Mobilizing Cancer Care

Congratulations to client and Near Southside neighbor, Moncrief Cancer Institute, on their brand-new, state-of-the-art mobile clinic! We may have designed the outside, but the inside is the exciting part. Soon, services like cancer screenings, one-on-one exercise sessions, personalized nutrition planning, clinical support and more will be coming directly to the people of Tarrant County and surrounding areas.

On Our Honor

This was the second year Schaefer got to produce the annual TCU Baseball video. The team was coming off a very successful year, yet they still felt the sting of coming up short in the College World Series. For 2015, both the coaches and players had an even greater resolve to take it all the way to the championship.
Based on the Boy Scout oath, “On Our Honor” is a promise to themselves, their teammates, coaches and fans to follow the path of selflessness, energy and excellence.
This was another fun shoot with N8 Visuals out at Heart of the Ranch in Clearfork, another Schaefer client. Even the non-Horned Frogs here at Schaefer are excited to see how far TCU Baseball can go this year. Go Frogs! #toadtoomaha
 

Flash Global Logistics was in need of a new logo that more accurately reflected their brand identity – including the company’s global solutions, evolving culture and growing customer base of emerging companies. Considering the scope and implications of a change on this scale, we would like to prepare for a full rebranding initiative, beginning with the development of a new logo and associated identity style guide.
The new logo needed to convey a progressive look and reflect the company’s evolving culture and growing customer base of emerging companies.
Our solution introduced a shortened name, Flash Global and an iconic ‘F’ mark. Speed, efficiency and strength are at the root of what Flash Global promises their customers and the new mark embodies each of those. Moving into this new look has inspired their internal team and helped them elevate their own expectations for the company as a whole. Visually, the brand now matched the quality of the product they have been delivering for years.
Schaefer launched the new Flash Global brand with a new logo, business papers, website, presentation support and all kinds of new swag for the teams at Flash.

Schaeferites are inspired by all kinds of things. One look at our desks will tell you that: toys, baseballs, elephant figurines, mugs from places we’ve been, etc. The nature of explorers is that we go out into the world, gather inspiration and bring it back. However, sometimes that inspiration comes to us. Ladies and gentlemen, we give you Moondream, the paper that turns translucent when you emboss it.

“Oh. Hey. Christmas card.”

But what should we emboss? How about our building? Yeah, our building. From our home to yours? Yes. Christmas or holidays? Christmas. Candle to put inside? DO IT. Wait, too expensive. It’s okay, people have candles. What if they burn their houses down? Include instructions. Who’s going to fold and stuff and stamp them? We are.

And that’s the brief but accurate history of this year’s Christmas card. Hope it finds you well.

Pinnacle Healthcare Advisors, Inc., is focused exclusively on partnering with healthcare providers to improve clinical, operational and financial performance. Their consultants have an average of 20 years of experience in healthcare, which includes working for both healthcare providers and consulting firms. Additionally, their consultants have both clinical/operational and IT experience and are experts at fully leveraging system capabilities to meet end-user needs. It’s this unique breadth of knowledge and experience that sets them apart.

Schaefer was tasked with updating the Pinnacle brand to match their highly specialized offerings and vast experience in an ever-changing industry. We worked through branding and collateral materials to give them a solution that separated them from their competition and gave them an identity that could work hard for them with a bold, strong presence.

The new logo eliminates the separated icon of the original and instead incorporates an angular flag into the letter P. It’s a simple design detail that simplifies their logo and creates a clean, modern look. The bold color palette of red and electric yellow was selected to stand out from the ocean of ‘waiting room’ blues and grays found throughout any healthcare sector.

Like most of our clients, Pinnacle’s offerings were already the top of their industry, what hey needed was a consistent brand identity with a personality. Now, they have the proper brand foundation to build on as their company continues to grow.

FW_OperaBall_invite_800
For the third year in a row, we partnered with the Fort Worth Opera to develop the  invitation design for their largest and most impactful fundraising event of the year – the Opera Ball. Proceeds from this event go toward programming, community outreach and the annual FW Opera Festival. The Opera Ball committee had chosen a sci-fi theme for this year’s ball. Not saying we’re nerds or anything, but our minds quickly went into hyperdrive upon hearing this. Get it? Of course you do. The Fort Worth Opera Ball competes with several high-end donor events within the city, and it was imperative that our materials grab people’s attention and get them excited to attend.

We ultimately named this year’s ball the Galactic Gala and included references to Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica and other stellar movies. See? We can’t help ourselves. With a minimal print budget, we were still able to create a printed invitation that people could interact with. When you pulled the invitation from the sleeve it looked as if the light saber was turning on. Many people felt compelled to make their own sound effects. Some were better than others, and we may or may not have looked it up on Youtube to see who was closest.

Malware Apocalypse!

At this year’s Spice World expo in Austin, Texas, Schaefer client McAfee Security was there in force to help all those IT professionals keep both their I and their T safe. The concept, Malware Apocalypse, likened all the computer-eating monsters roaming the internet to our favorite brain-eating monsters roaming various movies and TV shows.
We helped deck out the booth (and the humans) in all sorts of zombie hunting gear. We had zombie themed props and giveaways – we even had makeup artists at the booth to give people the undead makeunders they always wanted. No surprise, it was a hit. The client agreed it was one of the most successful Spiceworld showings yet, and there’s no doubt that our concept left a lasting impression on attendees.
