Brand Identity Re-design Project: Champion AC

Original Logo Analysis

The flag pattern inside the text made this logo difficult to read beyond close range, especially without a drop shadow. While the red, white and blue colors communicate patriotism, the logo fails to fully communicate the culture of Champion AC's services. Most importantly, it didn't help them stand out from the competition.

Redesign Success
We've successfully created a beautiful, strategic logo design for Champion AC that's easy to read from any distance, memorable, & unique. We added a 4th color, cool blue, to communicate "cooling". The true blue roof top over the heating and cooling elements visually communicates Champion AC's slogan, "Control The Weather In Your Home."

Business Card Design
The original business card design was a common white card stock, with the original original logo across the top. Ben & Tony, Coiners of Champion AC, were not very motivated to hand out business cards.

Design Success
Simplicity and speed are the objectives. Simple designs are by far the most difficult to execute because it's so easy to leave out important info and it's very easy to overload with detail (which confuses the eye). The simplicity of the design emphasizes the core problem, unbalanced home climate. Personality was added to the design with the high-impact profile photography by The Creative Bang!. The element of speed is a result of the simplicity of the design. Less clutter makes the content easy to read quickly.

Stationary Document Redesign
Brand Identity must extend across all marketing collateral especially sales proposal documents. If you are in a bidding war for a job, a great way to create a memorable impression is to extend your brand design to your documentation.

Professional Presentation
Many clients and potential clients believe the quality of your documents, business cards and other marketing collateral reflect the quality of your services. It's quite simple, "if they take the time out to make their documents look so good, they'll do a great job for me!"

Thinking Ahead
When we designed the logo, we were thinking ahead. How well will the logo perform on their company vehicles, signage, business cards, documents and the uniforms?

Design Success
Our approach is to make sure your logo is fashionable enough to look great on any type of apparel you wish to screen print, digital print or embroid.

Vehicle Vinyl Wrap Design
There are many vehicle wrapping companies who outsource their design needs to The Creative Bang! because design is just that important and they want to ensure they can offer their clients the best.

GONE IN 7 SECONDS!
Traffic is moving fast. And by law (wink-wink), drivers are required to keep their eyes on the road. This means that most people will see your company vehicle at a glance for less than 7 seconds. In that short window, you need a design that will be easy to understand and leave a lasting impression after it's gone. We make that happen.

You Get What You Pay For
When business owners realize they need photography, they often will use fast food photography companies like the Picture Me, Portrait Innovations, or Wal-Mart. You get what you pay for. The problem is these studio fail to give you variety, high-end image editing, compositing and more. They will simply pose you like they pose everyone else, use general lighting, and no post editing. Even worse, they use amateur level lighting, cameras and lenses because their business model is based on maximizing profits. Photography experience is not required, nor do they have creative freedom to give you what you're missing. And they only shoot based on pre-determined settings that are locked in.

Photography That Speaks For Itself
Our High-Impact Photography services will present your products and staff in spectacular fashion. We bring to the table professional grade cameras and lighting. Our goal is to get you out of the studio and capture the essence of your business. We encourage photo shoots at your office or while your on the job to show you in action!

Social Network Profile Design
That's right, we gave a Creative Bang! to Champion AC's Twitter Social Network profiles to extend their brand where it counts.

Marketing Your Business on Social Networks
Social Networking is critical to the success of your business. FaceBook, Twitter and Myspace offer businesses an opportunity to reach potential clients and stay in contact with current clients. We also offer Social Network Marketing.

Original Website Analysis
Champion AC co-owners Ben and Tony wanted a website that was dynamic, elegantly designed to showcase the services and culture of the Champion AC brand while motivating visitors to make contact.

Champion AC Website Redesign Success
When we gained an understanding of Champion AC's culture and services, we were able to create an elegant website design that is truly remarkable.

Layout Overview
The objective of this layout design is to showcase the products, services and culture of Champion AC in grand fashion while maintaining simplicity. We created a showcase area that is designed to generate clicks. The are no sidebars on the home page, promoting vertical reading. The less the eye wanders, the better. The end result, a gorgeous elegant design that sets Champion AC apart from any HVAC business in San Antonio.
