CASE STUDY

Need
Client were in the process building a new assisted living facility to complement and round out their high end retirement community for military officers and their spouses. They needed a new logo design and a spread of marketing pieces to start recognition of the new facilty and to solicite occupants to the 40 one-bedroom apartments.

Solution
We initially created the logo design. It needed to be different enough but still fit the corporate PVE logo. (See their website we created for PVE logo view). In this upper part of Fairfield, quail are common visitors and became an appropriate icon. The logo had to also clear the residents board's approval - no small task.

Next came the print materials. Photography was going to be a critical part so we had to learn the differences between AL (Assisted Living) and IL (Independent Living). AL is typically more ambultory and not as mobile as IL residents - so no tennis, karate, etc. photos. Text, for the most part, was provided by the client. The designs were presented and perfected after working closely with the client, Patti Luccioni - Community Relations Coordinator and Sharon Dominik - Marketing Director.


2 of the 7 judges from top USA design and ad agencies.

We also designed a web page addition to the existing website and a number of local ads which was not included in the award submission. 121207
