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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Recently we released the new website of Kevin F. Harney, a licensed professional couselor located here in Chambersburg, PA.  Kevin has been counseling since 1996, and has helped hundreds of families and individuals over the past 13 years.  Kevin Harney, provides individual counseling for older children, teens and adults, and also has a great deal of experience working with couples, whether unmarried, engaged, married, divorcing/divorced, or remarried with blended families.  It was great to work with Kevin and help him launch a new and successful website.

For everything else here at Cross and Crown, we are keeping busy!  We will be showcasing 4 new shirts we designed for Lifest/Life! Promotions in a couple of days, so be sure to check back looking for those.

Stay tuned!

The month of March started off with a large list of things for us to do here at Cross & Crown.  As March continues onward, we still are very, very busy with many projects!  Today’s featured project is one that we have entered the beginning stages of, but still have much work to do.  Behold, Negley’s Well Drilling.  Up front, you would think that all they really do is drill wells, however this is not the case.  Negley’s also does all types of water treatment and testing, provides alternative geothermal energy services and even pump systems for residential homes and commercial areas.  Cross & Crown is in the process of expanding the online look and vision of Negley’s Well Drilling to more than just an assumed well drilling company.  The website we have up now is a temporary site, however in a couple of weeks we will hopefully have a much larger site developed that features all of the additional services they offer, helping to not only educate people about them, but also to share the importance of their services and the benefits they can provide.

Aside from Negley’s Well Drilling, we are also busy with other notable projects:  We just finished up a series of ads for Lifest and Nationally known speaker Bob Lenz, and are continually piecing together promotional material and apparel for the festival.  Destiny Image has kept us busy with book covers as we have been putting together a few different ones for authors Che Ahn and Jeff Jansen.  ChristianRock.Net is having us reformat their website, Dance Unabashed is having us re-do their website, We finished up a logo for Kirbtech (computer sales & support) and The Links (Chambersburg recreation center), and somewhere in the middle of all of that we managed to print and process over 1200 shirts.  Whew!

We are still cranking out work here at Cross & Crown, and have a steady flow of incoming work.  We have a few projects coming up in the beginning of April that we cannot annouce as of yet, but I am sure we will be releasing a sneak peek or two of what’s to come!

Stay tuned readers … big things to come.
