Malley Design

Real Midwesterners recognize other Midwesterners like a sixth sense. Hiking out of the Grand Canyon, Jesse Mitchell crossed paths with a fellow Midwesterner, shared a few pleasantries, and walked away with a phrase: Midwest is the Best West. Best West Apparel was born.

@TweetsByTBI Thanks for the share!

Gotta make it move these days.

During our rebrand process, RD 1 our whole team ran with it, and crafted some truly phenomenal work. Stuff you hate to leave on the cutting room floor. So here's a peek.

See it in action: malley.design

We’re proud to be part of the Northeast Minneapolis business community, and a few elements of the new identity reflect the neighborhood we’re in. And a few hand-drawn elements are sprinkled throughout. Because our work is by people, with people, for people.

One day, you give your tennie runners a half-distracted look when it hits you. They’re well-worn (old). They’re well-loved (chewed up). And they don’t fit who you are anymore. That was us with our brand. So we chose to walk through our own rebrand process.

It started with a thrift couch office and a dream of doing design for a living. A few decades later, we’ve traded in the couch for a team of makers and chasers focused on your brand. We wouldn’t be here without ‘em, and there’s nobody else we’d rather run with.

Most Core Values get watered down and workshopped to death until they’re destined to collect dust on your website. Not planning to let that happen to our new ones: Strategy > Steps Excellent > Easy Synergy > Siloes Ideas > Ego Journeys > Line Items

Malley Design's 20th birthday is actually today. Stay tuned as we roll out our rebrand the rest of this week, but in the meantime, we’ll take all your birthday wishes and mid-00s references in the comments ...
