our manifest
We are Cherry Bomb, a multidisciplinary creative studio focused on Brand Creation, Branding and Illustration and Web Development.
We believe fervently in the power of design as a “Massive Construction Weapon”. For us, design can unite and inspire people; it can simplify conversations, abstract the world and elevate experiences. Good design is not meant to be seen, but to be enjoyed.
We are Pop because we are delicious and sweet as a cherry. We are Pop because what can be more pop than a cherry in a milkshake? We love the use of color, of illustration and the infinite use of creativeness. We are Pop because we love our friends, our families, homemade food, plants and little puppies who say hello out in the street.
But also we are Punk. We are Punk because we know that a good design is not condescending neither conventional. Good design must educate and transgress, just like a good designer must not be condescending with their client. Probably, if you wish that your designer be just that, your designer, we might not be your best choice. We don’t have absolute truth, but we can find it, together, just like we can create brands that endure and transcend.
We are Punks because we are against both people who throw trash and cantankerous old people. Because we know that the world can be a better place if we effort a little bit of being empathic with other people, on being responsible with our environment, with the people, with ourselves, promoting the culture of love instead of hate. We know that the world will be a better place with music, smiles, culture and education. “…We can be heroes, just for one day.”
Our studio is small and pretty: we are six people compromised with quality, by giving the best of us and reflecting it doing our work better each day, contributing with that little effort to make this world a better place.That’s why we can’t do any other thing, but deliver all our passion, ability and imagination on each project we do, because for us, each of our clients is unique and special. That’s the challenge we want to overcome, so, why don’t we make a better place together? We are the cherry of that delicious cake that is your brand.

CEO & Art Director
Less complex than you think. Lover of mystery and unsolved cases. I don't like sweet desserts, nor anything cloying, salt or citrus, what better!
Admirer of weird styles, wild hair, striped clothes (I love it!). Still learning to illustrate, to be an adult, to take care of plants, to have friends (although sometimes I'm terrified to meet new people)… Not much to say. Simply one day I will take the initiative.

I'm not that quoting kind of person, but here there it is one I like it: "Never let anyone make you feel that you don't deserve what you want". Is not a deep thought from an existentialist philosopher. It's from a movie. In fact is from a 90's teenager movie; it's said by Heath Ledger in "10 Things I Hate About You".
I think is a good thought, very simple, yeah, but promising. Because if you put everything you have (and a little bit more) you may end up reaching what you want. But if you don't, at least you know you gave everything to achieve it.
I'm a guy with simple tastes. I don't have a fortune, but I have a beautiful life next to my girl. I don't have a car (and I don't want it), but I have a bicycle. I like indie pop and cloying songs. I'm the cofounder of this little creative studio, in which I put all my heart every day to make all who work here have a beautiful and calm life. For me, that's happiness.

Marco Gonzalez
Lead Programmer & Co-Founder
Designer by profession, dreamer by conviction. I'm that kind of person that is at peace with the environment. I like to be cool with people around me and I'm always looking for nice stuff for everybody and from everything. I'm very talkative and smile almost all the time, but overall I enjoy making others smile, I analyze things all the time, sometimes I would like to turn off my head but I can't, I sleep a little, but eat a lot.
I love my Yeyi, my family and my friends above all things. I like to meet people, places and music. I can spend hours listening and looking for new bands, live versions of songs, anecdotes and all that has to do with music.
I'm never too cold or too hot. I’m more into salty tastes than sweet ones. I like to feel the water from the sea or pools, but not from the rain. I like to walk and ruffle my hair when it’s cold. I wear glasses even to sleep. I collect hand watches, and astronauts or space images make me smile.
I get into what I do not care (because I do care) and always want to help with everything I can. Do you need something? :)

Mine is the programming... It remembers me when I used to disarm my toys to see their inner working; although I did not always manage to rearm them, but it satisfied my curiosity and inquired into the operation of each piece.
Now I'm still doing the same but inverse: going from the tangible —the artifact—, to the intangible —the web architecture—. Writing pieces of logic that modify markups carved by declarative styles.
I'm always working to the rhythm of electronic music, so I'm into a kind of active meditation.

Directora de Arte
The best thing I do since 2015 is to create logos. After a long journey this is where design best treated me. On my free time I do tarot, make playlists and write horoscopes.
A secret about me that few know (apart from listening to Reggaeton) is that I like to cook: I research first for the millenary recipes from the family (I become a Sherlock Holmes, do research and identify concepts), then as a good millennial I watch some videos (references, Behance are my shepherd), I know how to ask for good advice (here comes the influence of friends, chiefs or a client who explains pretty well the brief), but also from time to time I like to experiment; I use more basil than normal (I have leaned towards neon colors, contrasts and typographic games), finally I season and use a nice crockery (my favorite part, take out applications, embellish the logo and play with my creation) and in the end I serve it warm.
And look at me now design/cooker in Cherry Bomb. #whodidyoumakefunof

Oscar Santibañez
Diseñador Jr.
Diseñador que lucha por el amor y la justicia. Entusiasta de la Ilustración y el Diseño Editorial. Me emocionan las revistas, los libros, las publicaciones impresas, el collage Digital y el desarrollo de infografías. Cuando era niño, ocupaba la caja de colores con mucho miedo, porque no quería que se acabaran nunca.
Polifacético. Mi vida es una canción. Siempre tengo la rola exacta para cada situación. Me gusta cocinar, porque creo que el amor también entra por el estómago. Creo en la empatía como una forma de entender a todas las personas con las que convivimos.
Me gusta ir siempre en contra del viento, si me dicen blanco, yo les digo negro. Pienso que la vida no tiene que ser perfecta para ser maravillosa. La cultura pop y las décadas de los 80’s, 90’s y 2000 son mi religión. Hago ejercicio, paseo en bici, leo, pienso, corro, vuelo y me acelero, perreo, y lo más importante: sigo aprendiendo a llevarle el ritmo a este baile enorme al que llamamos vida.

Becaria
Trabajo desde chiquita. Norita y Gabo me adoptaron, me pusieron un nombre molón y me trajeron a Cherry, donde tengo el trabajo más importante. ¡Soy la encargada de hacer felices a los chicos!
Es un trabajo muy demandante, ¡imagínate tener que ser bonita y juguetona todo el día! Muy agotador.
Por suerte me va muy bien, tengo abrazos y apapachos ilimitados :)

they trust in our work

A few years ago, we began an intimate relationship by renewing one of our identities. Their professionalism led to create an indispensable synergy for us. Just enough to take one or two coffees and listen to us et voila!!! They give life to all our ideas, materializing everything that we had between the lines, not to mention the great warmth and human understanding from the study, before different adversities from us as clients.

It has been very pleasant to work with the Cherry Bombs: not only because of their high talent that they have deployed in Ventus Mexico to transform their identity with great creativity, nor for their competence and professionalism in capturing our needs, nor for their fun and genuine illustrations... but for the hullabaloo of having met a team with an authentic sense of humor and great human warmth. Thank you!
