Introduction
Ten years is worth celebrating properly. For Garrett Leight California Optical, a brand built on the craft, culture, and unhurried cool of Venice Beach, a decade in business called for more than a commemorative post. It called for a campaign that could look back with warmth and forward with intention, and a design system sturdy enough to carry future milestones with the same conviction.
Working embedded within the Another creative studio, the scope covered the anniversary mark, brand refresh, campaign concepting, collateral, art direction, and a visual system built to grow alongside the brand.
Naming and Architecture
The naming work for this campaign was about finding a line that could hold the full weight of the moment. Contributing to the development and refinement of "Ten Years of Vision" meant sitting with the tension between looking back and looking forward, between optical wordplay and genuine emotional resonance.
The result is a campaign line that works across every surface without feeling forced, one that reads as heritage copy on a wheatpaste poster and as a quiet confidence statement on a lens cloth. The architecture was designed with future anniversaries in mind: a system the brand can return to and build upon as new milestones arrive.
Strategic Positioning
GLCO occupies a rare position in the eyewear market: boutique in craft, cultural in reach, and deeply rooted in a specific place and ethos. The ten year campaign was positioned to honor that without tipping into self-congratulation. "Ten Years of Vision" carries the obvious optical wordplay, but the emotional register underneath it is heritage and longevity, the feeling of a brand that has earned its place and knows where it is going.
The campaign was conceived to feel celebratory and nostalgic in equal measure, referencing the brand's origins while framing the decade ahead as the more interesting story.

Visual Identity
The primary GLCO identity was already established. The work here was one of refinement and extension: taking existing color, typography, and brand energy and building a campaign layer on top of it that felt cohesive rather than grafted on. The centerpiece is the anniversary mark, a "10" in which the zero carries an infinity loop quality, speaking to unity, longevity, evolution, and a brand in constant forward motion.
It functions as a stamp across merchandise, packaging, print, and digital without ever feeling like a badge. The refresh touched lens cloths, posters, social graphics, and packaging, each treated as an opportunity to extend the campaign world rather than simply apply a logo.
Art Direction
The visual world for the ten year campaign is rooted in where GLCO comes from. Wheatpaste as a format was not an aesthetic choice, but a cultural one: a medium native to the surf and skate landscape of Venice Beach, where the brand was born and where its sensibility still lives. The type systems, campaign graphics, and overall visual vibe were art directed to feel earned rather than designed, the visual equivalent of something that has been around long enough to mean something. The result is a campaign that feels as comfortable on a wall in Venice as it does in a lookbook or on a screen.
Conclusion
The GLCO ten year campaign is a study in what brand design looks like when it serves a story rather than tells one. Every mark, surface, and system decision was made in service of a moment worth remembering and a brand worth continuing to watch. The anniversary mark will outlast the campaign. That is the point.
