Entermotion Design Studio – Wichita, KS

We do a lot of logo, and identity design. It’s always interesting to see how a company, or an individual reacts to the process. It’s a catharsis of sorts. It forces you to ask questions you may be uncomfortable with, or unfamiliar with. Logos have implied meaning; -almost like a rorschach they create introspection.
