A Nice End to a Long Project
For most of the summer and fall, I devoted much of my work week to implmenting the new logo we designed for Indianapolis Power & Light Company. This meant finding everything that the old logo was on and ensuring that it was properly updated with the new logo. There are still some things that the client is handling internally, and we’ve just gotten the go-ahead on the interior and exterior signage for their six locations, but for the most part, my work is done. I got to learn a lot about coal-burning power plants, visit their massive Petersburg facility and spent a lot of time checking the smallest details of the application of the new logo and graphics to their fleet.
They have more than 400 vehicles, from heavy duty trucks like digger derricks and material handlers that actually install, repair and maintain the power lines around the city, to your average sedan. My colleague Josh and I spent many an early morning or late night checking over the work done by the vendor and ensuring that it was all done properly.
Today, we had lunch with the vendor and a couple of our client contacts to celebrate the completion of the project. The vendor gave me my very own IPL truck, complete with all the decal work! It was a nice ending to many months of work!
The truck even came with its own safety cones!
