Identity

The design of a logo is the result of experiment and a long process of refinement. Ultimately, it should reflect the integrity of the business it symbolizes, and should serve as a solid, yet flexible foundation upon which to build a brand identity program. The effectiveness of the logo is dependant upon how it is used —its arrangement, exposure, and adaptability all contribute to the “personality” of the business. The attention to detail in its usage can be as important as the design of the logo itself, and directly affect its memorability and success.

 Brand Name and Identity Program: 

Securities Industry Foundation for Economic Education

To create a stronger product/brand presence for The Stock Market Game and to position it as the market leader, a unique visual image for this online educational program was developed.  R/S created a new tagline and logo specifically for the web and extended the branding to a variety of print marketing vehicles.  An Identity Guidelines Manual was written and designed for print and web.  A multi-platform CD-ROM was produced to provide stat and local coordinators easy access to these powerful marketing and communication tools.

 Global Identity for a Restructured Company:

EarthData Holdings

Created in the early 1980's, the logo for Photo Science, a Maryland GIS and aerial mapping company, was a product-based photographic concept.  Today, the renamed company is EarthData, a provider of digital imagery, data and programming that has acquired a diverse group of companies nationally.  A new logo was created by R/S that visually represents the transformation of both the organization and the products and services it provides to clients worldwide.  Together with an identity manual for management of the brand, a system of print marketing pieces and a new website, all developed by R/S, EarthData's corporate presence in the global market is expanded and strengthened.

Classroom, Inc.
