Originally Ward Amidon, Amidon Jewelers needed a logo refresh at the end of the ’90s. They came to Results Marketing where I was lead graphic designer. The challenge was to find a statement typeface, since the logo was going to be just the name and a cleaned-up version of the outlined diamond from the original logo.

Although there have been slight variations to my design, it's still the same strong, memorable brand identity after all these years. My name might not be up on a billboard, but a logo I designed is, and I'm very proud to serve the Upper Valley business community.

I recently updated my business cards and sent them to Colonial Printing, a local print shop in Manchester, NH. So pleased with the results, the price and the service! The color is great, and I love the textured Avon classic white linen. I can help you find the best printer for your project.

POP QUIZ! Without looking! What are the colors of the rings in the Olympics logo? (see below for a hint…)

While you're thinking about that, here are a few cool facts about the iconic logo:

❄ The logo was not designed by a graphic designer! It was designed by Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern games, and was first on display at the Antwerp 1920 games.

❄ The 5 interlocked rings represent the coming together of the 5 inhabited continents at the time: The Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania.

❄ At least one color from the logo & branding can be found in every flag in the world. Can you figure it out yet?

Winter is a great time to catch up on some industry tips and techniques to sharpen my skill set. These books are a few of my current go-tos for inspiration and ideas—now all that’s missing is a hot cup of tea. 🫖 ❄

Thank you for the kind words, George!

Upper Valley Martial Arts teaches the systems of Taijiquan and Baguazhang. I enjoyed working closely with the client to combine symbols of those disciplines, plus other traditional Chinese imagery to create this modern, versatile logo.

It was my pleasure and privilege to meet with a student from Major Choice yesterday. He is interested in a graphic design career and had some very well thought-out questions for me. I didn't have all the answers, but that's okay! His questions gave me inspiration to want to keep learning. I'm sure that young man will be successful in whatever path he chooses. www.majorchoice.com

I recently had the opportunity to design a direct mail piece for Colorado Search and Rescue Association. Using client-supplied content and the CSAR color palette I designed a bold, modern mailer booklet with a remit envelop using the CSAR logo color palette for branding. My job doesn't end with sending the files to a printer; I look closely at the printer proof one more time for errors like typos, color issues, and pagination.

"What do you do?" is a question I'm often asked. My elevator answer is that I create logos, websites, and printed materials for local small businesses. Sometimes, however, that doesn't seem to quite cover what exactly I do. Really, I do whatever clients need done if it relates to graphic design, marketing, and websites. These bus ads, for example, don't really fit into one of the general categories I usually recite. So maybe a better question is, what don't I do?

My designer-in-training and I volunteer at the local food pantry. We are humbled by the generosity of spirit in the recipients, volunteers, and staff at the Friends of Mascoma Foundation Friends Feeding Friends program and are happy to have the chance to give back to our community.
