Case Study: Summit Assault logo and poster

October 10, 2012 by James Brown

Summit Assault was the first running race produced by founders Burke Eberly and Nick Bonner. They were referred to me because they seriously needed professional help with branding to compete with the hundreds of other events that occur each summer in Colorado. Below you can see the logo that they had created (Before) and the updated logo I designed (After). The logo was then applied to the poster and given to them in a variety of formats for use on the website and other marketing materials.

Happily the event was a huge success and they even had other resorts offering to host their events in the future!

The previous post shows a lens cloth that was well received so Gates asked me to use a similar layout to create two large panes to adorn their OTC trade show booth. The mockup shown here and booth were constructed by Proctor Productions.

New Promotional Product: Lens Cleaner Cloth

I recently designed this promotional lens cloth for Gates Corporation. It is double-sided and was a big hit with customers. They liked the design so much that we’ve repurposed it for a trade show booth and a few other projects.

Early works by James Brown

I took possession of this collector edition dinner plate (original artwork ©1974) after many years of being prominently displayed in the kitchen of my boyhood home in Alaska. I love having the plate as a reminder of how far I’ve come. It was enlightening to learn that arms and legs are attached to a torso instead of directly to a head. Six fingers and 4 toes are minor errors that I have since remedied.

There is a plugin available for InDesign that can import and link to Google Docs. Anyone can update the document online and those changes can be accepted within InDesign. This can be a valuable time saver when working on group projects.
