Shenandoah Development Group’s new logo marries the client’s request for a clean and modern look with the deep green and rich blue colors that reflects the strategic land development company’s connection to the land and commitment to professionalism and growth.

The company excels in managing planning, zoning, entitlements, and utility infrastructure, with a focus on joint ventures and collaborations.
When a new client, a lumber and hardware store in San Angelo, tasked Core Creative with developing a new logo to launch its rebrand, we delivered a clean, modern and bold logo fitting of the company’s fresh vision. City Lumber & Wholesale has been a “hometown” business in San Angelo since it opened in 1949, known in the community for stocking quality product for builders and contractors in addition to having a retail storefront offering customers daily hardware needs.
Core Creative has been hard at work for several months on an exciting and all-encompassing branding and marketing project for a developer that is bringing a new luxury condo community to Northwest San Antonio—The Gabriel. Highlighting elements of the modern and luxury brand while bringing in a nature component as a nod to the residential community’s location at the edge of the Hill Country on a 4-acre private park, Core Creative have created a complete marketing package for the brand.
Core Creative Photography artistically produced a collection of photos of Fannie Thomas’ newest gold and gemstone jewelry pieces.

Core Creative intentionally designed these print materials for The Ferguson—a vibrant new live/work/play townhome and condo community in Taylor, Texas—to seamlessly reflect the development’s modern upscale brand. Pre-reservations for these thoughtfully designed homes just northeast of Austin are currently available at www.thefergusoncondos.com.
Superheroes will unite to save the day at Cambridge PTO’s Balloonfest in Spring 2025. Core Creative is helping to fuel this superpowered event with the design of a new on-theme logo, lawn signs, t-shirts, sponsor packets, signage, website, email marketing, raffle packets and more. This looks like a job for Superman! Up, up and away to Balloonfest 2025!
After a number of years working with Cambridge PTO on branding and materials for its annual fundraiser—Balloonfest—Core Creative recommended creating an anchor logo for the event. What is an “anchor logo”? It’s a consistent brand and logo that builds trust and recognition over time. It helps to establish, in the audience’s mind, that it is a recurring/annual event. Anchor logos should be updated annually (with details, colors and design elements) to compliment the year’s theme.
Core Creative Photography recently orchestrated a photo shoot for Focal Point Vision of the doctors in a variety of shots and uniforms. Shooting on a clean and crisp white background allows for these versatile shots to be used in a number of ways including on the website, in presentations and marketing materials and more. For the ease and convenience of a client, Core Creative Photography can go “offsite” and turn almost any location into a proper space for a photo shoot, as was the case here.
Did you know that Core Creative can help you with the design of your next trade show booth?

We’ve all seen the good and not so good real estate photos and know that photography that captures the optimal angles and light really makes a property stand out.
