What do you need?
Clients rely on us to give them what they need. Sometimes that may be what they've asked for, but often it's something else — perhaps a slightly different twist to what they had in mind; perhaps an entirely different route to where they're going.

The direction we take springs from our grasp of what they do, our experience and an objective assessment of the best way to deliver the measureable results they're after.

"Part of building a successful corporation is finding the best people available and giving them the freedom to do what they do best. You showed me what I asked for but then — more importantly — you took it upon yourselves to show me what I needed, not just what I asked for. You've designed a winner."

Bob Hartin,
CEO, Western Logistics


Identities, Branding and Logo Design
We have provided corporate and product identities as well as comprehensive brand strategies that frequently look as crisp and timeless after years (sometimes decades!) of service as they did when they were launched. The companies, programs and products we brand have travelled to the depths of the world’s oceans and back; been sent into orbit; crossed continents and, most importantly, found a memorable space in the minds of their audiences.

Take a look at 60 of our identities (1.5 MB PDF).

Marketing Communications Design
One of our key strengths is distilling potentially complex, technical information into an enticing, comprehensible message. We frequently move messages out of niche channels into mainstream communications for broader audiences. Whether it’s a retail package or an industrial catalogue; a non-profit organization or an industry association, successful communications design is a blend of image and content; a balance of emotion and reason. It makes the message an inviting read.

Website Design and Development
The sites we’ve developed for our clients are easy to navigate, visually engaging and technically sound. We check them on different operating systems, in multiple browsers — old versions & new.

We often provide complete content development — photography, animation, research and copywriting — in addition to the website design and production.

They include static HTML sites, WordPress sites and Drupal sites which provide very robust, enterprise-level functionality.
