A special thank you to Bob Wall, BOX5 Santa, for allowing me to develop a unique logo for his Christmas Experience. A unique request and representation, just as any other icon for your brand should be, and yes, there indeed is a story behind this.

Thank you, Bob, for your patience and trust in allowing this work to come to fruition!

Enjoy!

UPDATE on clients list for wait list Logos: Randy Phelix-you are on deck. Please confirm your intention to move forward.

10/23/2024

I have worked with many clients in my plus 50 years as a graphics professional, and to say one day is like another would be an absolute falsehood.

Every client request, need and intention is different from another. So each and every creative developed has to serve it's own intention, it's purpose, and each and everyone has it's own personality.

This last project satisfies every single touchpoint and more.

There is a story behind every single illustrative logo design created in my studio, and the imagery opens up enough room for discussion and questions for answers to be shared.

I encourage you to look not at the image itself but the elements that make up the image as a whole. Like moments in our lives, there are symbols that we can relate to that help tell our own stories.

Could you take a moment to think about that? What elements would we need to collect that describe moments in your life, perhaps who you are, or even like sea shells collected on the beach, images that help tell of our journeys in life.

In the meantime, enjoy your day, as I hope you enjoy this finished project for TJ Sipes and his family.

I specialize in working with clients and creating unique logos. I enjoy the conversations and learning about how each logo represents the mission of Ambassadors of The True Spirit of Christmas. It's clear that elements of their community and target market help shape the design of these logos.

These logos are more than just standard symbols - each one tells a unique story, making them more personal and engaging for those who come across them in messages, emails, websites, printed materials, and social media.

I want to give a special thanks to Everrett and Dana Prostrollo for their patience, trust, and most importantly, for sharing their excitement about their new logo.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Anyone engaged in Logo Design work with Derek Dugan Creative.

When proofs are delivered for decision making, suggested edits, you will have 48 hours for proofing from time of receipt. If no response is received after that time frame, your project will be put on hold and your project will fall in position to the next in line.

Due to increased proofing times, delays in production, development, and proofing, cause delays in the work for other clients. Since many have be patient and wait times are extensive due to the amount of time it takes to develop concepts, edits and final files, this adoption is necessary.

Due to the intensity of these illustrated logos and the complexity of design, these precautions need to be put in place immediately.

Thank you for your support and your understanding.

Well, what can I say, another project is complete, and delivered to a satisfied client. It was an honor to once again work with a brother in red to complete his wishes. ❤️

He provided a little note of appreciation below. Thank you Mark DeMonbrun for your trust, patience and support! Fly high in the spirit my brother.

Shared from Mark:

I had the pleasure of working with Derek Dugan Creative to design a logo for The Real Santa Mark, and the results were nothing short of outstanding. Derek truly captured the essence of what I wanted to convey—joy, warmth, and the timeless spirit of Santa Claus.

From the initial consultation to the final delivery, Derek demonstrated an exceptional level of creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail. He listened carefully to my vision, provided valuable insights, and worked diligently to ensure that the final design exceeded my expectations. The logo is not only visually appealing but also perfectly aligns with The Real Santa Mark’s identity.

I highly recommend Derek Dugan Creative to anyone looking for top-tier design work. His ability to translate ideas into a powerful visual identity is unmatched. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.

Thank you Derek!
