New SteriPEN Retail Packaging

Cassidy — Tue, 11 May 2010 15:23:37 +0000

Pica Design was asked to create New Packaging for a company in Blue HIll, Maine called Hydro-Photon. Hydro-Photon sells a product called the SteriPEN. Pica Design has been designing all of the SteriPEN collateral for the last 5 years. They recently released 3 new SteriPEN products; The SteriPEN Emergency, Mini, and Traveler. Each product is intended for a different market but they wanted the packages to have a similar look and feel. Click Here for a larger view.

What a better way to celebrate the holidays than to help spread peace through Blueberry and Strawberry Preserves. Peace Preserves, a Client of Pica Design, is a local business that was created to provide an array of unique fundraising items to nonprofit organizations and the retail market. Products were developed as a vehicle to express the simple message to “Spread Peace, Peace Works”. When you buy their products, you send funds directly to youth organizations who are working towards achieving peace in our world today. To learn more on Pica Design’s involvement in helping Peace Preserves to develop their brand identity and packaging, click here. To purchase Peace Preserves for gifts or for your holiday enjoyment, you can visit a variety of local establishments such as the Farmers Fare, the Belfast Co-op, Whole Foods in Portland or directly through the Peace Preserves website . Enjoy!

Pica Establishes TxtResponsibly.org

James Mehorter — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 15:52:35 +0000

TxtResponsibly.org (the idea and the website) was created by the staff at Pica Design. Hearing news stories about the dangers of texting while driving, the statistics started to sink in: a distracted driver is 23 times more likely to cause a car accident than an undistracted driver, according to the recent VirginiaTech Transportation Institute Study. To put this into a more familiar context, drunk drivers are 7 times more likely to cause a car accident than sober drivers. The mission of the organization is to raise awareness of the dangers of texting while driving and to prevent harmful injury or death caused by the act of texting recklessly. Would you take the oath? Visit www.txtresponsibly.org.

We re-designed this beautiful Camden Inn’s website just before the 2008 summer tourism season.

From sweeping ocean views to gorgeous interior decor, this Inn has it all, and the new web site is enticing new visitors to explore the area.
