed by a dedication to working out on a regular basis and wallah! Corey has lost 60+ pound to date. What an amazing life transformation!

Chef Corey is now taking what he knows about food – and what he has learned on his journey – and providing nutritious and budget friendly in-home cooking services in the greater Colorado Springs area. His customized and fully prepared meals provide clients with a healthier and affordable alternative to eating out. You can save time and eat well – am I in Heaven? (Chris and I have had the pleasure of taste testing a few of Chef Corey’s creations. One word: YUM.) BONUS: He also provides cooking classes (in the form of FUN) and dinner parties.

Where Design Rangers come in: Corey asked us to design his logo, business cards and web site. He wanted to feel to be friendly (he is also known as “A Personable Chef“), fun, affordable, and healthy. Here is what we cooked up…

Logo: Lots of “Chef-y” research led us to the fork icon – because really, it all comes down to eating!

Business Card: After a great photo shoot with Joel Strayer we were inspired to incorporate a photo on the back of the business card. The problem was there were so many great shots – which one to choose? Decided it was better NOT to choose and designed 4 different cards for Chef Corey – each with a different fork color that complements the photo on the back. Here are a couple of our favorites:

Yellow

Red

Designing chefcoreywilson.com is the next step – but in the meantime check out facebook.com/chefcoreywilson and twitter.com/ChefCoreyWilson!

Your next step: Consider hiring Corey to cook you up some amazing meals to throw in your freezer -it might change your life too!

    Incredible work as always. The photos tell a story on each card. I was going talk to you guys about something similar for us, but our reps like a blank backs on which to write notes. Love the added dimension the photos add.

    Thank you Matt! We were lucky to be able to work with a great photographer who really captured Chef Corey’s personality. The cards are printed on a really thick, matte stock and are a kind of a collector series now – “Collect all 4!”. Chef trading cards – you never know, it could catch on :)
