Kona Moped Rentals Website Design

Calvin Hanson — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 01:01:19 +0000

Kona Moped Rentals is a site I designed for my client, Johnny Gillespie to help get the word out about his moped business. The logo also was designed by Design Smart. I wanted to create a simple logo to use on the website, business cards and other marketing material. The site was created in preparation for the Ironman Competition.

Haiti DTS Logo Design

Calvin Hanson — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 20:20:28 +0000

Port-au-Prince Haiti DTS (Discipleship Training School) is a school that trains up disciples of Jesus through the parent organization Youth with a Mission (YWAM). This particular DTS will be held in Haiti and serve the Haitians. I was asked by Sean Murphy the leader of the DTS to create a logo. I wanted to create something that had energy and flavor because a DTS is meant to move the people to action!

Anderson House of Prayer Logo Design

Calvin Hanson — Wed, 09 Mar 2011 20:23:28 +0000

Anderson House of Prayer is in the beginning stages of development (Check it out). I wanted to create a design that communicated burning desire for the Lord and prayer/intercession. I found a unique font that is easily readable but also distinct. I used a combination of burnt looking textures to create this Hi-Res design.

Graham & Alissa Blog Customization

Graham and Alissa wanted to keep their prayer and financial partners up-to-date on what they are doing on the mission field and so they came to me for their website needs. We found a blog design that had the core features we were looking for and went to work customizing colors and design. The result is a professional fun looking design that is easy to navigate through.

Tricity Home Team Logo Design

Calvin Hanson — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 13:13:25 +0000

Tricity Home Team needed a logo designed that displayed their progressive attitude towards marketing homes. They use a lot of the new technologies like Active Rain, blogging, twitter, and facebook to get the word out about their homes. I went away from the red script font that you see with most realtors and came up with the reflective blue glass look. The “i’s were symmetrical so it worked out great to play with them and create a house.

Alpha Fire and Safety Logo Design

Calvin Hanson — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 15:09:27 +0000

I just finished up the logo design for Alpha Fire and Safety this week. We explored many different areas for the logo with the goal to set themselves apart from the other Fire and Safety equipment companies in the Greenville SC area and, more personally for them, add symbolism to their faith. We went away from using the normal red and yellow flame themed logo designs found on 95% of the Fire and Safety Companies.

We settled on using a lion because of it’s symbolism to what the company is founded on. The company name “Alpha” is a reference to Jesus’ words in Rev 22:13 “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” Lions are used to symbolize Kings, powerfulness, and God (think Narnia). The Jesus fish is also one of the most recognizable symbols of Christianity. The flame in the “fi” Ligature hints at the industry Alpha Fire is involved with and plays off the word “FIRE”. I customized a font from a italicized serif to a script for a different modern look that flows well with the other design elements.

The final logo is one of my favorites because of its simple visual elements that have a big impact.

Photo Graphics is now Design Smart

Calvin Hanson — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 14:28:08 +0000

Why the change?

I recently decided to become an LLC and thought it was the perfect time to shed my old name for a new more focused name. Design Smart is more than a name but a personal motto to, well…design smart. It is extremely important motto to remember, because I’m dealing with small businesses that can’t afford to brand, market, advertise ineffectively. My goal is to design smart-websites, logos, brochures, postcards, business cards and marketing for my customers.

A Website is a-comin’, but for now I’ll keep my www.pgraphics.biz website up-to-date.

Cool Wicking PJs Logo Design

Calvin Hanson — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 15:31:43 +0000

This logo design project had me getting in touch with my feminine side! After discussing the goals of the company with owner, Laura Wheelock, we decided the Cool Wicking PJ’s logo design needed to appeal to her main target market, women suffering from night sweats, a common occurrence during menopause. We wanted to communicate comfort, woman, sleep (sleeping until morning), coolness, and pajamas.

Cool Wicking PJs Logo Design
