hope point

Thought it would be fun to post a "before and after".

Hope Point is our home church and we recently had the honor of doing some design work for the church. During the process we decided to update the church's previous logo.

We wanted to keep the same color palette and concept behind the original design, but clean up and modernize the design.

Here's the final result. The top is the before and the bottom is the after.

If you are searching for a home church, we would love to invite you to try Hope Point.

meg arnold photography

You may remember our friends Matt and Megan from Tandem Web Solutions? We actually did the logo design for Tandem and Matt has been our go to web guy for all our coding needs. 

Well, Matt recently accepted a wonderful job offer (still web coding) in the Bay Area and so off our friends the Arnold's went to start a new chapter in their lives. 

We are so excited that part of their new chapter includes Megan fulfilling a lifelong dream and taking her passion for photography to the professional level. 

And of course we were thrilled to create the logomark for her new business venture. Megan wanted a professional design that would be timeless and simple and so Billy go to work creating these custom letterforms for her new identity. 

We can't wait to watch her journey unfold out in the big city and you too can follow her right here. 

Congratulations to you both, Matt and Megan. Your success has been well earned and while we already miss knowing that you two are just down the street, we can't wait to visit you in your new hometown.

carlos for congress

When Sutter County Deputy District Attorney Tony Carlos called us up to say he was running for Congress we were pretty stoked.

Not only do we believe in Tony's capabilities to do an excellent job if elected, we know that he is a sincere man of the highest integrity and so it didn't take much contemplating for us to accept the project of designing Tony's campaign logo and website!

While we went through several rounds of sketches while developing his logo, Tony decided he ultimately just wanted a wordmark (standardized text logo). We decided to also incorporate a graphical element to make the wordmark more memorable and less traditional.

Tony didn't want the logo to look too far from traditional, so we decided to keep a deep blue and red for the color palette, but to make it more modern we chose a sans serif typeface. The "o" was made to be reminiscent of an American flag, and we included 3 stars since Tony is running for the 3rd Congressional district in California.

We also designed wwww.carlos2012.com with much input from Tony. The website is designed to be engaging and easy to navigate for the visitors. After we designed the site, we handed it over to the web experts at Tandem Web Solutions to bring it to life and they did an excellent job.

We are currently working on customizing the Carlos 2012 twitter and facebook pages, along with some coordinating print collateral. It has been an honor working with Tony and we can't wait to see what the future holds for him!
