attributes unique to a brand's origins and environment. We call this–brandDNA.

approach to brand development, we cultivate viable & sustainable brands—

Web design is no longer an industry buzz word. As a Design Consultancy and Web Design & Development studio in Baltimore, we are constantly developing creative solutions current with the times.

E-Gen brand.
Pixels+Points is pleased to be working with Jos A. Bank on their web site.
Pixels+Points is currently developing the rebranding of Craig L. Snyder’s Dentistry practice. The studio designed a new logo, which was developed from Craig’s name, (and middle initial). Coined ” the dentist with a smile”, Craig L. Snyder wanted to rebrand himself and the practice, creating a more solid visual presence in Baltimore City and County. The new look reflects a slight sense of “humor”, both in the logotype and accompanying merchandise and collateral. Pictured below are business cards, with fun “smile quotes” on the back side of each staff member’s card, further reflecting the humorous tone. Ultimately, the effect of the new branding should be a positive one, with each patient either arriving or leaving with a smile.

our approach
An identity system is the building block of most successful brands. A strong logomark should be both timeless yet contemporary. A well-designed identity system builds equity in the marketplace and elevates the business, product or service to a new level of recognition and purpose. From the initial concepts to project completion, we create identities that stand out in the crowd and stand the test of time and change.
Consistency is the key to successful brands. While a logomark can be considered the kernel of a brand's growth, its value is established and made credible in the marketplace through the use of effective sales and marketing branches. We help our clients examine their existing logo and strategize on the best ways to effectively apply their brand forward throughout print and interactive media.
Design has the power to decorate a space, inform the public, drive sales and most importantly, inspire change. We believe that "design" is more than a trend or catch phrase. It is more than a color scheme or slogan. Design permeates our culture. We live and breathe it in the decisions we make throughout our daily routines. Whether it be a brand of toothpaste or wall paint, chances are, someone has designed, packaged and strategically positioned that product to entice us to purchase it over others.
But good design is much more than mere decoration. It is, more importantly,
about effective communication. From the smallest pixel of an image, to
the point size of the letterform, we believe that every business, brand
and individual has a message that needs crafting. We help businesses identify
who they are, what they want to say, and use the power of the image and
word to creatively craft their message to the right audience.

After
the time in New York, John returned to Washington D.C. where he worked
as the lead designer on a wide range of online interactives for museums
and cultural institutions, most notably, The National Air & Space
Museum, The National Museum of the American Indian, Princeton University's
new art museum, and The Phillips Collection's restrospective on artist
Jacob Lawrence.
In 2000, John joined Fusion Pop, a small studio focusing
on small businesses and non-profit organizations. There he produced print
and online initiatives for regional and local names such as EMI/Virgin

orking closely with
Baltimore-based IT global testing leader, Prometric™,
we developed a complete multimedia and print suite to secure a lucrative
global contract with Cisco.
The concept for the entire package revolved around Cisco's tagline, "Welcome
to the human network." Both the CD artwork and the interactive presentation
reflected the global reach of both companies by utilizing a visual "timeline" of
the globe, animating and moving simultaneously through key areas of the
world, from right to left. Starting out in Cisco's San Francisco, the
animation moves through the key 9 points of the presentation, while wrapping
around the globe, and eventually making its way back to California with
the message "Welcome back." The widespread success our work has
led to its translation into several languages and shown at key global offices.
We recently designed a promotional mini-site for
electro-pop band Moenia, in conjuction with the release
of their new album, Solar. The landing page featured a rotating
galaxy and solar system as an interactive navigation tool. A blog and
fan message board are in the works. MoeniaSolar.com
Formerly Thomson Prometric™, Prometric™
recently partnered with Pixels+Points to create a complete branding
initiative for their presentation to Microsoft Corporation.
We designed and developed a collateral package which included
data sheets, a CD-ROM package, proposal cover and pocket folder.
Utilziing the "starburst"
element from the Thomson Prometric logotype as a base, we branded
both the print package and the multimedia presentation which illustrated
the global IT partnership the two companies share. Prometric's
pitch, along with the collateral items and CD-ROM interactive,
created quite the impact, so much so, that Prometric is now the
sole source Microsoft vendor for all of their IT test certification
centers around the globe.Congratulations to the Prometric sales
team.
Logomark for the 2007 Baltimore Rowing Championships, an annual regatta featuring local high school rowing teams.
Pixels+Points recently branded a new Prometric testing

pre-testing jitters.
In collaboration with Studio Spear, we've just finished
the "revamping"
of Pierce's Pitt Bar-B-Que Web site. The new homepage
features a more prominent navigation system with animated icons
and dropdowns, flames and smoke. Utilizing the exisiting design
and layout as a base, we added textures and wood grain patterns,
adding depth to the homepage and more actively directing the viewer
to the site's intended target...buying sauce (in both original
and honey!) Sauce

We are developing a new look for their corporate Web site and accompanying
verticals, (i.e. sailing, curling and archery).
With the recent success
of Spring Awakening and Duncan Sheik's accompanying score, we
recently created a design proposal for a potential resissuing and repackaging
of Sheik's last album "White Limousine". The new packaging
would be a traditional jewel case design with a black & "white" slip
cover. Removal of the slip cover reveals the amazing full-color imagery
throughout. An 8-page booklet, inlay tray
graphics and the silkscreened "car wheel" CD face art, round
out the package.
noteworthy
Pixels+Points was recently awarded a Silver
Medal in the 2007 Baltimore Addy Awards for their identity
package. Printed as a one-color package with a blind emboss of the
logomark, the stationery system included a business card, letterhead,
