Branding & Identity

Visual identity for an industry entity, called “THE ACOUSTIC ALLIANCE,” that was focused on noise level measurement technologies. This identity element was used on websites, catalogs, trade show banners, apparel, email blasts, and magazine ads. The triangular and tetrahedral shapes overlapping inner triangles strongly, coupled with color choices, strongly suggest upward movement, unity, stability, confidence, and intelligence. Created with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.

Branding & Identity

Prelude Press’ logo was based on an American patriotic theme with prominent red, white, and blue colors and the company’s main products: historical writings and patriotic song sheet music. The red “P” and inverted blue “P” formed an “S” shape that could visually add a relief or shadow effect to both “P’s”. The feather plume symbolizes the historical writings and the music note symbolized the sheet music. All were contained within a vertical rectangle with the base being the company name. Created in Adobe Illustrator and exported to various formats for print, web, and email.

Branding & Identity

A redesigned logo that replaced one that had become visually obsolete and essentially unimpactful. I took initiative to redesign it and presented it to the CEO and marketing team. They loved it and began replacing it exclusively on their website, in printed materials, presentations, email and even applied a 3-D version of this “jewel” to their product enclosures. It helped to improve perceptions of about the company—a manufacturer of high-tech noise and vibration measurement equipment. First rendered in Adobe Illustrator and exported to various formats and with enhancements using Photoshop.
