Fairmont came to Vance Publishing looking for insight on some new advertisement
design to be placed into Vance Publishing’s title Furniture Style Magazine. One of
my first projects at Vance was to develop a wordmark for Fairmont’s new line

task, was to develop a series of ads, tabloid-sized, that would be running in the
magazine during the High Point tradeshow.

With the death of traditional sportcard shops, Sportscard Movers opened an
online presence to give wholesalers a place to sell in quantity rather than com-
pete with big boys like eBay. Designing a logo that represented all the variety of
sports that trading cards came and also appeal to a dynamic changing market,
strong primary colors were chosen and a dynamic type treatment was given to
the wordmark. All matching branding was treated the same way.
