ST. LOUIS (August 5, 2002) - Celebrating its 25 year anniversary in 2002, Paradowski Graphic Design has seen a lot of trends come and go (and come back) -- Ozzy Osborne, fondue, platform shoes and hip-huggers, and Star Wars, just to mention a few. However, throughout its two and a half decades, one thing has remained constant -- the firm's dedication to delivering highly-effective communication materials that speak to its clients' target audiences.
Since opening its doors in 1977 with one employee, Paradowski Graphic Design has consistently utilized design as a problem-solving tool. The firm has a proven history for producing work that is as strategic and functional as it is attractive. "Our creative solutions take a variety of forms and all use design to enhance or communicate a specific message. Achieving a functional balance between the project goals and aesthetic concerns is of utmost importance to us," explains Alex Paradowski, principal.
Paradowski Graphic Design has been honored with regional, national and international awards of excellence including the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) Bronze Quills and the Business Marketing Association TAM Awards and has been profiled in design texts and casebooks including Creativity, American Identity, Graphic Design:usa and HOW magazine.
Awards for creativity, strategy and design have not been limited to traditional communications assignments. In 1995, the firm's renovation of its offices was recognized locally by Landmarks Association and nationally as the best urban renewal project in the country for a project its size. Chicago's Navy Pier was the recipient in the other size category. Paradowski Graphic Design also received the Better Downtown Award in 1996 from Downtown St. Louis, Inc. and the Landmarks Association's 1996 Preservation Week Honor Award. In addition, the firm received third place in the St. Louis Business Journal's 2001 Best Places to Work in St. Louis competition in the Corporate Culture, 50 or fewer employees category.
"We are proud of what we have achieved for our customers and our employees over the past 25 years. We have succeeded where many of our competitors have not. We look forward to the challenges and opportunities in the next 25 years," Paradowski adds.
Paradowski Graphic Design provides clients with a strategic approach to visual communications that culminates in results-oriented marketing tools, including corporate identity, brochures, web sites, annual reports and other publications.
