Careful branding can foster a cascading effect within an organization effecting all aspects of business. With over twenty years of client history you will see that we can give your vision a voice. Whether working to give an existing brand a jolt of new life or beginning the process from scratch...
Ubangi can help you!
Through careful research both internally and in the market we gain in site into the coming decisions. Surveys and focus group testing gather critical information for the development of brand. Creating an exacting message and overall tone for the mission of the company is used as a benchmark guide throughout the rest of the work to be done. It will serve as the mantra for the business and its efforts to educate the public as to its presence and vision. This type of testing can not be underdone. At every stage user testing can serve to keep the project on point with the overall message. Look and feel must be chosen before development can begin. This is the point where we consider bias, trend, color palette, logo, along with any core brand elements. Documentation is another important part of brand as it provides for sustainability. Brand should be addressed at the beginning of any new campaign work to insure it shows in the end project ensuring the overall brand does not suffer brand creep. Working in house to train staff and business partners to use your brand correctly is incredibly beneficial. It's often the difference from a successful brand delivery or a lack luster reception. Once released continued internal support and efforts to promote and grow the brand awareness are required to maintain sustainability in brand design. On the front end of a brand release you will find user experience directs most all decisions regarding brand direction and overall perception. This work is achieved by continued user testing and product development. In todays market it is ultimately about the experience with your company that will determine customer sales and loyalty.

We have worked over twenty years in the visual communication field and have an extensive background in graphic design and print media. We have worked with many newspapers, and publishers of books and magazines. Not only can Ubangi develop your project with the highest quality standards but we can see it through to delivery. In general Ubangi has spent years developing a strong network of very talented printers and other vendors enabling me to get a better balance between budget and quality. Let's talk you will be amazed at the possibilities.
Once the conceptual portion of brand is complete the process of creating the file image into a graphical from begins. Whether we are designing new work to fit within the parameters of an existing brand or build the brand for the first time we are sensitive to brand integrity. When we create logos for companies we can work in very limited context but much prefer to work within an establish design process by which the logo is carefully developed to work in all final applications. We firmly believe that if it doesn't look good in black & white it will not look good in color and visa-versa. By following this product development we achieve well rounded versatile reproducible works. Our services include all post production file preparation and asset management. Whether its a single run ad/flier or a full run multi-part advertising campaign we provide full services. Including photography, technical/copy writing, contract negotiation and fulfillment. Our direct mail services include labeling and sorting, proper postal design for the smoothest delivery of your message through the mail. Email campaign work is also available. Marketing often requires design for items outside the scope of traditional printing such as package design, and or things like pens and key chains. We offer architectural rendering and technical illustration for presentation and publication. Our technical background in training material development makes us a unique choice; being able to offer both the technical as well as the creative and stylized illustration of any subject. Coming from years in the field Ubangi brings typographical design to a new level in the support of brand and message. Again in our opinion, if the type is off so is the message.

Our web graphics meet the highest quality standards and are fully optimized for the best delivery. This part of a project heavily involves tracking, meta-work, and networking. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a process by which we take user feedback and usability testing and pair them up with statistical log analysis to tune and drive traffic. Companies who need portal technology and easy access to large quantities of information can benefit from the development of a CMS. These systems are the most difficult up front to develop but are the simplest at the maintenance stage of site work. These can be developed from code up or there are many open source options available. Our studio has currently adopted Joomla as our favorite to work with but we are not limited to any one style. ADA testing, certification services and cross platform testing can be done to make a site truly universal. This involves extensive testing and application for compliance certification. Sites designed for use in special industries or markets have specific requirements to meet to become certified. This belongs in its own category within business consulting and marketing but merits being mentioned here. Sites requiring higher ROI require more time getting into the psyche of their audience. User testing and focus group beta testing are required to complete this work. Careful studies of click through and information architecture are applied to this type of development and design.
