SironaHealth, a national medical call center services provider based in South Portland, needed a new website to help carry their lead generation and nurturing site into its next generation.

OneMaine identity by Might & Main.

Forge was approached by Eliot Cutler and his team to develop a new identity for OneMaine, a political organization designed to blur the lines and encourage cooperation between Democrats, Republicans, and Independents in the state of Maine. We were excited to do some work in the political realm with the goal of creating a unified team of like-minded people less concerned with partisanship.

Identity Design for the Black Tie Company

Black tie Co. identity design by Might & Main.

The Black Tie Company is one of Maine's largest caterers, with exclusive management of nearly 10 venues, including the Portland Club, the seaside SMCC campus and Pineland Farms. The company has a rich history; over the past 23 years, owner Chris Weber has grown it from a solo catering venture to the fully-staffed, full-service event planning powerhouse it is now. But in that time, design and branding had taken second priority to building the business itself. Chris approached us late last year with a simple goal: create a strong, memorable identity for the company and apply it to collateral, signs, vehicles, uniforms, and all the other places that the company has historically been logo-less or inconsistent.
