Due to the current health crisis, the 2020 Stamford Boys & Girls Club 5K went virtual this year. Our team this year included Dan Taylor, Chris Taylor, Nora Vaivads, Steve Habersang, Kristine Habersang, and Cindy Lau. All proceeds raised will benefit the Stamford Boys & Girls Club.
An identity program created for Klingenstein Philanthropies by Art Director Steph Baumer has been chosen for inclusion in the new book “Logo Lounge 12.” From the publisher: “Your work was picked from among the 42,000 logos reviewed by our international judging panel of designers, including Dan Janssen, Mackey Saturday, Veronica Fuerte, Chris Do, Jonathan Rudolph, Justin Ahrens, Szende Brassai, Tamari Chabukiani, Bruno Campos and Eddie Lobanovskiy.” The new book will be released by Rockport Publishers.

We received notice from UCDA that our work was selected as a winner in the 2020 UCDA Design Awards competition. The project chosen was the Brigham and Women’s Hospital Brigham Health magazine. The piece was designed by Steve Habersang; illustrated by Michael Hoeweler, John Holcroft, and Cindy Lau; written by Joy Howard, Jennifer Reardon, and Lauren Thompson; and photographed by Stu Rosner, and Len Rubinstein; and the digital publication programmed by Hannah Wool.
Our 2020 Taylor Design Calendar entry has been selected to be published in Creative Quarterly 60, which will go live in November 2020. It was designed by Bria, written by Stacey, illustrated by Iris, printed by Printech, and conceived by the Taylor Design team.
With Dan serving as the moderator, Francesco Bertocci, the Customer Success Manager and Ambassador at Sketch, taught the wireframing, visual design, interaction design, and prototyping app to AIGA CT members and guests on Wednesday May 20th.
As the spread of COVID-19 continues, we are doing our best to navigate through this extremely unusual circumstance. Together, as a community, we are confident that we can find our way through this. We are fully open for business and we have moved all of our staff from our downtown Stamford studio to remote home work locations. We had already made the move of all project files to a secure Dropbox environment last year, so there will be no issues in terms of work productivity. We can conduct conference calls and screen share meetings as needed. All of our designers and programmers can be reached directly on their usual Taylor Design email addresses. If you need to reach anyone by phone, use our main 203-969-7200 number and we can connect you.
Taylor Design is serving as a book drop-off location in advance of the Connecticut Art Director’s Club’s Ready, Set, Go Student Workshop. The collected design books will be distributed to graphic design students at the January 25th event.
As a board member of AIGA Connecticut, Dan coordinated the fall speaker showcase event at the University of Bridgeport’s Shintaro Akatsu School of Design. The graphic design legend Gail Anderson gave an inspirational speech. Hannah, Cindy, Nora, and Iris joined Dan for the talk.
Join Dan on Friday, September 27th at 10:30 am as he hosts and moderates the “Trendspotting: Your Future Customer” panel discussion at Stamford Innovation Week. Happening at UConn Stamford GeRe Auditorium. To find out more and register, visit: https://siweek.org
