The new vision of Crucé is centered more around the idea that “we” are a group of designers, developers, writers, and yes, geeks, that care deeply about the connection or cross between communication and design. Our goal is to provide our clients with a unified perspective about their web and graphic marketing to help speak their message to the masses.
Website: With a new focus on web development as well as print and graphic design, we wanted to launch a site that gave users bigger pictures of our work. We also added the feature of a blog to help clients get a better picture of the skills and philosophy that drives our business.
Logo: Our new logo, crafted in vision by the collaborators and illustrated by Black Sheep Studio is actually the face of owner and lead geek Daniel Kedinger. We wanted people to feel a connection with the business, to feel you know us before you ever meet us. The hair and glasses strives to impress upon our clients that we are trendy geeks.

The Office of Seminarians publishes a yearly poster of all the men studying for the Roman Catholic Priesthood. The goal of this poster was to be a bit more edgy than a standard poster while encouraging young men to consider the priesthood.
This is a spread for the Spring 2006 issue of Create Magazine. The magazine is nationally printed with local editions for different regions. We designed the spread for the Capital Region (Washington D.C., Virginia and Maryland) edition.
