Website design and development can be constructed in virtually any look or format but, if you want great search results "different" can be bad. Normally, "different" is good for any kind of design including logo design and website design. 'Different" is what gets your logo design or website design noticed over the compatition. "Different" is what helps your brand connect with consumers in a unique and lasting way. But, search engines like website designs, website architecture and website structures to follow a specific outline. If your website design steps outside of the perscribed search engine ideals your website will suffer in low organic search results. The ideal website design should appear unique in design and relevant in content but also stay within the guidelines search engines prefer. Also, the content of the best website design would include discriptive keyword terms. For example, for a blog that wanted to attract customers in need of website design it should include the term "website design" but even better would be to narrow the search terms. For example the term "website design wichita" would narrow the search from a global one to a local one resulting in more visitors to your website. So "different" is good if it stays within the ideal website design paramitors.

Tanya's Soup Kitchen logo design is Tanya herself and a bowl of soup in the same image. The Tanya's Soup Kitchen logo design is a visual manifestation or metaphor to show Tanya is the equal of a true artist. Tanya puts herself into her creations, her art, her soup.
In the logo design Tanya's face is the bowl, her mouth is the spoon, her eyes are splashes/droplets and her hair is the steam. All the shapes and lines of this logo where drawn and drawn again then scanned into digital form and re-drawn digitally. All the edges and curves were smoothed and softened to invite the viewer and remind the consumer of how beautifully delicious Tanya's soups really are.
Tanya and the Tanya's Soup Kitchen logo design and brand identity have become interchangeable, recognized as one-in-the-same. All the graphic design in Tanya's brand identity reflects and has become the symbol for Tanya's attitudes and personality. Tanya has become more than a proprietor of  a sheik restaurant, she has become a food goddess and a beacon for sub-culture lifestyles and attitudes. The lines early anticipating a bowl of Tanya's amazing soup often extend from one side of the restaurant to the other and even out of the door. Tanya has become famous in the Wichita area and well know in the highest perches of the food industry.Join the attitude at

Figural logo designs might be the most used in all logo design history. Figural logo designs were most popular in the first half of the 20th century before computers, when drawing skills were highly advanced. Today, a figural logo can be a definite benefit to any brand identity. Here, the figure is used to represent the abstract concept of all artist. The figure is raising up a star which symbolizes the idea of art. The figure raising the star shows the artist hanging his work to share with the world. The confetti and streamers running through the figure and the star symbolizes a celebration in the process of the artist sharing his art. He is raising art and it is that act that also raises spirits. It's a celebration of the uplifting effects of art.

Not all logo designs are made with images, some are made with texts and images while others are simply text. A logo design that is only text is called a typography logo, logotype, wordmark or signature mark. The type can be very straight forward or illustrated to communicate a specific feeling or attitude.
Squeezer's Palace is a re-creation of a 70's ice cream store. We developed typography for the logo based on historical 70's fonts. We hand illustrated the logo letterforms to match the essence of the original hand drawn logo. Redesigning the letterforms also allowed us to make the logo more compact and there fore more legible as store signage.

Animal logo designs are ancient history in graphic design terms, but as in any endeavor, creativity and a unique perspective applied to tried and true concepts can make a very impressive visual statement. Animals allow for virtually any expressive idea and are universally understood.The Surfing Bull concept restaurant logo design is a remix of the old boring "Surf and Turf" terminology. Surfing Bull is a steak and seafood restaurant. The logo illustration is based loosely on Cubist drawings by Pablo Picasso which embodies the logo design with a funky alternative look and feel. The bull is actually surfing, riding a wave. The surf board cleverly illustrates the water with it's bottom line.Client: Surfing Bull logo design

A character logo uses a face or figure in an exaggerated illustration style to tell the most impactful story possible. Character logo designs are most commonly used for major sport franchise logo designs and even local small town sport team logo designs. The Central Raiders logo design is a character logo illustrated to endow the bandit, the mascot, with extra toughness and meanness. The bandit has been the school mascot for over 50 years so he was maintained as the logo. Elements were added to the bandit such as the hat with the letter "R" and the handkerchief to be sold as merchandise and add extra fan excitement at sporting events.

The Z Hair Academy website design had a variety functions and desired outcomes. Z Hair Academy wanted to replace pay-per-click advertising that cost thousands of dollars a month with organic search results or natural search results, inform prospective students and allow them to enroll online and make it easy for the Z Hair Academy staff to manage, change and update the web site.

We developed a Content Management System (CMS) website that enabled Z Hair Academy to manage, change and keep the Z Hair Academy web site up-to-date and relevant. We also informed and educated Z Hair Academy how to manage their own Search Engine Optimization (SEO). We designed a website with dynamic web pages. (Dynamic web pages are websites that are generated at the time of access by a user or change as a result of interaction with the user and dynamic web pages are a fundamental part of Web 2.0 which facilitates information sharing across multiple websites.) The Z Hair Academy website design also has an online catalog so prospective students can discover and learn about what Z Hair Academy has to offer, and with the web based enrollment form Z Hair Academy can fill classes without even the cost of paper. The Z Hair Academy web site also includes an easy to update online events calendar which is a great way to inform prospective students and an excellent way to bring visitors back to the website again and again. Furthermore, the website has a photo gallery that allows Z Hair Academy to upload photos and create new sets so they can showcase visiting instructors like Sally Rogerson. The website gallery also makes it easy for Z Hair Academy to share special events, products, new hairstyling techniques, new hair styles and the latest fashion shifts.  The Academy can also upload pre-designed coupons which keeps Academy customers coming back to the website and back to get styled, cut and colored. We also made Z Hair Academy website design social, with easy click to share buttons. The Z Hair Academy website design is a living tool that helps The Academy stay one step ahead of the crowd.

The Z Hair Academy website design is doing well already with organic search or natural search results. For example, Google keyword search for "hair academy Kansas' Z Hair Academy website design shows up three times on the first page of Google search results at #2, #3 and #5 out of 12,600,000 results. Google keyword search for "hair academy Lawrence' Z Hair Academy website design shows up three times on the first page of Google search results at #1 out of 12,800,000 results. Bing keyword search for "hair academy Kansas' Z Hair Academy website design shows up  on the first page of Bing search results at #2 out of 55,700,000 results.(Search engines usually offer two types of search results to their customers: Pay-Per-Click results--typically at the top or on the side and organic or natural results. While Pay-Per-Click  results can get your Web site to rank higher for a specific keyword phrase (because you've paid to be high in the results), most customers consider these results to be little better than advertising, and will often skip over them in favor of the natural or organic search results.)

Dr. Jay Harness is accredited with a number of significant medical and healthcare breakthroughs. He treats the whole person. He introduced oncoplastic reconstruction to patients when he arrived in Orange County in 2003. We developed a brand strategy with Whisper and the website design and brand identity that relate back to a patients file folder because we want consumers to get the facts about Dr. Jay harness. He has the goods, his resume reads longer than most novels. The tag-line, "We live you" was developed to express how Dr. Jay Harness and his team treat, patients. We also developed a Geo-tagging search engine optimization (SEO) strategy for excellent Google rankings in a variety of location area searches like "breast cancer surgery anaheim". www.drjayharness.com ranks number one for keyword search "breast cancer surgery anaheim" and many others. We also developed an easy to populate blog and client "how-to-education" so Dr. Jay Harness and his team can ad content regularly. The website design is unique and different so it is clear to clients  that this is not the usual. Dr. Jay Harness MD. FACS is different.

We always enjoy working with Whisper, one of the most innovative strategic brand consultancies in the global marketplace known for positioning clients so they "own the conversation".Website Design Wichita, the website of Tracy Holdeman and his team. We are an exceptional website design, graphic design and logo design team for local Wichita Kansas websites as well as website designs and marketing strategies for clients from all over the U.S.

Logo designs that use company initials have been common from the beginning of graphic design and branding. An initial logo design is simply a logo that uses the initials of the company name. The key to this common type of logo designis to develop a truly unique image that holds visual interest. Shallow Valley Foods uses the "S" and "V" from Shadow Valley. The 'S" is a geometric and three dimensional ribbon weaving in and out of the "V". The three dimensional effect is done without the use of gradations for better printing and visual impact on virtually any application. The 3D illusion is created with white space to show one element in front of the other and two shades of red to show depth. The combination of weaving and depth create a visually memorable logo design.
