Here are a few samples from a re-branding project we are working on with web-developer, Herman Consulting. Funders’ Committee for Civic Participation (FCCP) supports other non-profit funding groups on a broad range of civic participation issues.
Logo Designs Make the Cut
We are patting ourselves on the back after learning that two logos we designed and illustrated were chosen by Logo Lounge for inclusion in their 5th compendium of logo designs. From the e-release:
For Book 5, there were 33,000 logos submitted for consideration and the caliber of work was exceptional. Each judge reviewed thousands of logos from around the world, each mark submitted by talented LogoLounge members. The final collection is not only an excellent point-in-time examination, it is full to the brim with inspiration, higher thinking, and craftsmanship. The new book will be released by Rockport Publishers in early Summer 2009
The chosen logos are the Green mark we did for Studio JDM, and the “Huge Head” mascot for Huge Magazine. Based on previous volumes of the books, we will be in very fine company.
Happy Anniversary!
Here’s a direct mail piece we did for JD Madison announcing their Annual Anniversary Sale. Each year a new logo for the sale is rolled-out for advertising, displays, window graphics, and more. This year’s logo was colorful and fun, reflecting the season of the sale. We even did some of the furniture photography for the sale.

New logos — just in time for Summer!
DBD+A designed these logos recently for two very unique clients. The first is for Eggers & Associates, a medical device research and development company with offices in Ohio and Oregon. The brand needed to be clean, strong and “precise” — a nice reflection of the high-tech products developed by Eggers. Our solution was to cut through a solid space with two “scalpels” to create the Eggers “E” mark.
This next logo was a re-brand for a personal and professional consulting company founded by Michelle DeAngelis, known from her many television appearances and her previous venture, Planet Joyride. A sought-after consultant, speaker, and coach, Michelle shows CEOs, managers, and individuals everywhere how to have a company, and a life, that “Doesn’t Suck.” In fact, her new website launches in August to coincide with the publication of her book, “Get A Life That Doesn’t Suck.”
Special thanks to Todd at Herman Consulting for linking us up with these great people!
Sign of things to come…
We’ve recently completed a new logo design for JD Madison‘s new showroom expansion. The new space showcases ten new, higher-end home furnishing lines and needed a sub-branded identity that was similar to JD Madison, but that could stand on its own as well. The new showroom opens to the public on June 15th and will include many more information graphics, displays and signage created by DBD+A. Here’s the logo on the new exterior signage:
And here’s the new logo next to the JD Madison logo:
Everything’s Gone Green
And, that’s a good thing. Everywhere I turn these days people and companies are talking about green-building, green design, and green services — essentially about making green from going green. Hopefully this groundswell of green-thinking can carry out past local, regional and even industry boundaries and become a real national and global charge.
With so many people looking to minimize their own footprint on the planet through their purchases and lifestyle choices, it pays for businesses to let their customers know that they do indeed feature green products or options if they have them. One such company here in Portland is JD Madison, a modern home furnishings store. We developed this green logo for JD Madison to be used on their Web site and on in-store tags to let shoppers know which of their unique and stylish furniture pieces are made using sustainable, recycled, and in many cases, reclaimed materials.
