The thumbprint is a permanent fixture tying the company name to its tagline, “leave a mark.”

Nixon explained that once the brand was uncovered and crystallized, individual brand identity pieces were developed that represent the new brand. Identity will be unveiling new business and marketing collateral, a new website, corporate signage and a series of advertisements will run over the course of 2010.

“We are proud and excited to be launching our new brand and website,” said Nixon. “The new brand is one of the powerful ways we are communicating the evolution of our business as well as reflecting on who we are, how others perceive us, how we wish to be perceived, and the innovation that differentiates us in our industry.
