Lawn care companies are like any other business looking to build consumer confidence through branding, and quality service.  Branding a lawn care company can be done in many ways.  A very important task is keep your appearance consistent to establish a sense of brand for your company.  In other words you want people to recognize your lawn care company without the need to read a book on your business card, truck graphics, or yard sign.  A company logo can help you create a sense of brand by showing it on everything you do.

Sibley Lawn Care is Dothan, Alabama came to 509 Media in need of a lawn care company logo, business cards, graphics for their new Isuzu Box truck, and more.  We started with the company logo first.  The lawn care company business card design you see here is straight to the point.  It showcases the lawn care company logo and makes the name stand out to the person viewing the business card.  The same logo will be used on full color yard signs and vinyl graphics for the Isuzu Box Truck.

For updates on this and other projects be sure to check back to 509 Media soon.

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

benttwisted_cardsI have known Mike for many years.  His company Bent and Twisted Fabrication bought parts from me when I opened Blue Torch FabWorks.  He has been in the offroad vehicle fabrication business for a few years now and understands how to build a good looking and functional offroad buggy.  The business card layout for his offroad business used his existing logo that he provided to 509 Media.  We used the colors from the logo to layout the background graphics.  We used simple easy to read fonts on the business cards.  The front side of the business cards were UV coated and the rear was left un-coated to provide a place to write notes.  The cards were printed on thick 16 pt card stock.

If you need a business card layout designed and printed be sure to contact 509 Media.  Our rates are very affordable.

dadscaps_mockup

Donna at Dads Caps contacted me through a forum I post on.  She makes custom welding caps for both professional and recreational welders.  If you are a welder you should check out her WEBSITE. You will find custom welding caps with many different designs.

Dadscaps.com was in need of a sticker for their vehicle.  Since Dadscaps.com did not have a logo to use we put together something to fit their budget and fit the application.  The logo will be printed on vinyl to create a full color decal for their truck.  If they decide to use the design on their website and even embroider the design into their caps they can.

The icon in the logo is a line representation of a welding cap.  If you do not know what a welding cap is you might not get it.  So be sure to check out the caps on their website for reference.

TTP (Texas Truck Performance) contacted 509 Media to design a new business card for their truck accessory business in Texas.  TTP was looking for an updated design to better match the style of their company.  The business cards were printed in full color front and rear.  The rear of the business card has an area for writing quotes.  The rear of the card did not receive a UV coating to make it shine.  The front of the business cards did get the UV coating.

TTP received their business cards a few days ago and have been very happy with customer response.  Everyone coming in their truck accessory business has wanted to put a business card in their pocket and take it with them.  A business card can be a very effective sales ad if used correctly.  In the automotive industry business cards are all about flashy.  Call 509 Media today to get a free quote on doing your company business cards.

Rusty Nuts Fabrication Logo Design

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

dsc_9347David from Rusty Nuts Fabrication has been around the offroad community for many years.  I first met David through Pirate4x4 about 4 years ago.  We went on a rock crawling trip with other friends at the now famous Hammer Trails in Johnson Valley, California.  Rusty Nuts Fabrication manufactures some really nice fiberglass hoods for Jeeps and custom buggies.  If you are in the market for a custom hood you should check out Rusty Nuts Fabrication.

The Rusty Nuts Fab logo design needed to be colorful and stand out in the crowd.  509 Media answered the call and went to work on the project.  The logo was created in Adobe Illustrator originally and the effects we added in Photoshop.  The rusty textures and extruded surfaces give the logo life.  The new Rusty Nuts Fabrication logo design should look really cool on an offroad buggy getting across the dry lake bed in Johnson Valley.  We are also printing stickers for this project.  More info on the the Rusty Nuts Fab Stickers coming soon.

Boyd Welding Business Cards

Posted by: Dan | Comments (4)
Thursday, February 4th, 2010

boyd_welding-business_cardsBoyd Welding is a premier fabricator of custom aluminum fuel tanks and fuel cells located in Florida. Dave at Boyd Welding contacted 509 Media to handle the graphic design of their new business card.  They wanted a full color business card that would increase recall with potential customers.  Recall is basically the ability to remember the business card and company brand.  In some businesses a full color business card printed front and rear would not fit the business model and/or target audience.  In a fabrication business catering to the automotive industry a business card branded this way gets the job done.

The Boyd Welding graphic design process went through a number of mock ups looking for the right fit.  We asked Dave to take a picture of a tig welded aluminum pass on one of his custom fuel tanks.  Using the pen tool in Photoshop we cropped out the weld to place over the metal back ground featured on the graphic design. On the rear of the business card we cut a gap down the center to give the feel of two pieces of metal being welded together. The rear of the business card features the “B” from Boyd Welding’s logo design enlarged and dropping off of the card.  The front of the card features the company logo and the aluminum welded center.

The business cards will be printed in full color front and rear on 16 pt card stock.  The front side of the business cards will receive a UV coat to make the cards shine.  We elected to omit the UV coating from the rear side of the business cards for one simple reason.  The UV coat makes the finish glossy and difficult to write on.  By omitting the UV coating from the read side of the business cards the client will be able to write simple notes on the business cards.

Contour Cut Full Color Stickers for Country Crossings

Posted by: Dan | Comments (2)
Friday, January 8th, 2010

dsc_8133I got a call from a Dothan area sign shop to print 10 inch round Country Crossing Stickers a few days before the troubles began or them with this week’s shut down “due to safety” reason.  I guess Country Crossing was attempting to have their valet parking signs in place before the law enforcement raid.  If you have not heard the story about Country Crossing be sure to check out Rick Stokes News for more details.  Country Crossings is back open for business.  Be sure to visit their website.

Anyway back to the important issue at hand.  Printed, laminated, and contour cut stickers.  The stickers were printed on our 64″ Mutoh Toucan LT with wave technology.  The vinyl used on the full color stickers for this project was 3M CV3.  The vinyl is expensive to make a simple sticker but the signs Country Crossing needed to use them will be left outside.

If you have no clue what a contour cut is I will explain.  It is a vector path placed around the outside shape of the graphic thus cutting the image out. A vector path in simple terms is a line drawn the computer to let them plotter know where to cut the stickers out..  The more curves in a design the more difficult it can become to create the contour cut.  There is not a lot special about the Country Crossing stickers.  I though I would share for those interested in reading.

Please note 509 Media is NOT the grapgic designer for the Country Crossing logo design.

iPhone Skins for Droopy and Kim Sears of Rock Out Racing

Posted by: Dan | Comments (0)
Thursday, January 7th, 2010

pinkrockout_iphoneIf you have been anywhere around rock racing over the past few years the names Droopy (Nathaniel) and Kim Sears will ring a bell.  Droopy and Kim are a husband and wife team competing in professional rock racing. Their team name is Rock Out Racing.  It is very cool to see female drivers getting it on the course.  Be sure to look out for the Droopy and Kim Sears in featured articles on the net and printed publications.

I should mention the iPhone skin as the skin is the reason for making this post.  Droopy sent a message to me a few days ago asking for some iPhone skins to help promote their race team brand.  He wanted to a graphic design for his wife with pink elements added.  Rather than changing the color of the logo to pink I dropped in a pink pattern in the back ground and added a few effects which resulted in what you see.  If you would like to discuss branding opportunities with 509 Media be sure to contact us.  We can build custom graphic designs to suit the need of your race team or company.

For more information on Rock Out Racing and rock racing be sure to visit their website.  You will find pictures from events such as King Of The Hammers, XRRA, and more.  Tell them 509 Media sent you.
