DCVisualsPro is a Multimedia company that specializes in Graphic Design, Photography, Film & Video and Website Design. The company was founded in 2012 By CEO Donovan Craig. As a requirement to design stationery for his own business for a class at Columbia College Chicago, Donovan struggled to come up a name for his company. With him specializing in Graphic Design, Photography, and Film & Video, hi
s intentions were to create a name that would represent his versatility in design. After starting the company as, "DC Multimedia", he then realized that the name was not as catchy as he wished. It wasn't until 2 weeks before the class was over when he realized adding Visuals instead of Multimedia would give his company name that "ring" he was looking for. With this being confirmed as the company, he went on to design the logo. His process for creating this logo was very simple, he typed "DCVisuals" and began to scroll through the list of typefaces while in Adobe Photoshop displaying how the name would look in each font. While searching through the typeface list literally from A to Z, Donovan came to a stop when he saw how the name looked in one particular typeface called Lithos Pro. With thickening the font weight and rearranging some letters of the name, Donovan had a logo to represent his company. Moving forward to the year 2013, Donovan had established a presence around the city of Chicago as DCVisuals. Every product was stamped with a watermark that read the company name. All of his social media pages (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and etc.) were registered under DCVisuals, and everything from business cards to custom-made sweaters showcased his company. Realizing that there were other design firms with the same name, and along with fear of copyright infringement issues, Donovan decided to add something to the company's name. Distinguishing it from the others while making it easier for consumers to search and find DCVisuals, it was relatively easy to figure out what to add. Adding "pro" as in professional was the slight alteration needed to completely fulfill what Donovan was looking for in his company name. With using "pro" at the end of the name, he would persuade consumers of all DCVisuals and other design companies that when choosing DCVisualsPro, they're guaranteed of getting high quality services from a true professional and along with an exquisite web page and a high quality portfolio, the company would do just that. After a week of developing concepts, he found that placing "pro" at the very end of the logo in an italic Arial typeface would complete the reform of his logo and the company's brand. With the completion of the name and expertise, from here stands the DCVisualsPro company and logo you see today. What Sets Us Apart
