Since teaming in 1995, we’ve produced graphic design works for independent, non-profit and select corporate clients. Our identity systems rely on a unique web presence as the backbone of the brand. We develop database-backed websites with custom CMS implementations and specialized web-based apps. Whatever type of design we take on we’re looking for the unique voice of that project—and with Carrie coming at it from the art side and Ben the tech our combined forces are always able to find it. We think design lies not only in the visual but in the unseen structures that support it, both aspects keep us seeking the strongest solutions.

RAND Methods Centers

/ Non-Profit Branding / Stationery, Promotional Materials and Motion Graphics

Global Research Talent, a unit within the RAND Corporation, wanted a sub-brand that could work with and be faithful to their corporate branding. A color is assigned to each of the 6 groups that make up the “Methods Centers,” which is then elaborated into triangular abstracts, isolations or voids. The result communicates the individual and cooperative efforts by and between the groups, and their role within the much larger entirety of RAND’s research work.
