North Lawrence, Kansas is a historic community with a long history of small business, entrepreneurship, and a high level of mixed uses. When faced with the possibility of an outsize, corporate development, the community searched for ways to show this history.

Circle 7 Management Branding
Circle 7 Management is a start-up music management company located in Nashville, Tennessee. The owner knew he needed an identity that would continue to be relevant even as his brand new company grew and changed.
