Brand Development
Brand development is much more than just a logo. No matter how cleverly designed, a logo does not tell the whole story of a company by itself. A brand is more closely defined as what a company represents. A logo only begins visually communicating the story.
When we engage with a client that needs brand development services, our goal is to create a “visual personality” geared to their specific target audience. By working closely with our clients, we first educate ourselves about the client’s core values, visions, markets and strategies in order to develop the most appropriate image for their target audience. Once the objective is defined, we develop the brand that will best suit the client.
Brand development deliverables:
Our complete brand development services (or redesign) includes: a brand usage guideline book, logo development, tagline, color palette, business collateral concept design for brochures, folders, flyers, business card template, stationery, website development, marketing campaigns (digital and print) and sign design.

Pala Group
Founded in 1973, Pala Group is one of the five largest commercial-industrial builders in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The Task:
Rebrand an established company with a modern look that will better reflect the company’s services.
The Solution:
We began researching the company’s history and its name’s origin. During our research, we found the company originally adopted the acronym PALA from the location of its first office, Port Allen, Louisiana. We also learned a family of Spanish descent owns their company. After subsequent meetings with the company and researching their ancestral language, we discovered that pala, translated into English, means shovel. With the obvious relationship between a shovel and construction, we decided to pursue this idea to help define the concept behind their new identity.
Brand Development End Product:
Upon completing the new logo, we applied it to all of their business collateral, website, vehicles, and signage.
Merrimac Asset Management:
Asset management firm located in Lafayette, Louisiana
The Task:
Develop a brand for a new company that will best display its core values of safety and security.
The Solution:
The name for Merrimac Asset Management was derived from the former US ironclad ship to portray a company that provides “iron-clad” investment strategies. We first decided on the color palette which uses colors that communicate safety and stability. We then developed the imagery of an upward-pointing arrow to reflect prosperity. The icon also has the letter “M” used in the design as a negative space to help create the arrow shape.
Brand Development End Product:
Once completed, the logo and color scheme were used to develop the company’s marketing materials which consist of stationery, brochures, a website, and exterior signage.
