Weigand Logo Design by Insight Design Communications, a Kansas Logo Design Company.

For over a century, J.P. Weigand & Sons, Inc. has been instrumental in the growth and development of residential, commercial and industrial real estate in the city of Wichita, its surrounding areas and the state of Kansas. With over a hundred years of equity in the name and a logo that has been seen in Wichita, near Wichita, around Wichita, and all over the Wichita area for 30 years, we concluded that any drastic change would be counter productive for the brand. But, their logo, designed in the 80's, needed some work.

Before, the J.P. Weigand & Sons, Inc. logo used a clunky type for the word 'Weigand' which had little negative space around and inside of the letter forms. For example the "A" became a solid blob, and the letters bled together which made it difficult to read at a distance. We opened up the letter forms in the word 'Weigand' making it much easier to see and read. Also, the basic oval shape was divided by a white block that made it impossible to use with a background color. Weigand was constricked to a white background with the their logo which made their signs disappear in the marketplace. To correct this we enclosed the oval shape so the brand logo could be used with background colors. This was a simple, but important fix because it allowed for designs that use color more dramatically to differentiate Weigand realtor signs from a marketplace filled with predominately white signs.

We also made adjustments to the color and added a piece of history to the brand identity. We changed the bright blue to a deeper more substantial blue befitting the regions real estate leader for over 100 years. We added the historical signature of founder J.P. Weigand, created form vintage letter forms, to elevate the illustrious history of the J.P. Weigand & Sons brand.

All in all, the Weigand brand is now positioned more appropriately in the marketplace. It has a sense of history and emphasizes a reputation of excellence, and quality, which is a perfect fit with their brand promise.

Insight Design Communications is an award winning logo design company with extensive experience in creating custom logo designs for business. We work with businesses all over the U.S. and locally.

Designing logos for churches is not the way to untold wealth, but I have found working with churches surprisingly gratifying. Church leaders intuitively understand a logo design can communicate with deep and profound meaning. The process, usually with committees, has been steady and highly reasoned and the individuals have always been considerate and thoughtful.

We have done logos for several Christian denominations and ministries; Catholic Church and School Logo Design, Evangelical Church Logo Design, Pentecostal Church Logo Design and a Fundamentalist Church Logo Design.

Insight Design Communications, a Kansas Logo Design Company.

The River of Life Worship Center is a Pentecostal church and community center known for the raising of hands in the worship of GOD. (They did pray and raise hands before and after every meeting.) Pastor Greene and the committee that worked with us on the logo and identity were extremely conscientious and gracious in every way. What a fabulous group of people really working to live the Christian life.

The River of Life Church logo is an extremely unique visual where one image can be seen as two different ideas. The logo at one look is hands raised to the heavens reaching for GOD. With another look the logo is the Christian symbol for the Holy Spirit, a dove. Specifically within the Pentecostal beliefs the dove is associated with baptism, of which water is used. Moreover, the two images tell the story of conversion. The hands reaching to GOD in humility become filled with the Holy Spirit, the image of the dove. The conversion, being filled with the Holy Spirit is "The River of Life".

The River of Life Worship Center logo is also a national award winning logo design. It will appear in Rockport Publishers national competition and hard cover book, Logo and Letterhead Design 12. This latest edition in the best-selling annual Letterhead and Logo Design series features the most innovative and exciting work in the field of graphic design and logo design from well-known design leaders, new design firms, and cutting-edge artists throughout the world. This broad range of work is a reflection of the most important logo design work in the USA today.

St.Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church Logo Design USA.

St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church’s intentions is to be fully unified in Christ. 6 beams (- - - I I I) make 3 crosses (+ + +) but, if the 3 crosses are fully unified they multiply to make 9 crosses. The 3 horizontal beams (- - -) represent: Time. Talent. Treasure. The 3 vertical beams (I I I) represent: Father. Son. Holy Spirit. The gold represents the Priest and the blue represents the layity. The logo shows how the layity supports the Priest and that the Priest guides the layity to the Cross, and our Heavenly Father.

Laminate Works is a manufacturer of laminated panels and component parts.

Laminate Works produces laminated panels and component parts using the best employees, machines and technology.

This simple logo speaks clearly to an industrial market with bold blue, black and white graphic design. The “LW” in rectangle panels and one corner turned over explicitly explains Laminate Works primary products, laminated panels. The logo is also designed to work as one color and used in a background “laminate” graphic.

As a successful start-up company in Wichita Kansas Laminate Works quickly expanded it’s reach by moving to Kansas City and then added another location in Dallas Texas. It’s headquarters is in Kansas City but Laminate Works delivers products throughout the Midwest to places like Omaha Nebraska, Topeka Kansas, Oklahoma City Oklahoma, Hutchinson Kansas, Chicago Illinois, Little Rock Arkansas and Des Moines Iowa.

The new Kansas City logo is a contradiction of image and theme. The visual mark a skyline while the message / tagline reads, “New Discoveries Daily”. What could be less of a ‘New Discovery” than a skyline logo for a city? The old logo and message was more of a “Discovery”.

The old Kansas City logo put forth two aspects of the city: 1) that Kansas City has more fountains than any city in the world except for Florence, Italy, and 2) it is located in the center, or heart, of the nation. 2) is not of any value because who cares if Kansas City is in the heart of America, it just means it has no mountains or ocean beaches, nothing to promote. But 1) is amazing, who knew that Kansas City has more fountains than any city in the world except for Florence, Italy? That is a Discovery!

OUR SUGGESTION

What if the logo embodied Kansas City’s most surprising discovery and that visual was the image for the logo. Below is a VERY, VERY quick modification of the old logo which makes a fountain an expression of surprise. What do you think?

The best logo identities and branding work in black and white as well as color. Graphic design trends are now driven more by computer capabilities than by talent and vision. If a designer can’t draw he can always click simple repeated shapes, or plug in some gradations, or stripes, or dots, or lines. All are easy computer task. But, the most successful brand designs start with a compelling concept that functions well in black and white and small. In other words, the best logo designs work small in website or news paper ads as well as full color brochures. It takes hard work though, there are no computer tricks for that.
