Hey bloggers!

We just finished two ads for some of our favorite artists for our friends at INO Records. Both Disciple and The Afters have new albums coming out, be sure to get them!

Enjoy!

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!

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 released a new site, Impact South Africa, for Thrive Africa.  The site has become an initiative for fund-raising and awareness to support the mission of Thrive.  We worked together from the brainstorming stages all the way through today’s launch, playing an intricate part in the branding and delivery of this new campaign.  It’s not every day that we get to work with someone across the world, which we thoroughly enjoy doing – we encourage you to check out great work Thrive Africa is doing – do something.

We are continually entrenched at our desks working diligently on a slew of projects – we look forward to releasing new content this spring.

Stay tuned!

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!

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!

We are currently working a lot of new projects this coming month of September – websites for Drew Michael Taylor Foundation, LifeLoveMusic, Lifest 2010, Hungry for Life, and much more.  We are going to be releasing some sneak peeks in the coming days of a few projects so you can see our progress!

We also had our very first invigorating whiteboard session today. We’re trying to make use of all of our brainpower in dealing with our projects, making sure we come up with the best for our clients.  You never know, maybe you’ll be on our whiteboard soon … ?

Stay tuned in the coming weeks for our latest work and some sneak peeks!

Hello faithful blog-readers!  We understand tomorrow most people are off for the upcoming holiday, however we will be in the office designing our little fingers off.  Projects have been coming in very quickly the past three months, so everyone here in the office is very, very busy!  We have a few projects to share with you.

1. WEB – Impact Africa.  Our very own Trevor Roberts (along with his wife) is heading over to South Africa this month to help build some homes in the community and to work with local children in VBS programs. We designed this website for people not only to know what Impact South Africa is, but also to inform people on what they would be doing while they are there.

2. PRINT – We have been super busy with print as well, however we wanted to share labels that we designed for Afrikan Republic. African Republic makes skin care products, and we had the opportunity to re-design their product labels.

3. APPAREL – We have been printing apparel like madmen. Hats for Joe Pa’s Sports Grille, a dozen local church projects, and we just released four brand new LifeLoveMusic shirts for the 2009 line. We have much more to come…

We wish you a wonderful holiday weekend, be careful with those fireworks!
