Grafik is honored to partner with Susan Davis International on a new campaign from the United States Department of Defense called “America Supports You”. This national outreach program allows Americans to show their support for our men and women in the armed forces through a variety of communication tools.

In addition to a creating a logo and collateral identity, Grafik designed a website, www.americasupportsyou.mil, which features photos and letters from both supporters and American troops.

Grafik is proud to have recently designed packaging for the United Way’s “What Matters?” Public Service Announcements (PSAs) which are targeted toward broadcast media outlets. The Grafik design team created eye-catching, professionally compelling packaging to pique the interest of station directors, who receive PSAs daily and don’t have time to review each and every one.

Grafik designed the packaging for a Beta tape and CD-ROM that will be sent to television and radio stations, respectively. Included in each package will be storyboard scripts and thumbnail photographs to give each recipient a high-level introduction to the enticing visual and/or audio materials enclosed. The packaging captures the United Way’s recently refreshed brand essence and tone.

Grafik is pleased to announce that the firm has received 11 awards from the 2004 Creativity 34 competition. The winning entries were for work done with the following clients: American Automobile Manufacturers, George Mason University, Computech, Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, NFL Players, Inc., International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children, Market Salamander and The Fairmont Hotel, Washington, DC.

Grafik is pleased to announce that the firm has added four talented new hires to the roster. We would like to welcome Michael Matoes, Senior Designer, Bryan Kestell, Designer, James Smith, New Media Designer and Krystle Salvador, Account Coordinator.

George Mason University has been working with Grafik to update their athletic logo. For the last 5 months Grafik has worked with members of the athletic department to create a new mark that will be placed on all team uniforms, at center court at the Patriot Center, and on all sports promotional materials.

After an in-depth look at all NCAA member logos, and careful attention to teams in the George Mason conference, Grafik decided to energize the existing stars and stripes mark that the University has been using for the last few years. The new mark will be unveiled in the fall sports season.

Grafik is pleased to be working with Harvard University’s Nieman Foundation to design the Nieman Watchdog website. In addition to designing the site, Grafik will be creating a complete Content Management System (CMS), allowing the site’s writers and editors to post and edit information in real time.

The Nieman Foundation is headed by the esteemed editor Barry Sussman. The goal of the Watchdog website is to encourage journalists to ask deeper and more thorough questions, and thus become better journalists. To learn more about the Nieman Foundation, please go to http://nieman.harvard.edu.
