I initially worked for Samson Internationl on their Flash based websites. This led to a few print design jobs like these hangtags for in-store displays.  The final campaign included tearpads with furniture collection information and hangtags which were grommeted to allo for hanging on the display setup. I've also included an ad that ran in the Costoco customer magazine for the Ashbee collection.

Another friend from ASheboro High School, Adam Whitaker, owned a moving company "Moving Men" and wanted a unique logo featuring a caricature of he and his business partner.  This is the resulting logo. Be sure to check out the additional images below for the applications on which the brand was used.

A  high school friend of mine, Jason Van Eyk, is a doctor and was returning to Randolph county to open a practice in Asheboro.  He and his partner's primary focus is family medicine with special attention to geriatric medicine. Jason and his partners wanted a logo that was iconic and recognizable that would set them apart from the other medical professionals in the area.  After a few rounds of revisions, we settled upon the current logo that you see depicted.  It depictss a bold medical cross with the number 1 "punched" out of it (for those of you taking notes, the number 1 seemed to be the best representation I could come up with for the word "Primary"...go figure).  We've since gone on to develop postcards, signage, and a brochure that Randolph Primary Care uses in their operation.

A few years back, Asheboro High School partnered with the North Carolina Zoological Park to create the AHS Zoo School, a "science-themed, cross-curricular focused small learning community that actively engages students in real life experiences [on their] 1,500 acre campus.  Students have the opportunity to work with NC Zoo staff and apply their scientific investigation skills to solve problems."

School administrators asked me to develop a logo that could be used for their marketing materials (signage, letterheads, cards, etc). I developed several versions before AHS and Zoo officials chose the version you see at left.  In the additional images below, I have included the horizontal letterhead letterhead format, as well as some of the design comps I developed. It's like a logo safari!

Here is a design that is several years old and is still kicking. Surgical Associates needed a simple 1 color brand that could be spread across letterhead, business cards, appointment cards, and apparel. After a few renditions, we came to this solution which has held up over the years. I have several alternate version, but they utilize the same scalpel graphic and explore different colors and typefaces, so I left them off. I did include the embroidered "badge" version and black and white business card below in "Additional Images."

Townhomes on Main are some beautifully built homes located on...well, Main Street in Asheboro. The builder wanted something upscale that could relay the quality of these homes, so I generated a basci logo using a script typeface then carried the concept on through to signage and a  brochure. I'm also including a picture below of the completed townhomes and development - très chic.

Wyne Thomas Chevrolet is a durable brand in Asheboro that has been around for quite a while. I've had a long history of design work with WTC and have seen it add and remove brands from its' lineup over the years.  A few years back, we explored modifying the logo to "freshen" it up a bit since the dealership was acquiring the Cadillac brand. The logo at let is one of the versions we explored.  Ultimately, to lessen confusion with the folks around town and to solidify the stability of the name (no small feat in this day and age), we kept the basic elements of the existing logo the same while adding depth and additional icons to the layout (you can see that version below). Also included in the additional images are some additional logo concepts, car magnet comps, a business card layout, and a couple of postcard mailers. I'm looking forward to continuing a business relationship with this prominent company.

The 3 Sign Guys were an offshoot of my previous company, MainSales, where we differentiated the sign area of business from the design and print area. The idea was that the "Sign Guy", David Whitaker was the center of the Sign department withe Scott Smith (on the left) and myself (on the right) as the supporting "Sign Guys." This logo was pretty strong and got a lot of notice, but eventually, the guys retired it to pursue a new business name, Able Custom Signs (which made sense as there were only two "Guys" after I left). This was a fun logo to create and I've included the shell of our original website and a promotional card in the additional images below.
