Teal, Becker & Chiaramonte, CPAs (TBC), Professional Services: Our mission was to refine TBC's Corporate Identity and unify their brand via enhanced marketing collateral and website presence. In conjunction with Delphia Consulting, they recently announced the launch of their new website at www.tbccpa.com.
Award-Winning National Sports Team Logos: AHL Albany River Rats and Kentucky Thoroughblades Hockey Logos, Brands and Merchandise programs. In the 10 year life of "Rowdy" the River Rat, we developed a feisty and unique character progression, a branding relationship with fans and rivals alike, and set an industry trend with consumer merchandise and team franchise apparel
At the Rupp Arena, basketball was "wild". McKinley Griffen skated hockey into Lexington for the 1st time with a bold identity and theme, along with complete store design, vendor set-up, and public awareness campaign highlighting the ins and outs of "Hockey with Horsepower".
Beer and Packaging: North Country Brewery Family of Beers, award-winning package design and POP in very crowded marketplace. The Adirondacks and its inhabitants were the inspiration for this brand in 1996. Western NY's Sackets Harbor 1812 Ale took a historic angle. Handcrafted Rat Tail Ale regionally hit supermarkets, bars and beverage centers, along with one of the earliest designated driver campaigns. Hey - promote what you love.
Sports Logos: Avid sports fans, we've covered basketball, arena and outdoor football and world team tennis. Logo identity development applications from 1/2" size through to Billboard, display and uniforms. Colorful brands that move.
Our commitment to Non-Profits: Our hearts and hands have always been involved. It's a privilege to work with dedicated organizations whose causes enlighten and raise public awareness, and allow us all to be of greater service.
The importance of Small Business: Whether it's retail, B2B or B2C, your identity and message need to be distinct, memorable and cohesive. Your business has our undivided attention whether it's locally grown or developing at a national level.
Food and Entertainment Industries: Business to Consumer Logos. Who can't have fun with these!
