Project Curb Appeal is a community-driven home renovation initiative founded by Megan Demarco and Stacy Santos of ReMax Real Estate. Inspired by HGTV makeover shows, the project renovates home exteriors for families in Erie who need support but cannot afford repairs themselves. Gem City Creative helped develop a brand identity that balanced polished television-style excitement with authentic local appeal. Through strategic logo design, typography, color selection, and promotional graphics, the branding helped create energy around the initiative while staying grounded in the community it serves. The result is a recognizable, uplifting identity that supports awareness, volunteer engagement, and long-term growth.

Scoopin’ Dukes is a subscription-based pet waste removal service built for busy pet owners. The challenge was creating a brand that felt both professional and approachable in an industry that often leans too far in one direction. By embracing the nature of the service instead of avoiding it, we developed a clean, modern identity with a friendly tone. A meaningful mascot, intentional color palette, and clear website structure helped build trust and drive conversions. The result is a brand that feels human, clear, and easy to engage with. This project highlights how strong branding can elevate even the most unexpected services.

Monster Control is a unique service designed to help children face their fears of monsters through imagination, empowerment, and hands-on experiences. However, the company needed a brand identity that balanced playful storytelling with the credibility parents expect from a professional service. Gem City Creative developed a bold yet child-friendly visual identity inspired by real pest control branding. Through a sleek logo, versatile design system, strategic color palette, and a clear long-scroll website, the new brand communicates strength, safety, and imagination. The result is a brand that builds trust with parents while helping children feel confident and brave in their own homes.
