DiHOME Furniture Outlet.

My good friend JC, has just embarked on his own Business adventure opening up a furniture outlet store in Houston, Texas! And as a childhood friend I happily helped him out with Shop logo and Business card design.

He wanted a simplistic modern look, and through a bit of "ping ponging" we came out with these results.

Good luck bro!
