We are pleased to announce the recent launch of a new and greatly improved Web presence for AEGIS Professional Services. In addition to a completely new look and feel, driven by the brand we created for them earlier, the new site takes advantage of the best tools the Web has to offer in regards to content management as well as interactivity with the audience as a result of the LinkedIn conversation that is accessible via the site.

As a business that is focused on the concerns, actions and opinions of its clientele, AEGIS is now properly outfitted with a Web communications platform that suits their unique and innovative practice areas.

Visit their new site at: http://www.aegisps.com and don’t be shy about joining the current conversation/discussion through the direct linkage in the lower right of the Home page. You may even find one or more Big Wheeler’s weighing in on the matter at hand…

Kingsbury Animal Hospital, known in part for their compassion and understanding of animal behavior to better treat patients, recently came to us with the task of re-defining their identity system.

The hospital architecture is semi-inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. The interior is warm with wood finishes, stained glass, tall ceilings, and is inviting yet sophisticated.

With these attributes in mind, we created a new logo and identity system that combines these architectural attributes with man’s best friend – the dog, and man’s other best friend – the cat.

To learn more, visit Kingsbury Animal Hospital, located in the University City Loop in St. Louis, Missouri.

One of the new banners for the updated City Museum home page

City Museum, our local experts on imagination and creation, always have some new development brewing to provide a fresh and engaging experience for every visit. Recent additions include life-size Rock’em Sock’em robots that you can use to battle your friends for bragging rights, new secret passages, renovation in the first floor area, and more. In addition, expanded summer hours will begin soon on March 15th. With so many updates, it was only proper to also give their web site an update to reflect their inspired activities. We’ve updated their home page with some fresh colors, photos, and a scrolling-marquee-type banner to highlight the activities of St. Louis’ most imaginative group.

We always enjoy working on branding campaigns, big or small, from the ground up. In this case, one of the largest designer resale shops in St. Louis came to us with the task of defining a new store name, logo, business cards, advertising, and a simple micro-site.

With an audience ranging from late teens to early early forties, it was important to have a name that evoked personality and spoke to the exclusivity about “being in the know” to find out about their trendy name brands at great prices.

From that idea, the name “clique” was born and everything else fell into place.

The Baleout is a Vintage Fashion and Accessories store located in the City Museum in downtown St. Louis. With an extremely large product inventory (acquired in 1 ton clothing bales – thus their name) they have one of the biggest collections of vintage sweaters, ties, jeans, and dresses in the midwest.

Big Wheel lent our hand to The Baleout with a new logo representing the large clothing bales their product was acquired in, a website landing page with a bit of animated eye candy, sales promotion cards, and a business card system.

To learn more about The Baleout, please visit www.thebaleout.com and be sure to stop by the 4th Floor of the City Museum to check out their store.

If you are from St. Louis, you have probably heard of the Women’s Closet Exchange.

Recognized nationally as the Best Designer Resale Shop by the National Association of Resale and Thrift Stores, it offers so many name brands and selection of merchandise that it draws intrigued customers from all over the country.

This fall, Big Wheel has worked closely with the Women’s Closet Exchange and is proud to have helped them launch their new graphic identity system and website.

The new site showcases latest product arrivals, speaks about their resale process, features a “Be the First to Know” email sign up, and delivers key information all served up in an easy to navigate website.

Since 2003, team members from Big Wheel have been collaborating with our friends at Mark Andy on a variety of media for web, interactive, branding, advertising, print, and trade show creative.

Throughout the year, there are several packaging and label trade shows, with Label Expo being one of the largest. The show typically alternates between Chicago, Illinois and Brussels, Belgium. This year it was held in Brussels. The turnout was excellent and Mark Andy caught a lot of attention with the launch of its newly anticipated press, the Performance Series.

The Performance Series was well received and is a true game changer in work flow and productivity. We would like to express our sincerest appreciation to the good team at Mark Andy for letting us be a part of the experience.

Above are a few snaps of the trade show booth and show traffic.

This past summer was a busy one for Big Wheel. We work with a variety of clients and always enjoy learning about their business’ and what makes them tick, so we can help position them to take full advantage of this ever evolving internet world that we live in.

Landscape Saint Louis is no exception to the rule. With their wonderful team at hand, we were quickly convinced after seeing their work and speaking with all the gears that make their wheel turn that Landscape Saint Louis is top shelf when it comes to landscaping solutions – big or small.

That being said, we are happy to have collaborated with them over the summer to launch their new website this fall.

The new site is highly visual and showcases dozens of their design solutions delivered to inspire ideas and and demonstrate creativity. The interface features a seasonal graphic element (leaves top left) that is pre-programmed to change with the seasons to something new that reflects the time of year. The Latest Work callout (bottom right) links to a Featured Projects section and shows how specific projects progressed from start to finish utilizing a “Flash Flip Book” visual solution.

Bravely going where no other company in their industry has gone before, CENTRIC HEALTH RESOURCES has just launched a new web site with BIG WHEEL that we think you’re going to want to see: http://www.centrichealthresources.com

While most of the competition’s sites take themselves too seriously and/or are comprised of the same 25 images of smiling doctors and patients, CENTRIC has fearlessly launched into deep space with this heavily theme-based design centered around their operating philosophy – which puts patients and their needs at the center of the universe.

From colorful infographics that explain complex business practices to engaging media and informative materials found in their new KNOWLEDGE BASE, this web site allows the audience to see how profoundly different CENTRIC is, and what that can mean for the patients, providers and manufacturers they serve.

We are proud to have played such a large role in creating this new Web vehicle, and look forward to our next “mission” with this client.
