Good graphic design doesn’t just spring full-armed from the brow of Zeus. As Thomas Edison said, “Success is ten percent inspiration and ninety percent perspiration.” Let us briefly take you through the design process, to show you how we develop your unique corporate branding at SkyHawk Studios. The same basic process applies to all the work we do.

How We Work

A Case History – Dragonfly Organizing Solutions

Phase I – Planning: Dragonfly Organizing Solutions is a small professional organizing firm looking to establish themselves in a highly competitive market. They wanted a brand identity that would showcase their unique personality and skills. As with any project, we began by finding out as much as we could about the company and the market, studying their business plan, understanding their objectives and creative visions. We asked a lot of questions to isolate exactly what made Dragonfly unique. We discussed key descriptive terms they felt defined their firm, such as helpful, prompt and professional.

Researching the competition for a logo designAnd we studied the logos and branding of other organizing firms so we could avoid the trite, the obvious, the overused, and develop something unique, something that would stand out.


Phase II, Concept Development:
Based on all of our research and discussions, we developed a number of possible visual solutions to meet Dragonfly’s needs and objectives. Each of these solutions played off of the symbolism of the dragonfly as an agent of change, transformation and vision.

Logo Design alternate versionsWe created and presented seven very different ideas for a Dragonfly logo. At this point, the ideas were rough, encompassing a broad scope of potential visual directions. We went over these ideas with the client, and settled on a combination of two of the ideas presented.

At this stage, we took the preferred design concept and presented a series of alternate colors, as well as versions of the logo in black and white, and reversed on a dark background. With the client, we created a color palette of greens and earth colors that would represent Dragonfly, and worked out how their branding would be rolled out on all potential platforms.

Phase IV, Production:

Once the final design and color palette were approved by the client, we proceeded with the business card design followed by the website design and production, incorporating the new branding image throughout.
