CorTrust — Best Bank in South Dakota

Our friends CorTrust Bank won the honor of being named Best Bank in South Dakota for 2019 and 2020 by Forbes Magazine.

CorTrust Bank — Split Personality

CorTrust Split Personality community bank with tech solutions

CorTrust is a community bank that’s locally owned and is quite proud of its outstanding customer service. (That’s probably why Forbes magazine named them The Best Bank in South Dakota in 2019 and again in 2020.) But just because they’re small doesn’t mean they don’t have the all the cool new technology people expect from…

DGR Engineering — Rebrand

DGR Engineering consulted us for help with rebranding their company. The first item on the agenda? A name change.

Let’s Go Jo — Campaign Logo

Let’s Go Jo was the battle cry for Jolene Loetscher’s mayoral campaign in 2018. All political candidates need to convey a confident, capable presence. They need to tell you who they are and what they stand for and sum all that up with a strong, memorable logo. We created this mark to represent an energetic…

Bechtold Jewelry Logo Design

After 100 years of selling fine jewelry in Downtown Sioux Falls, Bechtold’s was ready for a brand refresh. At the time, Annie Bechtold had stumbled across a couple of examples of her grandfather’s signatures and suggested they might be the perfect inspiration for the new logo. We think it looks pretty good on the front…

Augustana — Rattle and Hum

Augustana in Sioux Falls wanted to hold a big celebration for all the donors that made their Momentum Augustana fundraising campaign possible, while also launching their next campaign.
