The first part of the process was to familiarize their organization and the industry in general. In contrast to a large manufacturing company, they essentially follow the processes of a job shop, where they produce bespoke items.
The brand identity was focused on their core values, which are integrity, versatility, and creativity. The colors blue, red, and white are very all-American and symbolize the blue-collar worker.
Robust, bold, and straightforward, the overall identity reflects their hardworking culture and commitment to the highest quality of service and craftsmanship.
