so i’ve been working on various projects and trying to get them done before vacation. from all of these the one i’ve been really enjoying is for a non profit which was started just last year called Climb for Kids.

the non profit was started by Matt K. in late 2007 for TTTS and other fetal syndromes. i won’t go into the details of why - it’s just too emotional. if you wish to find out more about Climb for Kids you can check out their site as well as Matt’s Blog.

because it’s a great cause, a non profit and the fact i know Matt when i was asked by Matt if i could design a logo for his non profit i said yes. he stated he couldn’t pay much as each dollar paid to me would be a dollar less for TTTS and other fetal syndrome research. needless to say i told him i’d be more then happy to do it pro-bono.

i’ve been working on various design projects for Climb for Kids for a few weeks now and i have to say it’s one of the more gratifying works i’ve done. the idea that my designs can help such a good cause rather then shares of a stock just makes me feel good (not that helping companies design successful products is bad). i just had a design review last week with Matt and the logo is a go! his words for the logo (not the perfect quote but this is the gist of what he said)…

"i showed my wife and she said it looks just how she envisioned both daughters looking."

needless to say i got all chocked up. the logo is a go, the business cards is a go, the letterhead and website is close. i’m guessing in another two weeks the letterhead and website will also be finished. once everything goes live i’ll post the designs here. i’ll also be updating my business website soon and i’m planning on using the work from Climb for Kids as one of the projects featured.
