Holiday Greetings

Hoping your Christmas was merry and your new year is happy, from everyone at modern8.

We've Moved

A few weekends ago we packed up and moved our offices to 561 West 200 South. We're still near the downtown area, but lunch choices have greatly improved. We're only a half a block from the new Gateway development and across the street from a new cafe. You can park right on the street in front of the office (no meters) and walk in the ground floor front door.

Not unlike our former office, it's another cool old building but with a new interior. We've got room to grow with 3,200 square feet and a loft bedroom Randall's son claims he's going to live in during the summer. (Fat chance.) Our phone, fax and emails remain the same. Stop by and check it out, although there's still a few things to finish before the open house party.


Who Is modern8?

In case you missed out on the last eNews, modern8 is the new name for some old faces. Randall Smith (a very old face) of Smith Sligting Partners, is the Creative Director, together with a team of employees that go back as many as seven years. modern8 is the modern name for a company that has a lot of experience, but doesn't want to call attention to names. We're graphic designers that work in both traditional and new media to solve communication and marketing problems.

Yescozette

The latest Yescozette for Young Electric Sign Company is off the press in record time. The issue is a regular occurrence for customers and employees of YESCO and shows off the recently completed Las Vegas Bally's spectacular on the cover. New signs throughout the western United States were featured in the oversize 11" x 14" publication. modern8 not only designs, but also directs the photography, writing and printing for each issue.

A few years ago, YESCO gave each of their top-ranking salespeople a leather bomber flight jacket. We just designed the fourth in an annual series of embroidered patches for the jacket that commemorate YESCO sales incentives. Other projects recently completed include a leasing capability brochure and the annual custom employee birthday card.
Becden Dental Laboratories
Becden Mailer A translucent envelope and an engaging headline bring attention to the direct mail solicitation for Becden Dental Laboratories. The message and design both position Becden as the leading supplier of aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry solutions to doctors nationwide. modern8 also completed the Becden Bridge, a newsletter for customers, and has nearly finished a new web site. Each marketing vehicle, whether print or interactive, follows a consistent corporate identity program that reinforces the brand and keystone message.

Eight Man T-Shirt
Keeping with our holiday tradition of producing a T-shirt for our clients, the new Eight Man T-shirt is available in three different colors: navy blue, forest green and royal blue. The symbol only is printed on the front of shirts in the familiar yellow. If you're a client, but haven't received your T-shirt, call us. If you're not a client, cool T-shirts are just one of the reasons you should be.

Revamped Identity for Furst

Furst Logo

Without giving up the visual equity in an existing logo, modern8 re-designed the identity of Furst Construction Company. The basic elements of the old logo were not lost in the transformation to the new identity. Viewers will recognize the new logo as a fresh, modern approach, but they still recognize that it belongs to Furst--an important consideration to a company that has been in business for 28 years. The new corporate identity has been applied to everything from business cards to T-shirts and mugs. The new look will next show up in a comprehensive proposal binder and format that is now in progress. Furst will use the binder to introduce themselves to potential clients.
