A new look for SPIB
As the leader in providing quality assurance standards to the softwood lumber industry, we knew our website, to be unveiled this month, would be more than a digital business card for us. It would become a platform to inform and engage our customers with training and product info, as well as, industry news and events.
We began collaborating with HIP Creative Inc. over a year ago. Several months were spent working on our new branding, logo, color scheme, type treatments and copy, which collectively bring to life the attributes of SPIB: quality, integrity, consistency, commitment, and sustainability.
“HIP’s goal was to give SPIB a fresh look while still embracing their iconic letterforms that stamp pine wood across the world. Using these letterforms we were able to arrange a new mark to carry SPIB into the next 100 years.” – Luke Infinger, Executive Creative Director of HIP Creative Inc.
HIP Creative also designed the look and style of the new SPIB.org.
The development and programming of our new website, completed by BuildingOnline Inc, has been a great collaborative team effort with HIP and SPIB staff that we are proud to share with you!
