The Awesomest Design Team in B2B Land (and maybe anywhere else)

Design’s finally taking a front seat in the business world. It took an Apple to do it, but we’re there.

Everywhere design’s done well it adds jaw-dropping value. And every time a great designer is briefed well (and you get the hell out of his/her way), you’ll be pleasantly surprised a short while later.

As an account director here at Velocity, it’s a neverending gift to be able to hand projects to the design team. Why? Because I know I’ll be able to put an ear-to-ear grin on our clients’ faces some hours or days later. People get physically excited about their brand or projects – seen it happen time and time again.

So, hat’s off to the design team this Friday. Take a bow, Jim Harrison, Luke Donaghey, Joel Avery, Melanie Bartheidel and Dom Whooley.

And here’s a small selection of their recent work to give you an idea why we love them so.

(Note: Please don’t blow these up full-screen – it won’t be a pleasant user experience. These are quick screen grabs for the purpose of a paean. Not for print. And, if the designers themselves saw me sharing their work low-res, they’d smack my head one by one. They’re that devoted to quality. Hope you can enjoy these anyway. If you want to see the work in a proper light, go here.)
