Portfolio Sample: AAC Consulting Group

AAC Consulting Group offers regulatory consulting services to pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food, and medical device industries. The company develops regulatory strategies and FDA compliance requirements, procedural assistance, writes and reviews submissions, performs compliance auditing and training, and validates processes, facilities, and systems.
Hosting approximately a dozen public seminars and training sessions across the country each year, and even more private sessions, AAC hired Creative Presence to develop cover images for the participants' supporting docs. These covers were visually compelling amidst text intensive content. Breaking from their existing uniform format, AAC desired to develop a unique visual identity for each course.

FDA'S New Food Terrorism Regulation in 2003 prompted a new web presence focused on reaching out to clients effected by the requirement for Food Facilities to register and comply with the new regulations.

Portfolio Samples: Our Favorite Logo Designs

Logo design can be a deeply personal choice for a small business. On the corporate level many times the process is wider reaching and the popular catch phrases of Identity Building or Branding are commonly used. Great care is invested in identity development in every case. No matter what the sector or industry, it seems common knowledge that a unified and well-considered identity is essential. Here are just a few of our favorites logos from the previous years.

Portfolio Sample: Contemporary Museum of Honolulu

In addition to preserving art since 1940, the museum maintained the historic Spalding House and gardens. Putting together a Christmas Card for this island jewel resulted in a unique card that represented authentic yuletide imagery of Hawaii.
