Card Design Brief
I am in need of a holiday card design that can be distributed to an email distribution list of elected officials, supporters, vendors, etc.
Initially we were hoping for an animated graphic, but we are okay with a static card as well.
We are a public transportation company located in State College, PA. We provide a number of services - CATABUS (fixed-route bus service), CATARIDE (paratransit for persons with disabilities and persons 65 and over), and CATACOMMUTE (carpool and vanpool matching for long-distance commuters). This year we are celebrating our 40th anniversary. Our website is www.catabus.com.
I am attaching several files which may aid in providing some inspiration.
1) Our full logo, and our 40th anniversary logo. At least one should be used in the card. Our red-orange is 1795C.
2) Two digital copies of large posters we had created to celebrate our 40th anniversary at the start of the year. These were commissioned pieces.
3) A copy of an abstract bus that I often use in my paid ads.
4) A copy of a recent groundbreaking invitation we sent to elected officials. I tended to really like the cut paper/South Park look of the design.
By no means do I have anything specific in mind, other than it having a holiday theme and saying on it. I'm interested in seeing what you can come up with that will work well for our company!
Please let me know if you have any questions.
