Kell Communications, Inc. recently came to us looking for an “automobile emblem-style” logo for a client’s new website and re-branding. Here’s the final design they went with:

Check out the client’s current website to see the old version.

My apologies for not updating the blog for a while… things have been extremely busy at ARCHON recently. We have several updates to Life in the Smokies coming soon and I’ve also updated our client’s list an design resources in the sidebar.

We recently created a logo to go along with several flyers and a website for Liberty Run. This local business offers cabin rentals central to many of the sites here in Western North Carolina. If you’re looking for a getaway to the foothills of the Smokies, keep them in mind… the facilities are beautiful!

Ross Gilling and the crew at The Edge Fitness Center have had a crazy couple of months since their opening… we’ve been working with them on their website, and it’s shaping up nicely. Stop in regularly for new services and special offers as they become available.

We just recently put up two new real estate sites:

www.1229southblvd.com

We do For Sale By Owner sites, work with realtors, do online photo albums… whatever you might need. For more information on how we can help you with your next project, large or small, contact us today!

Good luck to the sellers, and let them know if you happen to be looking for property in Rutherfordton, NC or Bethlehem, PA!

Our second project with Z-man Games is nearing completion… Primordial Soup: Freshly Spiced is almost here. Freshly Spiced is the follow-up to the award-winning Primordial Soup game, originally published in Germany as Ursuppe. This Doris and Frank game (Frank’s Zoo) took second place in 1998’s Deutscher Spielepreis and rates highly on www.boardgamegeek.com. Check out Z-man’s website for more details on the game and pricing.

Recently announced is a new joint venture between Foothills Connect Business & Technology Center and e-NC is the Farmers Fresh Market.

The Farmers Fresh Market is a virtual Farmers Market, where Western North Carolina’s farmers and food industry professionals will come together in perfect harmony. The goal is to bring the best produce and meats to the best chefs and deliver it all fresh from the fields, within 24 hours of ordering.
