The past has less to teach us than we need to know. Consumers are jaded, markets fragmented and disposable dollars scarce. Risk is everywhere, and pressure produces rigidity, making it difficult to try new things. More than ever, time is our enemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This, as every visionary knows, is a rare moment of &lt;a href="http://www.dcdesignsolutions.net/home.html"&gt;opportunity&lt;/a&gt;: one that rewards creativity and compensates companies that have learned to cultivate the brilliance of individuals and instill an effective process for innovation in their corporate cultures.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite commonly held beliefs, real invention is rarely the terminus of a carefully developed brief. It begins before the assignment is written, and is inevitably the difference between efforts that lead to meaningful new ideas and those that produce derivative results. It is an ability to identify inchoate opportunities and see openings where others can’t. Invention never should be saved for problem solving. It should be engaged first to recognize the most rewarding problems to solve. It is not for the faint of heart or narrow-minded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happily, we have a plan. &lt;a href="http://www.dcdesignsolutions.net/thefacts.html"&gt;It’s called design&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Design can create desire, improve intelligence, impact productivity, speak volumes, start a revolution, and eliminate frustration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Design is a profession based on conception: on helping to define an opportunity, then develop a solution that will fulfill it. Subsequently, design includes the identification and management of the team that will bring it to life, whether it is a product, communication, event or place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We offer you the following process as a way to make design an &lt;a href="http://www.dcdesignsolutions.net/home.html"&gt;integral part of your business&lt;/a&gt;, and to allow designers to make your success an integral part of design. It will make you an even more sagacious client. It is a method for partnering, a guide to the most effective use of teams, and the most potent, efficient, reliable way to get from A to B when you are not quite sure what B is."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Information gathered from AIGA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;AIGA is committed to advancing the understanding of the value of design and the process of designing through advocacy, education, publications, conferences and spirited conversations.

You don't want to promote the wrong feelings or emotions in your image, even though your new logo design may look really great. In addition, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;simplicity&lt;/span&gt; is very important. Think of your better known brands (Apple, Nike, etc.). These companies have simple, but &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;powerful&lt;/span&gt; logos that are easy to remember. Lastly, stay away from trends. You do not want create a logo that will be trendy one year, but out of style the next. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Longevity is key!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Follow these steps when thinking about a new &lt;a href="http://www.dcdesignsolutions.net/branding.html"&gt;brand identity&lt;/a&gt; for your company or organization and you will be on the right track to a coming up with a more successful, more recognizable brand within your market niche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;View our &lt;a href="http://www.dcdesignsolutions.net/branding.html"&gt;brand library&lt;/a&gt; for samples of excellent identities created by &lt;a href="http://www.dcdesignsolutions.net/home.html"&gt;DCdesignsolutions&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2945705335377974387-5296766684439883590?l=www.dcdesignsolutions.net%2Fblog%2Fblog.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.dcdesignsolutions.net/blog/2009/03/creating-new-brand-identity-for-your.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dan from DCdesignsolutions)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945705335377974387.post-2292918482574043178</guid><pubDate>Wed, 18 Feb 2009 00:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-02-17T19:31:24.213-05:00</atom:updated><title>Triple Fresh Catering Web Launch</title><description>The design team at DCdesignsolutions have been developing a fresh, cutting-edge web presence for a premier catering company located in the suburbs of Philadelphia – Triple Fresh Catering, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through the use of sound design concepts, technical advancements, and excellent interaction with Triple Fresh Catering, the new site has already been deemed a success (and the site is still in progress).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Please visit our latest site launch to see why our client is so happy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.triplefreshcatering.com"&gt;http://www.triplefreshcatering.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2945705335377974387-2292918482574043178?l=www.dcdesignsolutions.net%2Fblog%2Fblog.html' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.dcdesignsolutions.net/blog/2009/02/triple-fresh-catering-web-launch.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Dan from DCdesignsolutions)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2945705335377974387.post-2359559086395580505</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Jul 2008 21:35:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-02-04T19:28:01.602-05:00</atom:updated><title>The power of professionally designed material.</title><description>Design is NOT expensive - &gt; it is an INVESTMENT. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Graphic design is not just the difference between beautiful and boring.
