| The Client | The TopStax Solution |
 Branded Marketing Solutions is a premier full-service, one-stop shop for promotional products and branded apparel intended to leave a lasting impression for their client's needs. |
TopStax was charged with creating a branded look and identity for this promotional products company. The client wanted a look that would tie into the color red, as the staff would always dress in red at networking events. They also wanted a simple look so that the focus of their work would be on their client's brand. TopStax provided the the logo, business cards, letterhead and note cards. "This looks great! Exactly what we needed!!" Julie Walker, Principal, Branded Marketing Solutions |
 Cass-Willow consultants have over 20 years of dedicated experience and training in the business areas we service. We value broad vision, scalable planning, and a cross-functional approach to business management. |
TopStax was charged with revamping the brand identity. The client had previously used a generic tree element but wanted something more like a Willow tree, and they also wanted it to look more organic than what they had, but not photographic in nature. TopStax revamped the tree, building it from scratch in Adobe Illustrator. This allows the client to scale up or down the image with no "jaggies", and the letterforms are now more closely tied to the tree element. Here's what the client said about our work: “TopStax provides that rare combination of creativity and productivity.... (The logo) was EXACTLY the vision I had but couldn't articulate. All this within a tight budget and short timeframe. A lot of technical people think they can design because they understand the tools. The TopStax team actually has the creativity, and can back it up with business sense and thorough understanding of the tools to execute the job.” Sylvia Brophy, Owner of Cass-Willow |
 GAPPP is the Georgia Association of Promotional Products Professionals, a not-for-profit regional association formed to promote the highest level of promotional product standards to our members and to provide a fun, positive environment for professional growth and development with education and support. |
TopStax was tasked with revamping the static, non-interactive website of this trade group. The focus on the rebuild was to make the site a real business and networking hub for its members, and to make updating the content quick and painless for the non-technically-oriented. It also had to tie into Facebook, but not be on Facebook. TopStax conducted interviews with GAPPP's representatives, and researched options, finally selecting the Ning as the platform. Next we created a look and feel and implemented it on the Ning platform, and tied it into Facebook via a 'Fanbox'. Finally we worked with the client to develop content and to conduct training on the use and maintenance of the site. Here's what the client said about our work: “This new website is awesome--very interactive and alot like Facebook.” Eric R Carr, President of GAPPP  |

Future projects for OpenRemote include developing collateral materials, trade show assets and the like. "I like the (website) look right now. Light. It is good. Marc Fleury, Founder of OpenRemote and JBoss
