Cross and Crown Productions

Hello Bloggers!  July seems to have come so fast, it is hard to believe we are in the middle of 2010 already. This past month we finished the Lifest program for this year’s festival, which turned out to be a great one.  In fact, it set attendance records for the festival – congratulations Lifest! Click here to see the program!

Summer is typically the busiest time of the year for apparel designing, printing and ordering, and boy have we ever been busy with that. We designed this year’s shirts for the Chambersburg Project, which has been going on all of this week. If you are looking to get some apparel printed, now is a great time to do it as many specials are running on t-shirt sales. You know how to reach us!

On top of our already slammed summer, we are in the process of many web and print projects for New Franklin Fire Department, Olde Scotland Yard Golf Center, Destiny Image Publishers, Eagle Brook Church and Prison Fellowship Ministries – just to name a few.

Stay tuned for more art updates and news!

After a long awaited winter and spring, we have been able to move our offices!  We are now located only a short distance from where we used to be, and our address officially lies at 9 North Main Street.  We are directly above the delicious Cafe d italia restaurant on the square on the second floor in suite #1.  Come and see for yourselves!

Spring has been hectic and work-filled.  We have launched Hope Ignited and helped code and develop their site, webstore and apparel.  We have been in the process of a lot of t-shirt designing for Epic, LifeLoveMusic, Camp Joy-El and a dozen others, and with many new designs coming within the month.

Prison Fellowship has been a focus for us the past month as we have been developing, testing and designing a LMS System (that would be a Learning Management System for those of you who aren’t familiar with the acronym).  It is basically a virtual campus that organizes courses, classes and students.

We continue to be working on some new and exciting stuff – stay tuned!

This April has been a big, long month for everyone at Cross and Crown as we have put out a lot of work :

BornAwesome – Created by the regional volleyball team “Revolution Volleyball”, BornAwesome was established to “revolutionize the mentality of mediocrity that diminishes each person’s worthiness and replace it with the power and creativity of God’s original design”. They have been selling apparel and have already moved over 500 shirts!

C&C Coffee – We have revamped and simplified the website for C&C Coffee in downtown Chambersburg, with whom we share a building with. Now they have a website that compliments their great coffee, specialty drinks and fresh baked goods. This site has been featured on CSSMania!

10BuckTuesday – Launched alongside the ImpactSouthAfrica campaign, 10BuckTuesday helps remind everyone that even small gifts and donations make a difference. This site has also been featured on CSSMania!

Tuscarora Mountain Winery – Launched just this week, and we are pretty happy with the results. Started by owner Kenneth Hadley, Tuscarora Mountain Winery has already won various awards for their wine, as well as a revitalization award for his restoration work in his downtown store.

In other work,we have been working on some large projects for Hope Ignited, Lifest 2010, and various book covers for Destiny Image, and work for Shippensburg University.  We’ve recently seen a surge in screen printing and apparel design, as people are gearing up for summer. As always, you know where to go for screen printing and apparel!

Keep checking back for the latest!

Cross and Crown has officially added another designer to the family : Adam Swisher.

Adam is currently wrapping up his education at Shippensburg University for art & graphic design, and has been working with Cross and Crown the past two months on various projects.  Adam brings a plethora of talent to the design team; he specializes in identity / branding, page layout, and apparel design, bringing even more depth to the talent pool.

Adam is an active member of the Chambersburg First Church of God in Chambersburg, and is looking forward to getting married to his sweetheart in May. When not at work, you can find Adam at Buffalo Wild Wings.

It’s official – we haven’t been very good at updating our blog this year.  In fact, this is the first entry of 2010 that we have done – and it is already the end of February!

Needless to say, we have been working very hard post-Christmas on a lot of projects.  The Lifest, Antietam Realty, and Grace Reformed websites were launched in January and February, along with a whole slew of print projects for DMD Engineers, Reinford Landscaping, CenterPoint Counseling, Destiny Image Publishers, Living Hope Church, Thrive Africa, and many many more. We have been kept busy with apparel projects as well, designing and printing over another 1,500 garments within the last month.

We are continuing to work on a variety of new and exciting projects this year, even a new Cross and Crown website…

Stay tuned…

Blog readers – where have we been?  We haven’t posted for a while, and it is about time we get back on track with that.  It is quite cliche to say that “We’ve been busy”, but nothing is farther from the truth – we have been at a very high workload the past two months, coming in early and leaving the office late just to get work done and meet deadlines.  In the coming weeks we will be releasing a good bit of that work too!  We’re glad we love what we do.

We just wrapped up a two-logo set for Technivations.  Technivations is a company that works on and develops iPhone apps.  We were excited to work with these guys.

Next week we will be releasing some more sites and projects, so be sure to check back and see!

Good morning and happy Monday! On this chilly October morning we announce two of our latest website releases of Vision Conference and Off Campus Choice.

Back in early September we partnered with Vision Conference 2010 and decided to get involved in giving their logo a fresh new look, carrying that over to their new poster and print media, and now wrapping up their website. Be sure to go check it out!

Our other release, Off Campus Choice, is a resource site for college students that features housing outside of the University in Shippensburg, PA. There are many factors to take into consideration when selecting housing or renting an apartment outside of the confines of the University, and Off Campus Choice is here to provide information to students that need to make those decisions. Check it out!

We had a lot of fun in designing these sites and found both of these clients a joy to work with. Other designed media is currently being designed for both clients as well. We have a couple of other sites lined up to be launched in the beginning of November and a few other fun projects as well.

Shirt orders have been picking up for the holiday seasons approaching, so if you’re looking to get some good deals on apparel design or printing, contact us! Stay tuned to our blog and keep checking back for updates, and don’t forget to visit us on Facebook!

Yesterday, September 20th, 2009, was a very special day here at Cross and Crown. Joel Davis who has been working at Cross and Crown since the beginning, got hitched! Joel plays a large role at CACPRO, designing billboards, print media and running the apparel end of things. We will miss Joel this week as he spends some time off in TN with his wife, Jen. His wedding was held at Chambersburg First Church of God and the reception was held at the Orchards. We has a great day and we are very happy for the newlyweds!

Another exciting part of the wedding was getting to see our good friend Jack Potts. Jack is a photographer from Houston, TX. Jack owns and runs Bohemian Photography and has had the pleasure of working with many high profile clients including: Black Eyed Peas, Nike, 50 Cent and Jessica Simpson. Jack was the photographer at Joel’s wedding. He provided a few pictures to give you a glimpse of the day.

While here we had a CACPRO and C&C Coffee photo shoot. Stay tuned to some pictures from that day. Lastly we are very busy working on web builds, shirts, billboards, book covers and many other projects!

Check back soon.

As September is flying by, so are our projects! We just finished programming a microsite and donation module for Hungry For Life International. Hungry For Life (USA) connects churches and groups in North America with churches and ministries in developing countries for long term relationships involving community transformation initiatives, building projects, pastoral training and many other relief efforts. This is going to be the first of many projects with Hungry For Life that we are working on, and we are excited to be partnering with them!

In other projects, we are undertaking Jalex Homes’ new website, a brand new site for Weaver’s Tire, multiple training modules for PFM, and in the designing stages for Lifest 2010.  We are beginning development for Vision Conference 2010 in both web and print media, as well as the marketing collateral for Joe Pa’s Sports Grille. In the next two weeks we will also be laying the groundwork for Antietam Realty’s website.

As always, stay tuned here at our blog, be our friend on Facebook, or check in daily at our Twitter!
