06.18.10 – Remodeled Logo and Website for Regional Architecture Firm
When it came time for Integrus Architecture to update its logo and website, the firm knew it wouldn’t be anything at all like designing a building. So they turned to Anderson Mraz Design for some help in the 2-D realm. Integrus, now in its 57th year, has offices in both Spokane and Seattle.
“Working with a company like Integrus can be daunting,” said AMD principal and creative director CK Anderson. “The history,
the breadth of their work, the impact they’ve had on our community – it’s something that was always at the front of our
minds as we worked through the design process.”
Ultimately, said Anderson, the experience was a rewarding one for the entire AMD team.
“They’re an incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and well-prepared group,” said Marcine Herron, associate in charge of business development at Integrus. “And they have an impeccable work ethic,” she added.
Throughout the entire process, Herron said, AMD was patient and helpful – and, most important, creative. “We were challenged to think outside of our comfort zone to discover the best representation of who Integrus is.”
Herron reports that Integrus staff members are especially pleased with the results.

02.16.10 – AMD Does Some Fabricating of Its Own for Local Metal Shop
When it came time to consider a more aggressive marketing strategy, Spokane Valley metal fabricators Hydrafab Northwest realized they needed more than just a brochure.

“It became an exercise in re-evaluating their brand,” said CK Anderson, principal and creative director at AMD. “The experts at Hydrafab work at a level that simply wasn’t being expressed... more > (PDF 676K)
02.01.10 – AMD Authors University of Northern Colorado Tagline
In mid-January, when the University of Northern Colorado unveiled the school’s brand identity, tagline, and marketing messages to assembled students, faculty, and staff, few knew that a design firm a thousand miles away helped lay the groundwork for the celebration.
UNC’s new tagline, “Bringing Education to Life,” was created by Anderson Mraz Design, and forms the basis of the school’s year-long efforts to capture the essence of the UNC experience. Working with vice president of university relations Chuck Leonhardt, AMD dug deep into the school’s identity, culture, and philosophy – then distilled those thoughts and ideas into a four-word phrase that helps to communicate the benefits of a UNC education to a wider audience.

But it’s not always an easy sell, according to PE Systems director of marketing Kathleen Sullivan. “Both in telemarketing and in selling to executives, credibility is a huge issue,” she explained. “It’s hard to earn and harder still to communicate.
