8 August 2011

Denver, Colorado – David Carter’s best-selling books are known globally as the gold standard for creative compilations portraying outstanding work in graphic design.   Design Workshop, an international landscape architecture, land planning, urban design and strategic services firm with six offices in the U.S. and work spanning the globe, is pleased to announce that four of its logos were selected for inclusion in Carter’s Trademarks 1 – Bright Logo Ideas from Around the World.

One of the distinctive service offerings Design Workshop brings to its clients is project naming, identity, and wayfinding sign programs.  Their in-house specialists collaborate closely with planners and architects to fulfill client visions and convey the unique identity and spirit of each project.  Very satisfied client Jennifer Cram, Breckenridge Town Planner, praises this aspect of the firm’s work: "The entire design process has been very rewarding and very educational. It allowed us to create a product that reflects the character of Breckenridge and provides visitors an updated, easy-to-understand way to locate the wonderful amenities of our town."

The logos included in Trademarks 1 for projects City South (Durango, Colo.), Estates at Picket Post (Queen Creek, Ariz.), South Grand (St. Louis, Mo.), and Village at Breckenridge (Breckenridge, Colo.) are great representations of the wide array of civic and campus wayfinding as well as new community, retail and mixed-use, resort, park and transit-sign program work the firm has completed.

Trademarks 1 – Bright Logo Ideas from Around the World is produced exclusively as an e-book by publisher Bright Books and is available for $14.99 online at http://brightbooks.com/Bookstore.html?&Vl=1&Tp=2.
