we are who we are | we are what we do
logo Metalsmith magazine is the official publication of the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG).

You might say our relationship was soldered back in 1997 when Metalsmith looked to ted studios to be the stewards of their brand. They commissioned us to redesign their publication and all corresponding identity (stationery, logo) in 1997. The results? The new Metalsmith was awarded Best Redesign from the Society of Publication Designers.

And the work continues. We design the page layout for advertising and editorial, producing a total of five issues a year.
