I don’t get to talk about the award-winning logos that Hearken Creative Services has produced over the years. And I’m waiting for client approval on a project this morning. So I thought I should upload a few that we have done:
We have actually done an update on this one, changing the typography to reflect the new organization. But the logomark still works wonderfully.
Included in the American Corporate Identity line of books.
These are just a few of the many successful logo design and re-design projects that we have worked on over the years. We have a long and successful track record of working with clients to
- determine need
- assess the values and strategies of the organization that should help shape the logo design process
- work with owners, management, and employees to come to consensus on marketing values
- present useful logo design strategies and work through the revision process, on time and on budget
- complete fulfilment of digital and physical artwork for use by other design firms as well as internal staff
We would love to work with you on your next logo design project.
My new post at Crazytown Blog, in which I lament my lost tree and extol the virtues of newly-arranged music: http://bit.ly/vR2pna
My friend and collaborator Craig Detweiler was profiled in Image magazine this past month. His work ethic and attention to the craft of filmmaking has taught me a whole bunch about filmmaking.
Check out his essay for Image detailing how his most recent documentary, Purple State of Mind, came into being. I helped out on that film by providing some of the camera work from our time together in Japan in 2004. Craig also shows up in my reel [below], as the narrator for Asian Access’ documentary Missions: Redefined that I produced and edited.
Last summer I helped produce a reunion for the West Covina High School Chamber Singers. We had a wonderful time, and [finally] I was able to get the time to do an edit of all the footage that was shot at the event.
Purchasing the DVD via PayPal can be done on the WCHS Chamber Singers site.
This was a fun side project. No money was charged for my time; I hired a videographer to be at the event, so that I could participate in the event myself.
The whole process was a good learning experience, and another chance to bring a project from conception to completion.
Back before Fuller Theological Seminary had even hired any staff for this new venture, the Lloyd Ogilivie Institute of Preaching needed a multichannel piece that would bring in relevant candidates for the new chair of the program. So it needed to be high-end, concise, fast, and under-budget. We designed three pieces: a magazine ad, a direct-mail piece, and a (mini) website. In addition, we filmed several people on campus, all talking about what the Institute was going to do.
All design and filming (and subsequent printing and DVD replication) was turned around within one month, and perfectly on budget. The campaign was successful: Mark Labberton is now the chair of the academic program, and has successfully moved it from infancy to relevancy across the campus.
If you know me, you know I grew up during the original Star Wars trilogy releases in the late ’70s and early ’80s. I lived and breathed Star Wars when I was a kid. So it struck me in a deep emotional place when Drew McWeeny from Hitfix.com detailed his kids’ experiences as he introduced them to the world of Star Wars (all six movies plus the animated stuff).
I talk briefly about it on this week’s post over at CrazytownBlog.com
Ryan Scott Oliver, PMTP‘s creative director, wrote a brand new musical for the students who participated in the Summer 2011 session of the Pasadena Musical Theatre Program. I am a member of the board of directors of this fantastic program. We now have a partnership with the Pasadena Playhouse, and are looking to expand even further into the community.
But back to the musical, Jasper in Deadland. I filmed a bunch of the shows and rehearsals, and mixed the live sound off-the-board for this recording. It gives a good glimpse of what the students got to experience over the summer: originating roles in a fantastic new musical, and getting to work with musical theatre professionals — directors, choreographers, lighting and sound and costume and set designers, etc.
I posted a similar video a few weeks back, but this one seems to be more complete:
Again, the beauty of space photography simply gets me every time.
I just wrote a post yesterday on Crazytown Blog that looks at where people and companies are spending their money vis-a-vis art and entertainment. Take a look.
Does practice make perfect? Then why does society’s meta stories tell us otherwise? On Crazytown Blog this morning. http://bit.ly/spGW4p
