James Kenneth Koh is an executive search firm specialising in the advertising, media and communication space. James came to ohplay with an open mind, and we responded with a search engine-esque website to communicate the scope of James’ business. Launched in the Chinese New Year of 2010, we released a special version of the main logo to celebrate the festive season and also 4 lucky numbers for all visitors.

KZ Designs | Karina Zabihi Interior Design
Interior designer Karina Zabihi came to us to set a fresh new face for her design practice, KZ Designs, and also a new website that is SEO-optimised. We gave her brand a softer palette of organic tones and using brush strokes for her logo, we addressed her “Wabi Sabi” design approach. The website is built with Jquery, which makes it both light and very SEO friendly.
AL&ALICIA
Once upon a time, a boy met a girl to create a subtly androgynous look. The boy is called Al, who likes tailoring with a masculine edge, the other’s Alicia, who fancies all things flirty and feminine. They’re actually the same person, the schizophrenic mind of a local fashion designer, who approached ohplay to produce a brand identity and online presence for her label: AL&ALICIA.
Royalefam / SBTG
The year 2009 saw the undeniable expansion of the Royalefam empire, we promptly jumped at the chance to produce a business card for Mark Ong (SBTG) that reflects the opulence of his brand. With his U.S based target audience in mind, we proposed the idea of having his cards in the form of US$1000 bills. The response has been tremendous and the Royalefam team, we’ve been told, have since poured bags full out of their hotel suite while on tour for effect.
Arts Business Asia
We were asked to create an brand identity and website for Arts Business Asia – a company that connects the art world to the corporations for collaborative art projects.
Lion Rock Productions
New logo design as part of a branding project for Lion Rock Productions, a film production company based in Los Angeles and Beijing. Films under their belt include Red Cliff I and II, Mission Impossible II and Face/Off.

Good Friday Mass Invite / Poster
We were briefed by a church to come up with a rather interesting approach for some flyers and posters to inform a younger target audience about Good Friday mass. After a minor struggle to sell the idea… they bought it!
