TACONY ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL
Several new charter schools petitioned the Philadelphia School District to open in 2010 but only a few were selected. Once selected, they had to move fast to accept eligible students and VFC helped this client brand with a new identity featuring logo and school colors, a web site and an online registration application.
KEYSTONE GREEN BUILDING SYSTEMS
A labor and maintenance staffing company with a focus on green building products, sustainability and environmentally friendly supplies, Keystone Green’s site features SIMS, a custom application that allows them to communicate with clients and track project progress. VFC named and branded the company and built the robust SIMS application.
MAJOLICA MAKES A COMEBACK
For the past four years one light has consistently burned bright in the regional restaurant scene but fine dining everywhere took a tangible hit with the onset of the recession. VFC collaborated with Majolica to reinvent the offering, reorganize the company and reinvent the image.
In less than two weeks a new marketing mission was rolled-out to support a revamped menu featuring lower price points. VFC rebranded Majolica to make the image and offering more accessible and less sophisticated. The strategic effort included a new logo, sign, website, collateral standards, interior decorating and press effort.
Brand New
TACONY ACADEMY CHARTER SCHOOL
The sister school to VFC client and wildly successful, First Philadelphia Charter School, Tacony Academy will bring opportunity to children in neighborhoods where opportunities are rare. That hope is reflected in the logo glyph which also represents the collaborative effort of the charter and the bridge for which Tacony is known.
DR. DRHOSOSKY, PODIATRIST
VFC tends to look at nonproprietary services as commodities during initial branding exercises. Our first objective is to learn what makes the offering different so that we can begin to position the brand while developing a personality that consumers will find attractive. This foot doc looks fun!
