MCPS New Logo

I recently finished up this logo for the Maury County Public Schools in Columbia. This has been a work in progress that I worked with the school board on since the fall of last year. It was an honor for me to be a part of this process since I am an alumni of the MCPS school system.

They wanted something that depicting the forward-thinking and progressive new direction of the school, particularly communicating the digital readiness aspect of their future. They liked the idea of a circle with some sort of symbolic element. In this one they chose, we were able to incorporate several symbolic pieces that are significant to Maury County and their schools.

The navy color was appropriate as it inspired confidence, peace and wisdom. The green color represents truth, safety and respect for the environment.

Like the state flag, the three stars separating the text represent the three Grand Divisions of Tennessee. 

The arrows pointing in a clockwise direction suggest the cycle of continuous development, which was something symbolic to educators according to the Director, Dr. Marczak. 

The letter “M” in the center of the insignia implies Maury County and serves as the trunk of the tree supporting the 22 leaves representing the school system’s 22 schools. 

The central trunk is also flanked by two symbols for wireless internet symbolizing the school systems readiness to move into the digital age. 

LED Billboards

I drive to Columbia quite often, but it is always nice to drive into town and see two of my billboard designs up. These LED boards are nice to switch out messages; however, you almost need to be caught a red light to catch the message. Luckily, I was stopped long enough to notice both. These are for two of my clients - CASA of Maury County and Middle Tennessee Bone & Joint.

Sleigh Ride

I was privileged once again to design the Columbia Main Street Christmas parade art. They always need a logo, flier, and postcard design to use in their marketing. We always keep a bit of whimsy mixed with the real courthouse in downtown. I am honored they allowed me to design this for the 8th year. As you can see, the designs have evolved each year from 2008.

Backyard BBQ

It is always fun working on something that benefits your children. This flier and poster design was created for my daughter's annual Backyard BBQ at her school. I am happy I can contribute something for the 2nd year in a row and look forward to attending the event!

A Logo with a Little Vintage and a Lot of Charm

I recently finished up this logo for a client who is opening a vintage boutique. She wanted something that was vintage with a little shabby chic. Above is our final designs, and I can't wait to see how it turns out on her sign and promotionals. Best of luck to Bella Rue Boutique! More to come on this new business...

SSN 2015

I just finished up the graphics for another Summer Songwriters Night in Columbia, TN. This year's event was a great success, and I feel lucky for the opportunity to work on the graphics again. Above was a banner we designed for the event itself. Below was the actual invitation design. Fun to see how the designs have evolved over the years.
