Carrot Creative Blog

Carrot has recently accepted two interns to assist with office work and graphic design. Matt Furtado, an excellent graphic artist, will be taking on projects to enhance his skills in design as well as get experience in how to communicate with clients. He comes with great talent and we look forward to having him create great websites. Erin Sullivan will be our business administration intern, assisting in office duties and client relations. Her management skills will come in handy in our busy office.

We look forward to having both Matt and Erin share their skills with us, and hope that we can pass along a fun internship experience to them.

The Professional Athlete Transition Institute, better known as PATI, is has entrusted Carrot to create their identity logo. PATI is dedicated to developing niche services designed to help elite athletes make the transition into a career. PATI offers the career development, career transition, and education and research to help these athletes begin a new phase in their lives. PATI is currently the sole provider of career development services to the NHL, the NHL Players’ Association, and the NHL Alumni Association. The PATI logo, created by Carrot, embodies the transition of athlete to life after sports in an attention grabbing way. Keeping with the hockey logo basics, we mirrored the NHL shield to get the attention of athletes. The player on the shield shows the transition process, and can easily be changed from a hockey player to a football player, basketball player, and any other athlete. We are very happy with the way the logo turned out and have gotten great feedback from it.

Carrot has created the logo for VIPTXT.com. The focus for this idea is all about reaching the bar and club scene. Here is a sneak peak of what we have. Tantalizing, isn’t it? Check back to watch the progress and to find out when VIPTXT.com will officially launch.

Well After 183 different sketches, 19 concepts, and 8 revisions we now have a LoudCampus logo! It was a close race between two concepts but the exclamation point was a crowd favorite. World meet Loudcampus, Loudcampus meet world I hope you play nice.

It is a rarity to be able to work with a client that we can say truly influenced our lives before we even worked with them. Such is the case with one of our favorite clients, and favorite bands, The Dave Matthews Band. We recently had the opportunity to create the flash design for the DMB website as well as design the concert tickets for the upcoming summer tour.

Check out the new and improved site at www.dmband.com and tell us what you think. And hopefully, we see you at the Hartford, CT show. We’ll be the group of guys with bright orange polos on!

Carrot was recently hired to work with RK Bridal, a quaint wedding boutique located in New York City. RK Bridal was featured on season 2 of The Apprentice, so if the Donald likes this place, it must be good.
Carrot will be providing RK Bridal with an advanced Search Engine Optimization service to help grow their business further through the internet world. We are excited to be working with a company that was featured on such a well known TV show, and we hope that through our service RK Bridal will continue to succeed.

We are pleased to announce the completion of the New Laurel View Country Club website. Not only did we enjoy capturing the beauty of the golf course, but Bobby especially enjoyed spending numerous hours “working hard” at the course and getting his handicap down to a five.

Take a peek at the new site to see the new spin we put on Laurel View’s web presence. (And yes, I did just make a golf pun). http://www.laurelviewcc.com
