OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Daniel DeHart Design?

I partnered with Daniel DeHart Design to help us with our branding.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I showed Daniel DeHart Design several owls that I looked at, including a design I found on Adobe. After that, I told them I wanted a personalized owl for my company. They then gave me a survey to examine what I liked and didn’t like.

As a result, they created images with text and other elements to finish the logo, following my preferences. Initially, they proposed 11 different ideas, and in the end, they were able to narrow it down to two logo variations.

What is the team composition?

We only worked with Dan (Business Owner).
