GRCM Identity System
In December 2010, we wanted to serve our community by donating a major brand overhaul to a local, non-profit organization. Grand Rapids Children’s Museum was the perfect fit for this work. Their focus on child development and creative play outlets were incredibly inspiring to us, and we wanted to give them something back for all of their efforts.
GRCM Shines Brightly in 'Solace'
Grand Rapids Children’s Museum (GRCM) advertises every year in Solace, a semi-annual premier West Michigan magazine. After Icavia was given the opportunity to rebrand the museum, GRCM wanted a fresh new look given to their print advertisements, too.
MyGR6.com Revealed
MyGR6.com is a community-driven experience which invites Grand Rapidians to speak their minds—in only 6 words—about why they love Grand Rapids, Michigan. Though most of the graphic design elements were determined in-house at Amway, Icavia was responsible for the UX design and technical implementation of the digital experience.
Artistry.com
Icavia was recently given the opportunity to refresh Artistry.com, the global brand site for Amway’s flagship cosmetics line.

The Dilemma
While working on the launch of the Icavia.com website, we were committed to fulfilling our creative team’s vision and decided to use embedded fonts with @font-face.

Our Harvest iPhone App is on iTunes
The title says it all. We’ve had several iOS apps in various stages of completion and prototyping for some time, but this is the first chance we’ve gotten to actually go through the submittal and approval process. All in all fairly painless, although the process for distribution certificate signing was less than obvious. The app spent about 5 days in review before being approved.
