Spring is in the air, the grass is turning green and the industry has picked up steam. What have we been up to for the last several months? A little of this and that; including instructing design courses at several colleges and universities. We've been helping local agencies ramp up their deliverables to clients, and we've even stolen a little time down in ol' Mexico, relaxing with a margarita or two.

The Very Latest:
Routine Leg Works
RLW, out of Breck, Colorado produces a variety of muscle balms for the athletic crowd. It's a small, but increasingly crowded niche. FPA Design Group developed identity and packaging that gives a voice to this small and energetic company. Check out RoutineLegWorks.com.
The Holland Center
On the occasion of a re-location, The Holland Center came to us for re-branding. The Holland Center is an autism therapy center that provides amazing work for students with autism and their families. With new, clinical program offerings and a solid research model, the Holland Center needed an energetic and positive voice to celebrate all they do for youth and families. Check out: HollandCenter.com.
Ginger Consulting
Ginger Consulting came to FPA Design Group for their own branded re-usable cloth bags that are all the rage. With plenty to pick from, Ginger challenges Louis Vuitton and Coach for the accessories' top-seat.
McC
When you've relied on your name alone in a market that has just evaporated, never fear. FPA Design Group provided courage for McCormick Construction. With a limited budget and little marketing experience, the solutions had to be smart and affordable. We designed a flexible and impactful tradeshow booth with additional marketing collateral. Now the sales group has more ammo for potential clients.
Grand Performance Website
Running from morning to night, this small business owner had little time to handle customer-facing brand imagery and messaging. Sure, business was okay, but in an effort to keep its appearance bakery-bread fresh, Grand Performance Bicycle Shop hired FPA Design Group to redesign its web site. Now, it's more in tune with the quality of product and service that GP provides its customer.
Giraffe Marketing
Giraffe cranes its neck a bit taller with its new brand perspective. While travelling along the creative road, Giraffe came to a fork between two design solutions. Being the off-road type, Giraffe swerved. The formal logo works hand-in-hand with 15 somewhat more aggressive logos that are used as stickers in all kinds of environments.
Wade Financial Group
When a successful brand comes alive, you can breath it, live in it. That's what happened when Wade Financial Group launched its new brand identity. WFG used the opportunity of an office move to reconsider its image. After the brand started coming alive, WFG used the branding move to reconsider its office.
Deluxe Corp.
Like so many industry leaders, this economy has forced a new game and a stronger challenge to connect to the same customers. The rebranded Deluxe Corp is a stick of dynamite. Powerful. Red. Challenging. They look like a leader not a follower. Red Means Go.
