We design awesome stuff to help companies make a resounding, earth-shaking, unsettling impact in their world. Brands, print, online, moving or still - it can all be awesome!

We help businesses communicate their message to reach their customers. Sure, lightning is what we all see, but THUNDER is the thing that resonates in our soul. We design and create awesome stuff that's grounded in strategy and careful intent.

Our core service is centred around visual communications. We essentially become your in-house design team without that ongoing overhead. What sets Square Thunder apart is that we deliver big agency creativity and ideation, wrapped up in personalized hands-on attention. We work with businesses like yours to improve your presence and grow your brand, which ultimately leads to greater sales and higher revenue. 

I've been fiddling with AI-generated artwork over the holidays. Is the design profession at risk too? This is cool stuff!

May your days be merry & bright! And cheers to an awesome 2023 🥃

It's a big bummer that @graystonebrewing found themselves behind the proverbial 8-ball with a big business that claims ownership of the word "Patagonia". Now a groovy #craftbrewery in #fredericton is forced to drop their use of the name of their flagship pale ale and IPA. It's a perfect opportunity for a well-thought (and thoroughly-researched) #rebranding exercise.

Dear #brewers
Engage an experienced #brand #designer and seek qualified #trademark counsel when you're cooking up a new #beer. It will save you loads of headaches, heartache, and money.

Went for a fall bike ride with @my_purple_gardens and stopped at @halfcutbrewing to #gethalfcut. Tasty craft brews at the other end of North-side Fredericton!

Devil's Keep Distillery makes some of Fredericton's best spirits! (not to mention, that snazzy box design 😎 )

Many celebrities have their name on products in the #SpiritsIndustry. Ryan Reynolds has Aviation Gin, Bryan Cranston and Aaron paul founded Dos Hombres Mezcal, and Teremana Tequila was founded by Dwayne The Rock Johnson.

I often like to imagine what some other celebrity spirits brands might look like. When the town of Hope, British Columbia recently celebrated the 40th anniversary of Sylvester Stallone's Rambo: First Blood, my creative wheels started turning.

With apologies to the keepers of the Diageo and Johnnie Walker Marketing Code, I'm excited to present a mockup of the incredibly elite "Johnnie R."

We're mixing up something new at Square Thunder!
Think of it as the "Doug Demuro" of the spirits industry. Starting on 2.2.22, I'll be doing brand reviews and tastings of craft spirits and beverages. First, I'll explore the brand, the labelling, the artwork and tell you all about its quirks and features. Then I'll get it in a glass and tell you how it tastes.

Now accepting donations from boutique distilleries and craft breweries. Email aaron@squarethunder.com for details.

Or you can contribute to the samples fund here:
