			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Go Green Carpet Cleaning, a Sacramento area environmentally friendly carpet cleaning company, requested our services to develop their web presence.  Go Green offers a wide array of services and our job was to bring a wide array of services into an easily navigable website.  It was a bit of a challenge &#8211; they literally do everything &#8211; but in the end we were able to present a professional product.</p>
<h3>Here are some screen shots.</h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We recently developed a re-branding strategy for Windfarm Marketing.  They specialize in social media marketing and wanted us to provide a new brand identity that better represented their brand.  They were looking for something modern and something that alluded to the technological aspect of their business.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We created this brand identity for Aerial Leadership.  As an executive leadership consultancy, Aerial focuses on helping executives reach new heights of professional success.  As such, they wanted to focus on a few simple elements; height, direction and creating an identifying mark.  We used their direction and developed a few concepts.  The final logo is highlighted above and shown below are some of the different stages of development including initial concepts and revisions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We were honored that such a well established company with over 100 years in business in the greater Sacramento area, would trust us to develop their website.  We wanted to highlight their experience and wide range of services.  Being in business for more than a century is a tremendous accomplishment and we wanted to make sure they had a website that explained how they achieved their success; by providing outstanding service to the community and standing behind their work.  Click the image to visit their website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Custom Walkout Shirts was developed as an additional service offered by Pure Fight Gear to produce customized apparel for amateur mma fighters.  The website was developed with the target audience in mind.  You will see loud graphics and mma inspired apparel throughout the site.  Since this is a unique concept, the challenge was to develop a site that was engaging while simultaneously clearly explaining the process and advantages.</p>
<p>Here are some images that we used to communicate the concept.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Schwartz Business Strategy Group works with businesses of all size as an outsourced Human Resources solution.  As such, we wanted to convey professionalism with their brand identity, while still retaining an approachable feel to the layout and design.  A strong workforce is the foundation of any good business.  We wanted to illustrate &#8220;foundation&#8221; with roots and by placing them just off the Business Strategy Group, imply that the company would help create that foundation.  Of course the tree symbolizes growth and that was important because the Schwartz Business Strategy Group focusing on freeing their clients up from daily HR drudgery so their companies can grow.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Below are some idea board/color options presented.  You can see we modified the roots for the final, they were &#8220;&#8230;just not sitting right&#8221;.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We created this brand identity for Pure Fight Gear to identify their new project, Customwalkoutshirts.com.  The concept was based on identity, I.E. the fingerprint in the background.  Pure will receive custom shirt requests from athletes who want to brand themselves.  Creating a logo that immediately identified personalization or customization was key.  We selected a green and black theme to stand out from the MMA related competition; most of which use red and black regularly.  There is also a secondary identifier logo, used as a director to the website.</br><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your Personal Tech Geek contacted us to create their brand identity.  After speaking with Chris, the owner/operator to learn more about his business, we learned their company included the word &#8216;personal&#8217; in their title with purpose.  They offer many innovative and tailored solutions that other tech service companies do not.  Learning about their focus on service and personal solutions, we decided to theme their logo from a period where service was king.  What period you ask?  Why the 50&#8242;s of course!</p>
