http://www.crowdspring.com Stationary projects on the crowdSPRING site. en-US Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:38:49 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/upedated_brand_look_stationary LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Inland is a label printer mainly for the beverage industry, but we also print labels for the food, consumer products, dairy, and health & beauty industries. We are a major player in the label industry, but we are a smaller company so while many know of us and the great work we do, we struggle with brand recognition across our industry. We want an updated brand look that is recognizable and professional without losing the brand recognition that we already have for our existing logo. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need an updated look for our business cards, letterhead and envelopes. The updated look for these items would then drive the look/format of our updated master PowerPoint template, printed literature and website. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our customers are mainly buyers in larger corporations. They may only procure labels or they might be involved in all aspects of packaging. The main message of our brand is that we are a family owned company that provides the best quality and the best customer service in the label printing industry. We consider ourselves the label experts and do everything we can to help our customers get labels that look and perform how they need/expect them to. We take pride in being a small company that is family owned, and feel it allows us to make decisions quickly - always doing what is best for the customer. We consider ourselves a leader in our industry for innovative ideas and introducing new products to the market. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Our logo and complete contact information. The logo is attached. Our tagline uses Arno Pro Semi Bold font. We would like to see our slogan incorporated somewhere if possible "The Label Experts!" "A divison of Inland Label & Marketing Services, LLC" must appear on both the letterhead and the business cards but can be a fairly small font. Incorporating other/complementary colors might be a welcome change/addition to our look but is not necessary. I have attached a picture our existing business package for your reference. Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:35:59 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/plasticboxesdirect_com_corp_identity_pkg About Us eBusiness Factory is launching a new destination eCommerce website which will educate and sell recycled plastic storage/moving containers. We don't currently have any logos or corporate colors, so you are starting with a blank canvas. Our goal is to be the #1 trusted brand and website for anyone (B2B, B2C) looking to purchase recycled plastic storage/moving boxes and recycling/composting containers. Education will include the benefits of recycled plastic boxes over virgin plastic boxes and of course the benefits of plastic recycled boxes instead of cardboard boxes. We will also provide a compost solution and recycling containers. We will be writing/blogging regularly in an effort to educate our target audience and establish ourselves as the 'trusted advisor/expert'. Selling will include full eCommerce functionality, powered by Volusion.com, and a full call center to handle inbound sales and customer service. We will be selling about 40 different size boxes and recycling containers (you can view a typical product mix at http://www.orbiscorporation.com/o/o/Products/HandHeldContainers/StackNest/ and http://www.norsemanplastics.com/html/norseman_environmental_products.html) What We Need We need complete Identity Generation from scratch (we don't have any identity yet...this is a brand new website for us). We need corporate logo, business card (two-sided, rich design), letterhead and envelope. Please design/create Identity holistically understanding that what you create will drive the design/GUI for the website. PlasticBoxesDirect.com is a subsidiary of eBusiness Factory. We should mention this somehow creatively...the fact that it is a eBusiness Factory company. Our Target Audience Is Both consumer and business customers who are looking to solve their moving and storage needs with recycled plastic boxes/containers as an alternative to cardboard. We want to be a moderate brand which appeals to both liberals and conservatives. We do not want to be polarizing as too strong a 'green/eco-friendly' company. The eco-friendly aspect is one of several unique selling proposititons (USPs) which include 1) Last longer 2) protect contents much better 3) eco-friendly recycled plastic. We Like These Designs The company designing and building our website is www.brandlabs.us ...you can view some of their designs at their site. We like the following sites they built: www.ecomowers.com, the Type Free diabetes site and the Storage Solutions site. We Absolutely Must Have Must look very unique. Must look more consumer than business/industrial. Must be moderate and non-polarizing around 'green/eco-friendly'. Must be clean and slightly modern in design. Must also look/feel trustworthy. Must convey message/look of large and successful company. Must not be too 'green/eco-friendly'. Mon, 02 Nov 2009 17:50:00 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/pw_global_advisors_creation_of_a_logo_business_card_and_stationary LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: We are a RIA (registered investment advisor) firm located in Boston, MA. We provide investment advice for a fee. Our clients are high net worth (investable assets of over $1.5 million) individuals. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We are looking for a logo that will be used on business cards, letterhead, envelopes and for website purposes. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: High net worth individuals (investable assets of over $1.5 million) WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: elegant, simple, classy, creative - yet catches your eye. key conveyance - trust, different (than the traditional advisory firm), global, professional, unique WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: A design that has global appeal. Something that appeals to both a young (new money) old (old money) clientele. We don’t like trees, charts, graphs, or money references. Sat, 31 Oct 2009 20:27:44 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/redmonk_business_cards LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: RedMonk is an industry analyst company. That means that our clientele is generally software vendors, but that we spend a fair amount of time meeting and working with individual developers, DBAs, and so on. Our business is generally regarded as more bleeding edge than conservative; hip, if such a term can be applied to an industry analyst company. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: A simple, elegant but borderline edgy design that will play as well in the hands of a suited executive as it will to a hacker in shorts and a black t-shirt. It should incorporate - to the extent - possible, the attached logo and designs, but it need not be a slave to them. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our primary target audience is clients (software executives and their support staff), public relations and media professionals, and technology industry workers (devs, designers, DBAs, etc). WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: I've always been a fan of the Adult Swim bumps, with the Helvetica Neue fonts employed, but whether that would work on a card is open to question. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Creativity is good, but I prefer the basic card format. The oddly shaped or mini-sized designs are not my favorite. Thu, 29 Oct 2009 22:10:03 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/cities_of_love_stationery LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Cities of Love™ is a series of motion pictures illustrating the universality of love in major cities around the world. Each episode is a collective feature film composed of no less than 10 Segments - created by imaginative directors from countries around the world. Two such pictures have already been completed: “Paris, je t’aime” in 2006 (opened the Cannes Film Festival, section “Un Certain Regard”), and "New York, I Love You" in 2009. Three more are being prepared and will soon enter in production: Rio, I Love You (July 2010), Shanghai, I Love You (October 2010), Jerusalem, I Love You (Spring 2011). HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: A simple recto verso Cities of Love Business card, a letterhead and a writing card. Normal European sizes. We expect to develop an ongoing collaboration with the Designer who will convince us. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Business to Business. Inventive but very well structured and very readable. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Have a look at our logo. We want something classy, with relief printing, and a readable logo. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: For our business card, we need to have... In the front of the card: - the logo (provided) - the name: Emmanuel Benbihy - the email: emmanuel@citiesoflove.com In the back of the card: - the description of our Format "Collective feature-film: Several filmmakers are committed to direct a 5 to 7 minute short film Segment, all in the same city, under the same rules, and working on a common theme. These Segments are woven together by interstitial Transitions which illuminate connections between all the characters. The blending of the Segments and Transitions, with an absence of credits inside the film, are essential to the assembly and fluidity of the overall experience. The result is a deconstructed narrative feature-film that creates unity through diversity." - the website: www.citiesoflove.com For our letterhead and writing card, the description of our format is not needed. Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:22:36 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/mms_education_holiday_letterhead LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: MMS Education is a leading educational consulting, program development, marketing, sales and data services organization. Led by former educators and specialists in marketing, publishing and technology, MMS Education has acquired and maintained an insider's understanding of the education industry - spanning pre K-12, post-secondary, and home education. We're equipped to conceive, develop, market, sell and/or fulfill print and new media products and services on behalf of our clients. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We would like to "dress up" our logo with a holiday theme to be used on a holiday letter that will be mailed to our clients and friends in the industry. We are looking for something with a holiday theme but not specific to any religion or belief. The letter may be our version of "Twas the Night Before Christmas." The letterhead will be vertical, 8.5x11, classic linen paper. The design can span anywhere in the margins of the paper. We are not limited to the existing colors of our logo and the new design can be four color. The logo itself should stay intact but can be enhanced, "decorated" and dressed for the holidays. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our target audience includes current clients, previous clients, and people we call "family & friends" which includes partners and associates we work with throughout the year. Many of these people have received holiday correspondence from us in the past in the form of a holiday card. This audience includes a wide range of people and organizations ranging from non-profits, foundations, associations and corporations both in and out of the education industry. It is a large and varying group, thus leading us to prefer a holiday letterhead design with versatility and non-specific holiday themes. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: We are very open to designs of all types however, we tend to be more traditional in our preferences. For example, previous holiday cards have featured scenes including - trees/landscapes, ornaments. Since the letter will be a spin on a holiday classic, we are looking for a design that will melt traditional with fun. As stated above, we are not tied to the current colors of our logo. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: The design must use our existing logo for MMS Education and our website URL...www.mmseducation.com. See attached files for current logo. Sun, 11 Oct 2009 23:15:37 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/bengali_korean_stationery LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Hi, I'm getting married soon and I'd like to incorporate both of our cultures into the design of the programs, invitations, etc. I am Bengali and my fiance is Korean. We are in our late 20's and early 30's. Alex is very funny and we are both very laid back. I'd like to have some henna designs and Korean design elements. Wedding colors are navy and fuschia- feel free to use shades of those colors. We plan to have water lillies and orchids in the centerpieces. Neither of us are very traditional, so the design can be a modern interpretation. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: I am looking for a design that we can use on wedding invitations and wedding programs. I'd like for the design to either be centered on the paper or along the edges. A design that grows from opposite corners is ok, too. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: The wedding will be filled with our family and friends. I would like for them to see how well the two cultures mix. ;) The design should be clean and modern. We want them to see a really pretty but simple, modest design. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: here are some henna examples: http://www.houseofcakesdubai.com/store/index.php?productID=1559 or http://glassslippergourmet.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/paisley-by-cakes-by-tammy-found-on-theknotcom.jpg here is a pic of water lillies: http://www.bigfoto.com/themes/nature/flowers/water-lillies-x4dq.jpg here is something korean: http://www.artic.edu/aic/collections/artwork/187050 or http://www.korean-arts.com/images/JN016_wild_orchids6_green_gold_3x6.jpg WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: I don't want something too ornate. I would like the design to be simple and it should show how easy and compatible the two cultures are. One culture should not overpower the other, I would like the fluid design to represent both cultures equally.

We inspire people - to innovate beyond their vulnerabilities and bring their ideas to life. We celebrate wins - the tools we use (like Cincinnati Innovates metro innovation contests, and InOneWeekend, where we take 100 people and create a startup in one weekend) are exciting - and newsworthy.

Fri, 31 Jul 2009 18:15:52 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/business_card_design_for_virtual_air_guitar_company LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Virtual Air Guitar Company (VAGC) is a next generation (360 & PS3 & PC) video game developer, founded in 2006. We develop unique party and exergames using our patented real-time computer vision technology. Our games offer energetic and skill requiring physical gameplay and freedom of movement. The players interact by moving naturally and are tracked by a web camera (think next generation of EyeToy technology or something like the coming Microsoft Natal). Each game offers new and innovative experiences on the field of physical gameplay. The technology can transfer the player's video image (and just that) from the living room into the game world. E.g. we can put the player on stage in front of a virtual audience or to battle enemies in some legendary scene where we can empower the player to be more capable than he is in the real world. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a cool business card design that uses the attached logo files (full logo, just the text, or both). Our games are edgy, modern, unique, energetic, stylish and innovative. The card design should reflect these feelings / values. It should have edge to differ but be stylish. The card should not be boring or like an engineering corporate, but dynamic / stylish / edgy / cool. It can possibly be a bit grunge but not so retro that the company being also high tech gets confusing. If retro, then stylish retro. It would be good for the card to differentiate from your usual pile of business cards. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: The cards will be given to people working in games industry, business, media art etc. We want to build a reliable, edgy, innovative and uniquely skilled image/brand. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: I browsed some designs (too briefly to find anything matching to what we do). I don't think any of these would work for us directly (ours needs to match the logo, etc.) but each one has a consistent, clear and/or distinctive, stylish look. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lizmaybury/2564997173/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/finian/2577709324/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/skyway/2583185550/ http://blogof.francescomugnai.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/2590097354_ce62dddef3.jpg http://flickr.com/photos/cdharrison/2594208408/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/pinkertons/2552154371/ http://kwaku.deviantart.com/art/personal-business-card-30312085 I didn't really find very edgy, grunge, dynamic designs on the browsing. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: The cards will be printed two sidedly. Thus the design should have both front and back of the card. The card size should be 90mm x 50mm and be rectangle in shape. By minimum the card should contain the following information: - Company logo (either the full logo or just the text part of the logo. Or e.g. full logo on the front side and just the framed text part on the back side or other way around) - First Name, Last name, Title, email address and the phone number of the owner The owner information should be clearly readable from the card (not tiny or with so much graphics that its messy) If it fits well and works with the design, the card could additionally contain the following: - Company www address: www.virtualairguitar.com - Company physical address: Tietäjäntie 4, 02130 Espoo, Finland (the address is not of high importance) Colors - There is no limit on the amount of colors - If the full logo is used on black background we usually make it orange (r:255, g:144, b:0). When used on white it can be red as well. - With the full logo we use the intact text. Using the text alone (when not too much space or when needs to be very clear) we either use the worn text or the worn text with frame. - If using just the text, we usually use the mild orange-yellow gradient (in the file) or make it into constant orange on black background Ps: Our webpage is being completely redesigned at the moment, so don't let the current one influence your design. Wed, 29 Jul 2009 03:02:47 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/publishing_transitions LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Looking a business card and stationery for my business that focuses on transitioning traditional print media companies that are looking to reinvent themselves using the latest digital technologies. I am an experienced professional with 30 years in the trenches. I have been working with independent publishers to facilitate their efforts moving from paper to digital and need a more professional look to my own "collateral." I just don't have the time to accomplish this. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: Looking for a clean, sophisticated and contemporary design that describes transitioning the printed media (magazines) to digital media. Nothing that would look to "digital" or too kitschy. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Magazine publishers looking to make the transition from print to digital. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: I like clean, sophisticated, and contemporary designs. I like color but don't want it to overwhelm the "message." The font(s), I think, would be more sans serif, but am open to serifs--if they works. I have always admired the design of Absolut Vodka. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Nothing kitschy. Tue, 30 Jun 2009 20:31:14 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/oversized_business_cards_and_memo_tags_for_oliver_fabrics LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: the best info i can provide you on oliver can be found at our new website www.oliverfabrics.com we are a small boutique retail business about to open our first store in charlottesville, va. carrying high end designer fabrics ( normally bought through the trade) at amazingly discounted prices. we are NOT a discounter.......no 70% off signs to be found in our store. this is to be a hip place where you can find great stuff at amazing prices........and we want our printed materials to reflect that. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: we need a sophisticated but fun layout for business cards and what we call memo tags. both are to be the same size, 3.5"w x 2.5" h.( trying to be different and yet economical at the same time) they can be printed on one or both sides. the business cards need to contain the following: logo ( jpg attached to this post), address, phone number, website address, fax, and salesperson name. memo tags are to be used for marking the necessary info on fabrics on the bolt in the store, and also attached to cuttings to be handed out to customers when they want to take a small cutting with them. these tags are to contain the following info: our stock number, manufacturer, fabric name, style number, retail price, width of bolt, and most importantly, our price per yard. a scan of a temporary tag showing a layout we are using is also attached. in both cases, info can be re-arranged. we would love to see something that feels fresh.....but contains what we need it to..... OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: our clientele is mainly female, 30-55, and they are customers with means......and additionally our clients are also interior designers ( of both sexes) but dont want the store or the cards to feel overtly feminine.....the website doesn't and it has the feel we like. and certainly WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: we like our logo......seen on website and attached as a jpg here......and like the idea of relating to fabric as the needle in our logo does.......as to the logo, if you choose to modify it, that change would certainly be considered. the orange and the dark grey are keepers as well. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: our logo! we like it, but are fine with considering adaptations or changes to it... Fri, 26 Jun 2009 17:43:50 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/design_the_crowdspring_business_cards LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Umm, we're crowdSPRING - duh! If you're wondering about who we are then take a look around the site - we're the guys who built this thing. We're fun, creative, laid-back, insanely handsome and generally all-around cool dudes (and one dude-ette). But, most of all, we're building the creative marketplace - and that means that we're creative so anything we have that represents us (including our business cards) needs to be REALLY creative. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We need a stationery package that will eventually include business cards, letterhead and envelopes. But, to be honest, the business cards are what we go through the most of (in fact, I don't think we've ever used a piece of letterhead yet!) so let's definitely concentrate most of the effort on those. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our site is actually aimed at two totally different audiences: small businesses and designers. Even though these groups are very different, they do have one thing in common: an appreciation for great creativity! So, whatever design we choose has to be so good that it screams creativity. When we hand our cards to small businesses, we want them to say, "man, I wish I had a card like that!". And when we hand our card to designers and other creatives, we want them to be impressed and respect the work that we got through our very own site. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: In the 'Materials' section (to the left), we'll upload the current designs that we're using for our cards. As you can see, they're simple, clean, modern and creative. That's what we're looking for in a design! So feel free to be creative and be different. Do NOT just give us our logo on a card with the info typed on the back. The more creative the entry, the more we'll like it! In fact, just hit Google for some inspiration and you'll find loads of amazing card designs like these: http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/05/100-really-creative-business-cards/ http://creativebits.org/cool_business_card_designs http://logodesignerblog.com/creative-business-cards-design-inspiration/ WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: I don't think there's a single thing that our design 'must' have. We're open to just about any ideas and, in fact, we like things that are creative and different! Obviously, there are some things that in general help tie the design to crowdSPRING (our blue color, the logo, etc.) but, again, you don't HAVE to use them. In fact, we each have different business cards here in the office and some of them don't have any blue at all, some of them don't have a logo at all - so feel free to be creative and give us ideas that are different. We're the creative marketplace!

Our products look like conventional steel drums, but our speciality is that we manufacture them in many different sizes. You can view our web site at: www.skolnik.com. We recently had a logo designed for us on crowdspring, but the designer is not available to complete the project. Therefore, we are reposting for the stationary and business card only. The logo is new. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: 1. Business Card - we normally print on thick stock. We use the back side to illustrate and identify parts of a drum. I would welcome some other item to put on the back side, or just to continue using the illustration. 2. Letterhead - Design can be on the top or side of a sheet but I prefer nothing on the bottom. 3. Envelope - All print must be on the front, nothing on the back flap. For all three, we prefer a white base, orange accents, black type. The logo must be integrated. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Our customers range from federal agencies to wine manufacturing companies, small family businesses to large corporations. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Please do not make fonts so small that they are not easily viewed. These items, especially the business card, are the way our customers contact us. We've also changed phone numbers and will give out the current info prior to the final design selection. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Must have - Orange emphasis and use of our logo.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: We want the new cards to reflect our existing branding (www.shiftcomm.com ) -- so no insanely off mark colors like canary yellow, etc. -- but we're open to interpretation. We need to be able to hand these cards to edgy startups and traditional companies alike. I've attached a VERY rough example of our cards. These won't cut it -- but here's a rough start. In addition to all of the current fields (for email, phone number, etc.), we also want another "blank" field so people can put in, say, their own twitter handle, or perhaps their own website.

You can introduce other colors into the design but we would prefer this be done only on the compliments card and accompanying sleeve which is included in all our shipments. The only main stipulation for color is that the burgundy be used in some way as it is our main color. Design We like the design to be simple, elegant with a bit of whimsy which we have worked into the site with the floral graphic and placement of our butterfly icon. Please don't include any other components or tacky cliche items or graphics like hangers, clothing etc. Floral Graphic We have included a file of the actual dingbat where the design was taken from, please try to stick with the versions you see on our website, so none of the big rose bulbs, but the others are fine. The graphic is found on the top our of homepage and on product description pages. If you feel it competes too much with our logo it is not necessary to incorporate it into all items of our our stationery suite, we would however like it to be used in our compliments card or compliments envelope or both. Whatever you think works. Also, if you find another similar floral graphic elsewhere please feel free to use it if it compliments your design. It just needs to be a soft and subtle graphic. Compliments Card There will be pre-printed text within the compliments card so you will need to consider the font and show the submission with the font. We have included an example from another company, Piperlime, to give you an idea of size and what we include in our shipments, it's just an example. Printing You need not heed the cost of printing you can make it as luxurious or as "simple" as you wish, we just don't want it to be a complicated or impossible printing process. Zip File 1.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: Logo Stationery Business Cards Powerpoint template OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: High performance sales professionals, sales managers and sales executives WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: crowdSPRING firefox Fri, 03 Apr 2009 12:35:49 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/bold_new_logo_needs_letterhead LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Total Quality Consulting is a recruiting firm that has just had its logo redesigned. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: The logo is attached. We need the following designed: print-on-demand letterhead; #10 envelope; 2-sided business card for the owner; and a sheet of print-on-demand business cards for use with Avery sheets of business cards. Due to turnover and expense, the letterhead and business cards need to be in digital format that the company can print in-house as needed. The owner's business card, and the envelopes may be printed traditionally. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: Needs to be professional yet a little bit different, with bold color reflecting those in the logo. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: We would like bold use of color, but keep in mind that a couple of these items will be printed in-house. So, bleeds on the letterhead won't work as most printers leave a white border. For the sheets of business cards, they need to be able to add the person's name and title. Maybe the best way is a double print? Print once for the background, then again for the name? Wed, 01 Apr 2009 00:20:41 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/funeral_home LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Please look up AlvarezFD.com that's our logo. Even though it's a nice design, were not satisfied with it. The lotus looks more like a crown than a flower. It also looks boring, and it doesn't flow right seems too heavy. especially for marketing or advertising purposes. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: concept 1: We are looking for a "circle of life" type of logo. That the human race goes happy moments and sometimes through rough times. That even though we lose somebody we love, we will meet again, one day. A logo that portrays that idea in a metaphorical way. Concept 2: The lotus on our website symbolized life and death, how the lotus has phases of opening and closing, again this is a metaphor of life and death or opening doors to a new beginning. Concept 3 Try a rose as well Concept 4: Or maybe it can be a black and white logo with a symbol. that has meaning. Concept 5: Possibly a tree, But than again i'm not to fond of trees unless it's a great design. I will update this later on; but hopefully you can understand my concept on the first 2 and apply it towards the logo. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: We cater to every background and every religion. We want to portray an image that is clean, modern, fresh, confidential, and very professional. That we take your experience very serious.

Thu, 19 Mar 2009 14:14:06 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/logo_business_cards_stationery_for_investment_advisory_firm_serving_individuals_and_families LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Midwestern firm of 8 professionals; CFPs, CPAs, JDs who help individuals and families manage their investments, prepare their tax returns and review their estate plans (most people need estate planning, even if they have less than $3.5 million in assets). We also help people assess their insurance needs. We take the long view, our Clients come first and we rarely lose a Client. We desire to spread the word that we provide a valuable, consistent and professional service in a friendly atmosphere to people who don't want to do it all themselves or who may want a second opinion about their current planning and investing. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: We have changed the name from "Retirement Plus, Inc." to "Hallier Financial, Inc." because we address more than "retirement," our Clients thought the name limited the services we provide and many people do not intend to retire but could still benefit from our comprehensive services. OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: One of our target audiences was soon-to-be-retiring Federal, State and Local Government employees who wanted help managing their retirement plans. We want to expand our market to serve individuals and families, perhaps age 40 and up, who have or will have $500,000 or more and want help with certified financial planning, managing their investments, tax preparation and preparing for their insurance and estate planning needs. This dollar figure may seem high to you but we provide comprehensive service with one fee to provide an investment manager, lawyer, CPA and others. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: Wouldn't you agree that our "look" should include professional, experienced (more than 20 years in business, decades of experience in staff) friendly and up-to-date. I'm not partial to ALL CAPITALS as it seems too "in your face." We try to be kind to people, especially these days. Might back of card say something like: ● CFP® ● Investments ● Tax ● Insurance I like glossy and bright/happy colors, some more partial to somber look of investment house/big law firm black and white cards though. "Planning for Your Success" "Planning Your Success" "Financial Architecture" "Design for Your Success" "May we help with your planning?" Your ideas? WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: No downward pointing arrows in red ink! No ALL CAPITALS. Could this be created to enable us computer neophytes to work with your design in Microsoft Word? What would encourage you to entrust us to help advise you on your investment planning, to handle your tax preparation and to offer you some creative ideas for your insurance and estate planning needs? (Our competitor in the same building is named "Creative Planning.") Wed, 18 Mar 2009 23:03:43 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/cloudbreak LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: "Us" is me. I'm an ex-software executive getting back into the game after a bunch of years off. I tend to specialize in startup software projects, usually with a large end-consumer and frequently (but not always) a multimedia component (animation, fancy graphics, all that). My skills are in product design and management, but really what I do is take people with good ideas and help them make them happen in whatever way I can (design dialogs, do the business plan, find the right people for the team etc). So. A catalyst (yeah I know, business speak), a spark - that kind of thing. HERE IS WHAT WE NEED: Logo and name treatment for biz cards and stationary. Will use logo and name also on a very simple website (projects, bio, references, things like that). OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS: People starting or running companies - everything from two guys in a garage to big multinationals (but more like Adobe or Apple than Exxon :-) People funding companies. WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS: mmm, sorry. there are lots of designs I like, but I cant think of any of them at the moment. will fill this in when they come to mind... I tend (for business) to like spare, lots of whitespace. WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN: Cloudbreak refers (among other things) to a wave breaking way out on the horizon (looks like a cloud coming and going where the sea meets the sky). It's also a famous wave in Fiji. So aluding to the power, freedom, excitement of a big breaking wave would be nice. But it's gotta be subtle - I love pics and graphics of glorious tubes, but not for this! Otherwise, a bit of whimsy would be nice (again, not much, some). I like people who are loose enough to be funny in a business setting, so if we can get that in there too, that'd be cool. But, you know, subtle :-) Fri, 13 Mar 2009 02:52:39 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/bradway_financial_business_card_update LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Please see www.bradwayfinancial.com for information about us.

Mon, 02 Mar 2009 20:05:54 GMT http://www.crowdspring.com/projects/graphic_design/stationery/logo_design_for_insurance_brokerage_company LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US: Rovner & Company, LLC is a group of seasoned insurance salespeople opening our own Insurance Brokerage House.
