The Campaign Trail: B+Co works with Darren Boruff

When fellow Lakewood resident and fellow board member of the White Rock Conservancy Darren Boruff approached Leon about helping with campaign materials for his run for City Council, District 9, we were happy to sign on. Darren has a track record for improving East Dallas parks and rallying neighborhood leaders to expand the Volunteers In Patrol (VIP) program, which helps reduce crime, among many other projects. 

Darren requested simple, direct messaging and a red, white and blue theme. Once we nailed the logo (below), we produced buttons, yard signs, stickers, stationery and a Facebook page. Look for his signs around Dallas — and his name on the ballot on May 9. Get out and vote for Darren Boruff!

Good Things are Happening at Banowetz: New CD Adam Hallmark

Banowetz + Company is very excited to welcome Adam Hallmark on board as our new Creative Director. Adam brings 20 years of expertise with him, having worked with national companies such as Haggar and Fossil, and on brands like Texas Instruments, Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Target, GTE, Frito-Lay, Viacom and Nike — and the list goes on.

Adam has extensive experience in brand development, from new brands to rebrands. His vast portfolio includes identities, packaging, advertising and design across every possible medium. And he's not just prolific: He’s good. His clever and strategic thinking and clear communication have landed his work in every major design publication and have resulted in numerous awards. His track record for improving brand awareness and perception is impressive. In fact, if he weren’t such an uber-nice guy, working with him would be downright intimidating. But Adam is also a great people-person and manager, and his excitement about doing good work is contagious.

When Adam’s not designing, he’s a husband and family guy who enjoys spending his time watching his kids participate in baseball, volleyball and dance. He’s a lover of music and collector of pottery. We hope you will get the chance to meet him — or better yet, work with him on a project — really soon.
