The logo is stunning. Initial reaction across the board was WOW! We love the clean feel of it, and the little red child with the reaching arms is really perfect for what we do. It puts the focus on the child, which is where it should be. I am already feeling very cool being associated with our brand!
Dan Kohan and Sensical Design created amazing and high quality work for our annual report this year. Dan was wonderful to work with, creating a unique design that perfectly highlighted our programs and mission. His work was efficient and high-quality. We highly recommend Sensical Design.
