Logo Design

The Design Cove excels at Logo Design. It’s one of our passions. We love to doodle our hearts out until we have three strong rough concepts. Once we have the logo defined, we offer prototypes in context for our clients to help visualize the outcome.

Print

At The Design Cove, we believe graphic designers are really communication artists. We are trained in delivering information, not just visually. We also look carefully at copy. We pay a lot of attention to what’s being said and how it’s being said. Typography is extremely important. We were trained in formal typesetting, a vital discipline. We understand the importance of kerning and leading and the subtle nuances that show a printed piece was professionally designed, not just ordered from a website.
