Identity is important to any company or person who needs to promote goods or services. To not have an identity is to not stand out.

Lynch Mechanical Logo and Identity

Lynch Mechanical is a well established mechanical piping contractor. They services multiple industries, many of which are commercial. Lynch was a part of a larger brand before being purchased from an independent owner. The new owner, now not affiliated with the Lynch brand, wanted a new identity for Lynch Mechanical that no longer resembled the Lynch umbrella company that it once belonged too.

Being rooted in the industrial and mechanical industry, Lynch Mechanical needed to connect itself visually to its products and services. The “L” shape represents a segmented pipe. The circle around it represents the connecting ring at the end of of a pipe segment. Using these simple elements shows the viewer at a glance what Lynch Mechanical is about.

The color scheme was chosen to differentiate Lynch Mechanical from its competitors in the industry. Many companies in the industrial services industry choose blue as a primary color for their identity. Choosing red differentiates Lynch. The tone of the red and gray are very similar as to not have one color override the other. The two colors are very much in harmony.

The client was very happy with the look of this logo. Two options were created as to give the client maximum flexibility when using the logo for their businesses purposes. Since the inception of the logo, Lynch has contracted Harris Design House to design business cards, letter head, email signature, envelopes. HDH has also designed a design for Lynch Mechanical service trucks. This design stands out with the use of bold colors and curved lines that are customized to fit the doors of the work trucks.

PM Industries Website Redesign

Client: PM Industries, inc. Manufacturer of hi-tech components

Challenge: To rebuild the company website that had been neglected for many years. The goal to was to modernize the website along side the refresh of the PM Industries brand. The website needed to be modern, fresh and engaging without too much distraction. I chose to go with a 3 column design that allows the user to access and read information easily. With it’s competitors growing exponentially every year, PM Industries needed a refreshed website to once again become the leader in it’s industry of manufacturing parts for the most advanced technologies and set itself apart from it’s competition. I chose to design the website as a brochure style to be the most informative.

Solution: I worked with PM Industries throughout the entire process of ideation, conceptualization, design, and implementation. I was a constant source of information and support for anything they needed me for including design, copywriting, and photography. I managed the client relations and the entire process from start to finish. PM Industries was stuck in the past. The only way they could move forward was to refresh their brand and their website to make it more accessible to their clientele. The home page of the site has an engaging rotator. This image rotator highlights PM Industries services and philosophies. It is the first impression that brings the viewer in and encourages the reader to continue to read. The site also allows for the visitor to be able to contact the sales staff with questions about services. The site has been very successful in increasing leads and increasing awareness of the multitude of services PM Industries offers.

PM Industries Brand Refresh

Client: PM Industries, inc. Manufacturer of hi-tech components

Challenge: To refresh a brand that has been in existence for 40 years to bring the look and feel of the traditional company into the new era of design. With it’s competitors growing exponentially every year, PM Industries needed a refresh to once again become the leader in it’s industry of manufacturing parts for the most advanced technologies and set itself apart from it’s competition.

Solution: I worked with PM Industries throughout the entire process of ideation, conceptualization, design, and implementation. I was a constant source of information and support for anything they needed me for including design, copywriting, and photography. I managed the client relations and the entire process from start to finish. PM Industries was stuck in the past. The only way they could move forward was to refresh their brand with modern style and color scheme. I chose a font that is both technical and has movement to it. The base idea of the refresh was to not completely recreate their brand (because they are recognizable in the industry over the past 40 years), it was to bring forth a new fresh, modern and more polished look. They had no identity to speak of. No color scheme. No font styles. I created all of this for them. Then I took the new refreshed brand identity and applied it to a complete website redesign and rebuild.

Dewey’s Frozen Yogurt Website

Client: Dewey’s Frozen Yogurt website design and illustration

Challenge: I was contracted by Spot Color Studio to create a website for Dewey’s Frozen Yogurt. The site needed to be colorful and engaging. The site needed to have something that was a focal point of interest that could give character to site. That character needed to be focused around the identity of Dewey’s Frozen Yogurt, Dewey the dog.

Solution: I worked with Spot Color Studio to design an entire look and feel of the website including illustrated graphics, navigation and Flash animated character. The concept was creating a website with bright colors to keep the visitor engaged. The site included menus, specials, news, and events. To increase engagement and appeal of the site, I created a Flash animated character that appeared when the site loaded. Dewey the dog was the mascot of Dewey’s Frozen Yogurt. He was represented in the logo as a silhouette. I gave life to Dewey by creating the animated illustration.
