I was blessed last month when Matt Knisely connected me to Jerry Miner of Water Missions International. Blessed not just because the project was a blast and I love the final results of the branding work, but because Jerry is oozing vision. Jerry’s vision: giving 100 communities – 250,000 people the gift of safe water [...]
Last month Chris Brogan said something in a conference in Chicago, SOBcon. It’s really quite simple, but I’ve not been able to shake it. growth happens when you promote others more than you promote yourself. I knew I had to do something with that thought. I want to be someone that brings joy to others, [...]
Ok, I have to write out my bio again…and I hate writing about myself. Feels like it should be called a Oh-I’m-so-awesome-and-here’s-why-thingy. So…I’m looking for your input. Here are two drafts I’ve written up. With the goal of once again making the church the most creative place on the planet Michael is the founder of [...]
It was a rough day today. The plate was already full: working on the launch of the new sites of churchmarketingsucks and cfcclabs looking at some things for the church marketing lab 2 new logo projects 1 new print campaign 2 new web projects 20 plants to get into the ground at home and special [...]
This is the third stage of Ty’s logo project with Rainier Christian Church’s logo. This is the most challenging, most skipped, and most important stage. Sketching. Ty isn’t an illustrator so at first this seemed like a silly stage. You can even see him scribbling out “IDK!” as he gets frustrated with it not all [...]
We just wrapped up the next stage of Rainier View’s logo development, the moodboard. Once we’ve gone through the questions we ask to get inside their personality as a church, discuss some of their answers, ask a few more questions we then put this into pictures. This proves as a good test to see if [...]
Just received an email with an offer to you for an NAB pass that includes the exhibit floor, the Opening Keynote and State of the Industry Address, Info Sessions, Content Theater, Destination Broadband Theater and Exhibits. Just register with the code A913 Now free is nice, but what is cool to me is that NAB [...]
NOTE: This is not on topic, and yes very transparent…I hope it will be a post of healing. Last month as the earthquake shook Haiti, like many of you I had to do something, I had to play a part in the people’s lives. My son’s mom was in the midst of an adoption of [...]
I’m a fan of taking the opportunity of a new year to look at where I’ve come, what I’ve gone through and where I am going. It’s a good time for me to reflect on what God is doing with me and on what I need to let him do. I usually keep all that [...]
Interesting look at the Coke brand through the years. As I’ve been looking at my logo and considering a refresh, this gives me some good food, or I guess drink, for thought. UPDATE Very interesting comments on Twitter (which I thought I had a plugin that was supposed to add them here, hmmm) about this [...]
