The Turning Gate

Branding Services

Your brand is a representation of both your photography business and you as a photographer. It is an integral part of your business identity and a good brand can help to separate you from the mass of amateur photographers in the classified ads, establishing you as one of the area's foremost photographic professionals.

The Turning Gate has partnered with award-winning, San Franciso-based graphic designer and brand consultant Petra Andersson-Pardini to offer quality branding services to our clients. With over a decade of experience in the field of logo and branding design, Petra's work speaks for itself.

Our goal is to be able to offer clients logo design services that will set them apart from the competition and let them stand out in the marketplace.

"I was so enamored with Petra's portfolio, I immediately commissioned her to design a new logo for The Turning Gate's 2012 rebranding," said Matthew Campagna, owner of The Turning Gate. "And when the finished logo was delivered, I was so pleased with the design, I immediately thought 'Partnership!' so that I could bring Petra's incredible talents to TTG customers.

"Petra took the time to understand my expectations, my product, my business and my vision for The Turning Gate's branding, and used that information to craft a logo that perfectly communicates and represents what we do."

Petra holds a BFA degree in Communication Design, and graduated with Honors from Parsons School of Design, NYC in 1999. For more than ten years, Petra has worked with both consumer-facing and business-to-business clients. Her logo and identity work has won several awards through the years, and her ID projects have been featured in numerous design books.

Testimony

"I had approached a few designers in regards to a logo and realized I would be working amateurs. Petra's portfolio was impressive but I was not sure what to expect when I first contacted her. After my initial contact, I could tell she was very professional. She demonstrated that with her response time, follow up and delivery of the end product. I can not stress how good she was on follow up on her commitments and response. We had three rounds of logo presentations and each time we were more impressed as she actually delivered a brand versus just a logo. It is important that a person follow her creative process, stick to the ground rules and get ready to be impressed! We enjoyed the process, opening each round was like opening a gift. She was excellent in listening to our feedback on changes and style preference. I would recommend Petra's Brand Design services to anyone who is serious about getting to the next level of business presentation."
