Success Story
Classic Commmunications

This marketing firm (already a client for several yrs at the time) contacted me with a request to create a logo for a new Boston-based, environmental nonprofit on a three-day deadline. They needed to include the new logo in an upcoming presentation before an important audience. The very next morning I get a phone call that the hospital had found a pancreas that was a match for a wife - a transplant we had been awaiting for years!

The solution: Mix a hospital room, an iBook, some sleep-deprived creative inspiration, a designer that refuses to miss a deadline (or leave his wife's side), and a little wireless technology.

Two days later I had created a unique logo that effectively expressed the message of the nonprofit startup. My client (and their client) was thrilled with the logo and the impression it helped make at the group's presentation the next week. Another successful design, but this time all put in perspective by a successful organ transplant!
